Especially for newer mice, such as MS Intellimouse Explorer (the one with no ball[s])

hmm, just saw "And finally, new for 0.3.8 is USB mouse support."

eh, it doesn't seem to work for my mouse - unless there are extra steps you need to take

It doesn't work on all mice. I've got it to work with an older MS Intellimouse, but support isn't universal.

Hi

I have the Logitech TrackMan Marble and it doesnt work.
Hope you get this stuff working, DSL is quite cool

And, i just say it here, can you add Support for PPPoe ? (Needet for German aDSL).

PPPoE is already working, it is in the sub-menu DSL/PPPoE under System.

is it the five button optical intellimouse?
or is it the white one with only 3 buttons?

i have the five button mouse, and it works.

I had a problem with my usb mouse as well. I have version 0.4.50 .... yet to download the latest version and see if the usb mouse works. But I'm happy with the console :;):

Have to say that I love this distro ... simply very neat. A job well done, John.
