Mouse pointer compatible?

[Rob Mayoff]

| Hey all, what type of mouse is the eraser pointer on my Thinkpad 760ED?  All 
| the configuration files I've seen say PS/2.  Does this mean I need an 
| external mouse?  XFree86 (the newest with SuSE 6.1) keeps crashing on me 
| about the mouse.  Help, please!

What, if any, is the exact output from XFree86?  What is in your
XF86Config?

On the 770 series it's a 3-button PS/2 mouse. I think the 760 series has
a 2-button mouse but it's probably still a PS/2 interface. However, I
think the BIOS, on the 770 at least, does some magic to present it as a
PS/2 mouse to the OS. Maybe the 760 series does the same. So have you
made sure you've got the latest BIOS?

It might also be useful for you to plug in an external mouse and see if
that makes X run correctly.
