Can you, from a command prompt, try /sbin/lsusb (you don't have to be root)? Can you, from a *root* command prompt, run tail -f /var/log/messages and plug the mouse in? Hope this helps, James. -- E-mail address: james | "Surely you don't begrudge me one measly bag per cup?" @westexe.demon.co.uk | "Of tea, no. Of sugar, yes." | -- Peter Corlett
