Hi
I have been using DSL 1.5 for about a year as a live cd. No problem untill very recently. The mouse no longer worked. I assumed (!) that my slot loading player had damaged the cd. I asked a friend to download and burn DSL 2 ( the same friend who did the 1.5 for me. I had no faith in my burner)
Well again no mouse.
In the meantime I had downloaded Beatrix and it had a mouse!
Any help would be great.
Thanks
( I am using Mepis ( on harddrive) to write this)

Sorry but my crystal ball is not working today. :D
Hard as I try I cannot "see' what kind of mouse you have.

Do you have more than one mouse plugged in?

What is the output of your .xserverrc file?

What kind of mouse?

Sarcasm does not become you; or perhaps I was unclear.
I have been using DSL 1.5 for about a year; in that time I have used a trackball,a standard mouse (with a ball on the bottom), and now an optical mouse. DSL 1.5 worked with all. untill it stopped a week or so ago.(only one mouse at a time)
This reminds me of the joke about the drunk who claimed he knew which ingredient made him drunk. He tried scotch with water, rye with water and vodka with water He got drunk on each and said that the common factor was water; ergo it was water that caused his problem!
I tried "man   .xserverrc"  and got no such file.
I am definitely ignorant about Linux but think that I can live more peacefully without sarcasm
Hasta la vista baby
