Holman) Date: 10 Jun 93 09:10:21 -0700 References: <93160.215512CALT@SLACVM.SLAC.STANFORD.EDU> Nntp-Posting-Host: nephi-hbll.byu.edu Lines: 20 I have experience the same problem with an interesting twist. I have an old Logitech mouse made a few years ago and one of their brand-new ones. The old one works and the new one doesn't. The new ones have some type of autodetect that allows them to be microsoft compatibile as well. However, on the new mouse it doesn't work as a Logitech or a Microsoft in the XFree configuration. I think that the Logitech driver was written for the older mouse and unless someone fixes it you will not be able to get your mouse to work. Maybe some of the XFree gang can shed some light on the matter. -- +---------------------------+---------------------------------+ | BRIAN K.
