I finally figured out the problem with the mouse. For some reason the Redhat installation utility installed the mouse as PS/2 even though I had specified Intellimouse. I ran mouseconfig (after a long search through the web...) and it configured the mouse as IMPS/2. While I was at it, I ran XConfigurator and somehow managed to successfully configure the monitor for 1024x768. As they say, it's all fairly easy... ya just gotta know where to look for the information. :-) A lot has changed from my 1995 version of Linux (command line only) so now I get to dip my toes into the new waters... Anybody have a life preserver I can borrow? :-) Lothan _______________________________________________ techtalk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/techtalk
