Sounds like a dodgy mouse: any chance you can try it elsewhere?
Can you, from a command prompt, try /sbin/lsusb (you don't have to be
root)?
Can you, from a *root* command prompt, run
tail -f /var/log/messages
and plug the mouse in?
Hope this helps,
This is not a hardware problem! The mouse works fine using any kernel that is not 2.6.14* it also works fine with XP.
I tried /sbin/lsusb with kernel 2.6.14-1.1656_FC4 it locked up the terminal window I got no responce from tail -f /var/log/messages when I pluged in the mouse.
