Thanks for the tip, did that, and verified that the mouse is set to auto in the mouse section, still no mouse in any X window manager. Back out at the terminal I unplugged the mouse and plugged it back in and get this error - unable to open /dev/ums0: no such file or directory but when I view the directory /dev there is ums0 in the directory. -- Chip Paul Schmehl wrote: > --On June 26, 2008 6:34:37 PM -0700 Chip <chip@wiegand.org> wrote: > >> I ran update.locatedb, twice, and ran locate xorg.conf and locate >> xorg.conf.new.
