USB mouse trouble

howdy i just got this new laptop and now i want to connect a USB mouse (MX518)

when i plugg in or unplugg the usb mouse everything freezes..
the thouchpad works but i configurated so the usbmouse should work ://

Code:

---

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option            "Protocol" "ImPS/s"
        Option            "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
EndSection

---

(if its plugged in when i boot the computer i get same result)

please help :P

1) What distro are you running?

2) Have you tried a ps2 mouse on it?

I am having a similar problem on Slack 10.2. Only in my case I just can't get slack to realize that there is a mouse connected (both USB and PS2).

thnx

Code:

---

Option      "Protocol" "ImPS/s"
