It's a usb optical mouse, and every once and a while it will freeze and then I have to unplug it and plug it back in to get it to work. it is a Microsoft USB optical 3 button wheel mouse ps/2 compatable. I'm running gentoo, 2.6.3 kernel, dell precision 530. When it dies the red light under it goes really really dim - but not off... any ideas here? I'm getting sick of reaching under hte desk and plugging in out and in all day! thanks john _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
