Thanks.  I found the -d option (with a bit of poking with db - I
saw the debug messages, so I guessed there must be a way to turn
them on), but I didn't find -C.  I found that Logitech mice worked
so long as you didn't even look at the beast while it was being
prodded by aux/mouse.  Does aux/mouse do Mousesystems/Genius mice?
I'd thought they were the same as Logitech, but perhaps not (I'll
try -C on mine and see what happens).

Once I got that going, a great deal of time just disappeared...
It's very exciting being faced with a new system where
you're not completely lost, but the territory isn't familiar.

I'll check it out.

Thanks again,
