(just realized this is now a public list - sorry if last post did not meet guidelines) I hope you all can help. I am having the worst time trying to get XF86 to recognize my mouse. I am fairly sure this is a bug (or at least an incompatibility). I have included my hwconf, XF86Config, and of course XFree86.0.log files. Here are some other things that might help: - My mouse is a Logitech Trackman Marble+ - I have a KVM switch between two RedHat Linux machines. The mouse works great on the other box. - I have tried RedHat versions 7.3, 8.0 and 9.0 (can't recall exact kernels), and recently Debian with kernels 2.2.18 and 2.4.20. All have the same negative results. - The included XF86Config file is from today and is from a fresh RedHat install. The only change is the commented "InputDevice":"DevInputMice" Section to make it match the other machine's config file. That's the only 'fooling around" I did with it. (this time). - My motherboard is an Abit BX6-r2 with latest BIOS. (I don't think any of the BIOS settings are out of the ordinary, but I will write down anything you think is useful. Hopefully I have given you enough information. Please ask for anything else you might need. Sincere Thanks, noob ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- XFree86.0.log: < video initialization snipped > XFree86 Version 4.3.0 (Red Hat Linux release: 4.3.0-2) Release Date: 27 February 2003 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.6 Build Operating System: Linux 2.4.20-3bigmem i686 [ELF] Build Date: 27 February 2003 Build Host: porky.devel.redhat.com Before reporting problems, check http://www.XFree86.Org/ to make sure that you have the latest version.
