The serial mouse on my desktop does not work when I boot, but if I go into text mode and run system-config-mouse, give the correct settings (Microsoft compatible mouse on com1) and return to graphical mode the mouse works perfectly, until I reboot. Actually the only time I reboot the desktop is when I change the kernel, so the issue is more theoretical than practical. But how can I make this change permanent? I can't see anything wrong with the Pointer settings in my xorg.conf . But what exactly does system-config-mouse change? [And why does it _not_ make the change permanently for X?] -- 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
