Arg this is what I hate the most. When something isn't made for linux. Hmm my intellimouse explorer worked fine, yet it can be diff... Well I dunno something about an optical mouse always working in Linux. Well I would think they would have linux drivers on their site, if not email them maybe they can make em. I need to find the right website, need to check some old mags. However there are sites out there of people making it work and putting the scource and directions etc online... What happens? It just doesn't work? Well sometimes when you install linux is asks about devices, you prob don't want to reinstall it. LOL
