Thanks for the answers so far...but... ...I'm still not getting anywhere on this - sure, I can run mouseconfig. Well, I set it to the Logitech PS/2 Wheel mouse that I have at work, which works as well for the touchpad (without the middle button, but that's ok). But it still won't recognize the USB mouse when I plug it in. Is there a "generic" PS/2 mouse that I have to configure, that allows the USB mouse to be magically recognized and "wired up"? (I'd stop bugging ya'll if I could find some docs...but there don't seem to be any. I'm willing to dig through code, conf files, whatever, I just need some pointers :-) -Eric __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier.
