On FC2 machines this might be /dev/inputs/mice which doesn't get you anywhere. You have to work out what device your mouse really is, /dev/psmouse IIRC is common (standard ps/2 mouse) but it depends on your hardware. The FC1 update kernels are available from http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/1/i386/ or your favourite Fedora mirror. Michael Young
