New Mouse Problem
Suse 7.1 kernel 2.4.4 XF86 4.0.3

Is anyone successfully using the Microsoft Intellimouse USB Optical
under Suse?

Mine is working ok in a terminal (ie F1-F6). Unfortunately, it fails
to work in KDE. I have tried yast and sax2 to configure the mouse.
XF86Config shows the protocol as auto, but after booting the Xserver
says it cannot determine the protocol.
Usb seems to be ok. I can do modprobe usbmouse and modprobe hid. One
of the error messages shows "error getting string descriptor 0
(error=-6). I think this is related to gpm -used for cutting and
pasting between terminals. This seemed to work when I used it.

Any suggestions appreciated
The input section for XF86Config would be helpful -probably needs to
be for XF86 4.0.3.
