Thanks for the tips. I'm sorry to have to tell you that it didn't work :'( I'm just wondering if there are some other linuxquakers out there using the same setup as I am that get this to work? Since the mouse is quite popular I hope that somewhere there is someone with that vital piece of info. ;P~ I'll give you a snip from the libvga.config-file: mouse microsoft #mouse gpm mdev /dev/gpmdata I start quake with -mdev /dev/gpmdata but it doen't work anyway. This tip that I got about 'mouse_override' doesn't get me anywhere since i don't know what mouse_override does or what syntax I should use.
