Do I have to do anything with it or just the defaults? I don't know - I haven't used usbmgr with X. Its just my guess that there might be some kind of helper that some distros have by default that is passing a message to X to let it know about the usb mouse. So for people that hotplugging the mouse works for, do you have usbmgr or hotplug or something similar installed? This http://www.experts-exchange.com/Operating_Systems/X_Windows/Q_20709086.html, leads me to think that hotplug or usbmgr might be the solution. While this http://lists.svlug.org/pipermail/svlug/2003-April/044131.html suggests that Option "AllowMouseOpenFail" "1" might help. Anyway, I'd say try hotplug instead of usbmgr and see what happens. -- Jim Crumley |Twin Cities Linux Users Group Mailing List (TCLUG) crumley at fields.space.umn.edu |Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Ruthless Debian Zealot |http://www.mn-linux.org/ Never laugh at live dragons |Dmitry's free,Jon's next? http://faircopyright.org _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?
