After using linux a couple of years I was beginning to feel like I was emerging from the newbie category but this problem with Suse has me right back there. I tried using your config and some variations as well, But all I get is a mouse that keeps returning to the lower left corner of the screen so is not usable. Then I tried another mouse. It's a MS mouse port compatible 2.1A. With the BIOS USB IRQ enabled I got by the correction in the desktop test ok. Then I opened Netscape, got to the Suse site and moved around a bit. But when I tried to enlarge the small window I lost the mouse and the kb. When I turn power off and on to reboot I usually end up with "fsck failed" mess which I don't want to tackle so have to repeat the install. This time the reboot went ok and in "dmesg" I see some lines I haven't noticed before:
usb-uhci.c: Intel USB controller: setting latency timer to zero. usb-uhci.c: USB UHCI at I/O 0xd400, IRQ5 usb-uhci.c: Detected 2 ports usn.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1 usb.c: USB hub found usb.c: 2 ports detected
In the meantime the Red Hat machine and the mac go along fine and don't care what mouse I use.
Jack Phew....this really sounds spooky and goes way by the few cells I got left in my head. When I was poking around in another SuSE box today I ran into this wheel-mouse README file included in a imwheel package from Freshmeat, in the Installation part it mentions your mouse. I can send you the whole file if you think it can be of any help. Here's the Installation part.

Thanks for all the info. That should take care of what I need. I may end up buying the mouse you are using... But first I am going to try the suggestion I received - to connect the mouse directly to the computer rather than thru the OmniCube. Jack
