I appreciate the response, but that doesn't work here (I am running Woody btw).

UPDATE: Just did a "modprobe usbmouse" and that solved the problem (I did change my type to "ps2"). I thought
modules were automagically added to the running kernel when they were needed? Reckon I've got some more learning
to do . . .   :-)


Thanks for the help!
