Re: [PLUG] Odd mouse problem - resolved

[Eric Allan Lucas <eric.allan.lucas@mail.com>]

Yes!  I just finished tinkering with it.  It turns out if
I have a protocol value of "IntelliMouse" it flakes out.
If I use a protocol value of "ExplorerPS/2" it works great!
But the IntelliMouse protocol worked OK for a couple of 
months... go figure.

This is what I ended up with:

Section "InputDevice"
  Driver        "mouse"
  Identifier    "IntelliMouseExplorer"
  Option        "Device"        "/dev/mouse"
  Option        "Protocol"      "ExplorerPS/2"
  Option        "Buttons"       "7"
  Option        "ZAxisMapping"  "4 5"
EndSection

Thanks!

Eric
