Re: mouse broken in wordperfect (fedora)

Thanks, that was helpful.  I tracked the problem down to a change in 
Fedora, /dev/psaux doesn't connect to anything anymore even though the 
file is still there, and neither does /dev/mouse.  You have to use 
$_mouse_dev = "/dev/input/mice" instead.  Now it works.
