Is that possible to make it recognizable by the OS? 2) I have a Genius plug-n-play mouse, and I'm having problems running X-Window, the system ask for a mouse device to work. I configured as a serial mouse, but still doesn't work... Well, I will appreciate any kind of help. Thanks, Eduardo Rosa Kras Borges kras@nutecnet.com.br
