Mous Problems


I'm using an old MS Intellimouse Explorer in the console (runlevel 3) with the PS/2 mouse driver. It's connected via a USB-to-PS/2 adapter, and has never had a single problem in any operating system. It can only move from left to right with this configuration, though. Did I choose the wrong driver? If so, where and what should I change?
