Hey group.

I have a strange problem. when i turned on my computer and started KDE or
gnome etc. My mouse is not working correctly. The pointer only moves up
and down and if i leftclick it moves a bit to the right until its of the
screen.
a few minutes ago the mouse worked perfect on win98se.

Newby as i am, i formatted the lunix partition and did a complete
installation like i already did 10 times before.
Again the mouse failed withe the same problem.

I already noticed that i run mouseconfig i have another screen than on the
other (working) PC. it lets you choose between serial ps usb logitec MS etc.

On the bad computer is give me the choise of installing gpm (copy paste tool
with the mouse) on startup or not.

The mouse is a Ms usb wireless intellimouse. (fancy

and worked a few
weeks ago on the same machine withe the same slackware.

please TM

More specifically (linked from the relevant question here:

'Setting up a USB mouse in Slackware'

To the OP:
I as well have a Wireless Intellimouse Explorer, and it works perfectly in
slack 9. It originally did the same as you described, but with a bit of
tweaking, it, again, works perfectly.
