I had a similar problem... I remember that the problem occured because I had installed the mouse incorrectly during installation. to solve this i used the program that comes with redhat. I changed it to generic wheel mouse. In another machine it was the opposite, i had it in generic mouse and had to change it to something else (microsoft/intellimouse). If after changing your mouse it stops responding do a CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE to restart X. hope it works Rigo --- Wolfgang Gill <wolfgang@botanybay.nsw.gov.au> wrote: > I found that it only seems to work in Linux with the > IMPS/2 protocol.
