Isn't that slightly crazy? I mean, the command should be called system-config-mouse-gpm or something like that, if it is not meant to affect the way 99% of users use their mouse. Is there any system-config command, or any command, to change the mouse settings in /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? The Control Panel mouse item does not seem to have any way to change the actual mouse in use. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
