Re: Mystery Mouse

Not sure if this is relevant and/or helpful, but I had a problem with my 
PS/2 mouse w/ Mandrake 7.2 due to the load order of gpm. I fixed it by 
changing the start number in the relevant runlevels in the 
/etc/rc.d/rcx.d directories. In my case, some other device (usb?) was 
attaching to IRQ 12 and screwing with the mouse. I just renamed the 
start file to make it startup prior to harddrake/kudzu. I don't have gpm 
installed on my system now and everything appears to work allright 
without it - hmmm.....
