No, this is with moused. It still needs to initialize the mouse. > This may help with your X issues: > http://www.xfree86.org/current/mouse5.html#22 Yes, been through all of that and more. Nothing worked. In the meantime I've connected it up anyway as a 3 button mouse and decided I really don't like it; the buttons are far too heavy in their action, and it's difficult to move it sideways without pressing one of the side buttons. So this is not much of an issue any more. Can anybody recommend a good mouse? My criteria are: - Middle button easy to use. The current crop of mice has the middle button integrated with the roller, and that makes the middle button either heavy or easy to confuse with the roller. - Preferably cordless. Cord mice tend to wander a little when you let go of them, and that's a real nuisance on a high-resolution display. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
