This is a laptop with a built in pointing device, no external mouse.

This didn't work.
And I'm not at FC2 just yet but hope to be by tonite.
Well, it's probably a bit late by now, but check /etc/X11/XF86.conf for Section "InputDevice" where it says Identifier "Mouse", and change the Device to /dev/input/mice .
This then probably won't work with 2.4: you might want a bit of scripting to choose the "right" XF86.conf at boot depending on the kernel version.

hrmmm...no such file.
in /etc/X11 I have a number of folders and files (I'm on my XP box typing this or I would post a capture of it...)
but no XF86.conf...
I think I'll go light the grill. I have been knocking my head for 4 days now.
I need a steak.
Thanks if you have any other suggestions, either about the USB/mouse problem or the FC2 upgrade issue.
