Thanks. :Switch your mouse to Mouse Systems mode and tell your programs that :you have a Mouse Systems mouse. That should work. :BTW, I still don't know what special tricks the Logitech mouse driver :is doing that don't work with FAS. If anyone found out what's going :on I'd like to hear about it. Having just spent all afternoon Friday trying to get a new Logitech trackball running under Xenix 2.3.3 and VP/IX 1.2 with no luck I read ``Welcome to comp.unix.sysv386'' and what should be the last item? 31. Why doesn't my brand spanking new Logitech mouse work? The answer (from Conor P Cahill uunet!virtech!cpcahil): ``This is caused by the fact that Logitech (in their infinite wisdom) changed from emulating a Mouse Systems mouse to emulating a Microsoft mouse. So if you want to use one of the new mice, configure it as a Microsoft mouse. NOTE: If you are using an older Logitech mouse and sometimes have problems getting ISC's X to communicate with it, reconfigure it as a Mouse Systems mouse and all your problems will go away.'' I haven't tried this yet, but will in the morning when I go back to the client site. I HOPE LIKE HELL IT WORKS!
