[wellylug] Optical mouse for Linux

[Chris Hodgetts]

I am running Debian, and have never experecned a problem with any mouse I
have tried.

I brought a M$ Oprical Wheel Mouse, the chepie at like $60 or whatever it
was, and it worked fine in both the PS/2 and USB options.  -- In fact
could even unplug one and then plug it into the other and it worked
brillently.

Gave the M$ one to my partner, and borrowed a Dell , generic , optical
mouse from Work, and it also works great.

I know I have a friend who has purchased a lot of stuff latley from DHSE,
and it's all craped out on him within a few days, even hours...  They seem
to get getting some crap latley..  Personally I dont shop there -

Take the mouse back and ask for another one, and see how that goes..
