HI Monique-
Shoulda provided the complete story... Sorry about that. Here is the one
I am using with great success,
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00006IRR8/qid=1115063987/sr=8-1/ref=pd_csp_1/102-5805472-9820964?v=glance&s=electronics&n=507846
Just to restate... This one works very well with two different MS mouse
types I have tried including the MS Trackball Explorer and the MS Cordless
Optical Mouse. I switch between two systems all the time and never lose
the cursor or have any problems with X. I don't have to restart any
services. I don't run GPM here at all on my debian box.
