No, but I have experienced something similar, and would be very interested in hearing from anyone that can give any answers about the gateway mice. I have tried getting NetBSD0.9/Xfree86-2.0 to recognise it as a bus mouse, as a ps/2 mouse and as a microsoft mouse, all with no luck. A logitech serial mouse in com1 seems ok however. The answer to this problem would make my life complete :-) Mike -- Michael Osborne Internet: mlo@dcs.qmw.ac.uk Queen Mary & Westfield College Computer Science Dept Mile End Road Telephone: +44 71-975 5250/33 LONDON, E1 4NS, UK Fax: +44 81-980 6533
