I'll give it a shot. I just noticed something though. When I swithed
to my Linux box, I didn't immediately grab the mouse and start
clicking. I let it sit for about 5 seconds and then tried to use it.
It seems to be working okay right now, and that's after nearly 18
hours of not being used. Maybe I just need a little patience.
I'll continue my experiment, but if it seems like the rodent is going
to get out of hand again, I'll give gpm a go.
Thanks again!
