I don't have the 4 marked lines enabled; the rest is as yours. I have checked in this machine: it shows /dev/input/mouse0 before 'startx' & the mouse works in Twm as well as in Fluxbox; it is not present at start-up before 'startx' in the new box. That seems to show the problem in the new box isn't in X or in Fluxbox. Thanks for both suggestions so far, I wb trying them out + various other tests which occurred to me while I was asleep (smile). Any further advice is very welcome. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
