But I *do* doubt it:)
You see, unplugging the mouse and then replugging it resets the mouse,
restarting gpm redoes the initialisation, so what else could be necessery?
Ofcourse I could be overlooking something. I've read that thread you
refered to, but I don't remember having seen that the really did the above,
i.e. unplug the mouse, reconnect the mouse, restart gpm. If they did, and
the mouse still refused to work, please tell me and I admit you're right.
