I realize that. I'm frankly not quite sure if PS/2 mice do or not. The dell has a mini din plug for its factory-shipped mouse (says microsoft on it) but Dell tells me it is a PS/2 mouse. I tried using the switch and changing Xconfig to logitech (and twiddling the various parameters in Xconfig) without luck. So, it is back to microsoft mode... :| .... New bugs: Any idea how to fix the com1 silo overflow problem I am having? The trap 6 problem is a REAL problem. I did back out patch00060 but that didn't help. I've hand modified the #include files for HUGE, etc., and that doesn't help. Why it is a big problem is that I can't make everything because I get the trap 6 - particularly when recompiling the g++ library and awk. The make didn't get past either of those, and I got tired of making the universe by hand - cd dir ; make ; make install ; make clean ; cd .. cheers. : Nate : -- : osynw@terra.oscs.montana.edu | Still trying to find a good reason for : nate@cs.montana.edu | these 'computer' things.
