Here's an interesting one that's got me stumped..  I'm using a standard
Microsoft (serial) mouse which works fine in the console with gpm and
under all things microsoft.  Unfortunately when running under X the
right mouse button simply refuses to do anything.  xmseconfig has been
tested with different options (emulate3button etc) yet the picture of a
mouse never shows a 'right click'.  With emulate3buttons turned on it
will do a middle button when the left and right are clicked - so X is at
least receiving a click from it.  ATM i'm running SuSE 5.3 and I'm
pretty sure I didn't have this problem when running Slackware a year or
so ago.  Also, X will no longer run if gpm is running (also worked under
slackware).  I've tried a few of the gpm options but nothing seems to
have fixed that one.

At least my mouse isn't buzzing :)  The line in from the modem gives
enough of that..
