I've forgotten his name, but maybe he could speak up? Turns out XFree86-1.2 supports the ps/2 mouse protocol but you still need a ps/2 mouse driver. Someone mailed it to me (sorry, I erased the mail), I installed it and it works great. It does microsoft mouse emulation also. I'll put it up for ftp if someone tells me where (I can ftp *to* anywhere but can't provide a server) I'd be happy if this driver where added to the stock distribution. -brad ps: has anyone thought about modloadable drivers, ala sunos? I'm about to embark on this. -- Politically correct term for `corrupt': Ethically different, morally challenged Brad Parker FCR Software, Inc., Boston, Ma. brad@fcr.com
