mouse is freezing in redhat 9


Occasionally my mouse will freeze in redhat 9. I'm not sure what is causing it because it seems to happen fairly randomly. It doesn't happen all the time, so I could live with it if it's just an unknown bug, but I was wondering if any of you had heard of this before.

It's a Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer. It's connected to my PS2 port through a USB converter. Any advice?

Thanks, you guys have been a tremendous help to me since I installed Linux.

MICROSOFT MOUSE!! it must burn...!! its not worthy of being connected to a holy linux box.. the god TUX is unhappy.. you must burn the mouse immediately and dance around the fire naked 3 times or else commit sacreliege [sic] ... haha no im messing with you.. dont burn your mouse.. i have no clue what that means but sometimes its something stupid.. like a lose cord?? thats what happened to my speakers and i thoguth they were uncompatible for like 2 months... :-p maybe it keeps getting knocked lose... i remember whenever id type or tap the desk itd get lose or go back in well good luck with that creappy mouse of yours! jk logitech is owned by MS too [ i think ] and theyre one of the good mousemakers so i guess ... M $ mouses aint that bad
