I read here
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ht=laser+mouse
that somebody had there laser mouse detected on a new install. Was that the logitech 1000 and the reason I ask is that I tried to configure it under yast and couldnt find that particular mouse. I have got it sort of working by manually editing the correct files in the past but it was kind of a pain in the ass especially restarting X all the time. If all the buttons are working correctly on your laser mouse perhaps you could check which profile you are using in Yast--->hardware--->mouse and let me know.
By the way I use a program called Synergy
http://synergy2.sourceforge.net with a 2 monitor three system set up. The program seemlessly allows the use of one keyboard and mouse for two systems each with its own monitor. With two monitors on your desktop you can simply move the mouse pointer to the edge of your monitor and it will jump over to the next monitor and system. I simply Krdc to the 3rd system and keep it on its own desktop and use the pager when I need to work in the 3rd system.
Anywhooo I want to go back to using my linux box as the server in Synergy but this requires the correct configuration of the buttons ie I want that thumb button working for "back" on my browser.
