Hi Folks,
I have an odd one here. My CD burner died and I had it replaced
with a (second hand) DVD burner.

Then my mouse stopped responding (in X), either in DOS or any
of the 4 Linux distros I have on this machine.

I got it running in DOS by loading the Microsoft driver instead
of cutemouse, but it does not respond to movement in X on any of the
Linux installations.

As a test, I loaded and ran a "live" cd of Knoppix, and it ran
the mouse without any complaint.

So.... the mouse is OK and connected properly.

My guess is that it has something to do with the interrupt that
may have been disturbed by the new DVD.

Question: How do I go about re-setting the mouse in BL2 and BL3.5 ?

Regards,
Ron
