I experienced some problems with ISC X11R3 and a Logitech mouse, too, not even using the FAS package. While using the Logimouse definition, the X-server might loose the connection with the mouse, printing some obfuscated error message. This would happen especially, when I switched over to some other virtual terminal for a second or two. Morale of the story: If you have a Logitech serial mouse, don't use the Logitech definition, use the Mouse Systems Mouse definition instead. You will get a reduced report rate (1200 vs. 2400 Baud), but that hardly matters. Mixing X-Windows on one virtual terminal with VPIX on another using the Logitech mouse driver for DOS, however, will get the mouse mightily confused (use the 'pc' option for the Logitech DOS driver under VPIX). (This was on ISC 2.0.2 and X11 r1.1) tom ---- Thomas M. Hoberg tmh@prosun.first.gmd.de GMD Berlin, Hardenbergplatz 2, 1000 Berlin 12, Germany +49-30-254 99-160
