-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm having trouble with the mouse on my laptop, a ibm 390x thinkpad. I have done nothing to any setting, which really makes it irritating. the problems are multiple: at the kdm screen, i can click on any user on the left, but not to change the desktop, "shutdown" or "go". also on neither text field I use XFce4, and i'm getting one left click, then that button stops working. button 2 & 3 do not work at all in "failsafe" I can load thunderbird, and teh left button works fine (again not 2 & 3) until I type something. if I open anew window in tb, the pointer is obviously on the window below, i must close the lower window (and then after the new window is closed reload tb) the pointer moves by it's self up to the upper left corner. I tried using the usb mouse from my desktop, but i can't get it to be recognized. uh...HELP! how can i either fix the onboard mouse, or failing that get a usb mouse/trackball to work (and any reccomdations for a trackball appropriate for a laptop? optical perfered, but it's a tight budget Joe - -- SuSE Linux 8.2 (i586) Kernel: 2.4.20-4GB / i686 | Posted from: Dora ~ 11:19am up 0:58, 2 users, load average: 0.26, 0.32, 0.25 The grand leap of the whale up the Fall of Niagara is esteemed, by all who have seen it, as one of the finest spectacles in nature. -- Benjamin Franklin. nqs@tmcom.com | http://tigger.tmcom.com/~nqs/blogger.html -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-rc1-SuSE (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE/pVzzoS1S7SxfpzwRAhFsAKCj3dOhcX/IGB5x0b/AHsNe0LBMEgCfS0xx FGqEil52T/oLqH1FFSC9ceY= =ZJt4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
