The people for which it does good don't complain. I didn't reboot my pc yet, so I'm still running a 2.4.20 without any problem with my mouse. but when I will boot on the 2.5.70, what I should do to find where does the bug come from. I'm little but new here, so I never try to locate a bug in a kernel... thanks for your advice Yoann -- Jugglers, like programmers, handle objects which, at first sight, seem complex and difficult to control. Some of them, with time and patience, manage to control one or the other or both at the same time, and thus become aware of what they are doing.
