Yes, you should have done that before you sent your first email :). Now=20 that we are all wasting bandwidth, I don't think your computer can tell=20 the difference between a wireless and a normal mouse. I have Microsoft=20 opticals on two that work on the ps/2 port and one that is hooked up to=20 the usb port. The roller scrolls through text on all of them. You have=20 to setup your mouse in XF86Config to do that. Having purchased several optical mice I will probably replace the=20 remaining one that has a ball. The new one will be wireless. A wireless=20 keyboard/mouse combo was going to be my Christmas purchase but they=20 were all sold out. I bought a Soundblaster Audigy instead. MP3=20 conversions of my audio CDs using digital extraction sound cleaner than=20 wav's from the analog side. The wireless mouse would have been better.=20 I needed 6 hours of parallel processing to reconvert my Spanish audio=20 CDs.
