- Per,
-
- I noticed the same problem when Iran my 5000/25 on 4.3.. I found that if I
- waited a few minutes, it started recognizing the mouse. It was acting like
- some mouse daemon had to get warmed up before the mouse would work.
- I then upgraded from 4.3 to 4.2 because of the reboot on modem line hangup
- feature added to 4.3.
-
- I am beginning to wonder if Sun wrote 4.3 to run DEC out of business!
