   Bad mouse response   
   15 Aug 24 16:12:18   
   
   From: NoEMail@home.org   
      
   The machine I use most runs Slack-15 in console mode. Recently I   
   have noticed that my Logitech wireless mouse changed from being   
   responsive, to a halting response. First I thought the mouse, which   
   was pretty old, was at fault. I bought a new mouse with the same   
   behavior. Then I thought something must have changed in my operating   
   M2 partition so I booted into a backup partition: same mouse behavior.   
   Then I booted into a Live Slack 15 USB stick which hadn't been   
   modified for months now: same mouse behavior. Then I tried a wired   
   Microsoft mouse and it works perfectly.   
      
   I have, in my /etc/rc.d/rc.gpm:   
    /usr/sbin/gpm -m /dev/mouse -t imps2   
      
   Now I wonder whether it might be productive to change from imps2   
   to some other mouse, and if so what I might check first?   
      
   Thanks for any ideas.
