I have a Microsoft Intelimouse Explorer(laser mouse) with a USB-&gt;PS/2 adapter, it seems to work better againts the random mouse cursor flying everywhere and clicking randomly every once in a while, I also tried a Generic 2 button PS/2 mouse (regular no-name, possibly 5$ type of mouse) that seems to have a bit worse of a problem with the Xwindows, anyone know how I can fix this? I do have a 3 button Genius Serial mouse somewhere in the house if I can find that, I can just use that when booting into linux. <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href= </a><br>Experienced in : C++(both VC++ and Borland),VB1(dos) thru VB6, Delphi 3 pro, HTML, Visual InterDev 6(ASP(WebProgramming/Vbscript)<br>
 
I have fixed this problem (look at the &quot;USB Support&quot; Posting here) Maim has sugested Mandrake 7.1 for USB (he also uses a M$ Intelimouse explorer) I would have gotten Mandrake if I Knew where, he pointed me in the right direction, and now everything works just great :} <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href= </a><br>Experienced in : C++(both VC++ and Borland),VB1(dos) thru VB6, Delphi 3 pro, HTML, Visual InterDev 6(ASP(WebProgramming/Vbscript)<br>
