Actually no. A very few mice don't work as expected - the signal levels are way messed |
| 20 |
up. They work in WinXX because the Manufacturer put workarounds in Microsoft's |
| 21 |
mouse driver so they wouldn't have to spend an extra penny per mouse to make the |
| 22 |
hardware work properly. I ran across this with some generic BenQ OEM mice a |
| 23 |
few years ago. After a few hours of trying various machines and OS releases, I |
| 24 |
told the Engineer to throw them in the trash. And, yes they work fine on WinXX. |

Try getting a decent mouse - borrow one, before declaring the kernel junk. |

FWIW -I run Logitec, Razer. and Elcom (the GE of Japan) USB mice on a variety |
| 29 |
of Gentoo systems - all different with different chipsets, with no problems. |

And have done so from 2.4.24 to the current 2.6.12. |
