Hi,

I have been having no end of problems trying to get my mouse to work
under 2.05. I had problems with a PS/2 type so I switched to a
Logitech 2 button serial. It seemed to work fine under X, except that
some menus don't work. Using twm or fvwm the menus for the window
manager work fine. However the menus that are supposed to popup under
and xterm (CTL-buttton 1) don't appear at all. The pull down menus
with Ghostview,  Xman or Xmh appear but I cannot select anything i.e.
the highlight bar never appears.
My XF86Config settings for the pointer are
Protocol "MouseMan" ( I tried both Microsoft and Mouseman)
Device "/dev/ttyd0"
Emulate3Buttons

Has anyone any ideas on solving this?
