In /etc/XF86Config there is a section Pointer Devices where you can specify the mouse protocol and the device. For protocol you can use "Micosoft" with most mice, even newer Logitech (if not MouseMan or the old rectangur shaped three button Logitec mouse). As a device you can choose "/dev/ttyd0" or "/dev/ttyd1" in most standard cases. > > -- > ****************** mikefish@lydia.bradley.edu ********************* > ---------------- http://rhf.bradley.edu/~mikefish/ ----------------- > --Chris Christoph P.
