A friend looked at my XF86Config, and suggested that I change the "Device" line in the stanza just below: > Section "InputDevice" > Identifier "Configured Mouse" > Driver "mouse" > Option "CorePointer" > Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0" > Option "Protocol" "MouseSystems" > EndSection from "/dev/ttyS0" to "/dev/gpmdata". I did so , and now my mouse seems to work fine. (The last time I had to work at setting up X11, the "gpm" was turned off when the X was turned on; now life is different, I guess) I hope that I have not disturbed anyone too much with my previous post, and I hope that the list administration will either suppress both of these messages, or, if he has already passed on the previous one, that he pass this one on as well. Best wishes and Happy Holidays to all!
