AW: Mouse - strange bevaviour

[Grosswiler Roger]

hmmm....still studying about this mouse thing and remembering the
usb-thing (usb-hpci someting on kernel-boot). as i have a compaq proliant
1600 (think this has a smp-board - multiprocessor, but i am running
one...) might it be possible, that my kernel has a problem?? i got the
kernel which ends up with notl.

Cheers,
Roger
