It locked up at bootup. I tried running kudzu from the CL but that REALLY hosed it up. Fyi, this was back when I was using GNOME and it got too boggy, so I decided to defect across the border to KDE. I think FC1 had USB problems judging by this and other issues. Wound up doing a reinstall and choosing another mouse, that was the only way I knew to fix it. Luckily this was a relatively new install anyway. I think I went to the generic choice and it fixed it. Marc
