I recently added a usb-mouse to a Linux box and decided to do a clean reinstall with an unofficial woody image, and an upgrade to the 2.4.6 kernel. (This turned out to be much more difficult than just doing a dist-upgrade to testing from potato that I had done on another computer). Anyway, the mous

Xdm works fine ( when you have the X configured correctly) in hamm as well. Just install xdm, and it will work. If you ever want to get rid of it, edit the /etc/X11/config file and comment the line that says 'start-xdm' Same, to get it to work again, uncomment that line. Andrew -
