Summary: Menus on some XFree app.s dont work
Keywords: XFree Mouse 2.0.5

Howdy all,

Got a few probs with the new installation of 2.0.5-R. 

The first and most annoying is that I cant get the menus on some of the 
X applications to work properly. (2.0.5-R bin dist of XFree86) I can get 
the menus to pop down, but I cant select any of the items on them. Other 
than this XFree and the mouse seem to work fine. ie. Netscape works, but 
xman, and xpaint dont.  I have tried using a microsoft mouse, and a 
couple of Mouse Systems mice - I can get all of them to work fine exept 
for this problem. I have also tried using the mouse on /dev/cuaa0 and 
/dev/ttyd0  (I couldnt find or make the tty00 mentioned in the XFree 
configuation script in sysinstall) - still the same thing.

Any ideas ??
