I am running suse 8.0 and using a microsoft intellimouse explorer 3.0. When I boot up the machine, the mouse will not work, but if I unplug the mouse and plug it back it, it does work. Why would this happen? Here is a copy of my /var/log/message: http://airyk.freeshell.org/stuff/messages as you can see at the end of the file, when I unplugged the mouse at 04:12:25, the disconnect was detected, so it knows it's there. by the way, the motherboard is an abit KT7A-raid, which has usb issues. I have set up the recommended usb setting in the bios. also, the mouse had no problems like this in redhat 7.3 thanks airyk _________________________________________________________________________ This mail sent via toadmail.com, web e-mail @ ToadNet - want to go fast? http://www.toadmail.com
