Not a troll. I’ve been on FR for years. I honestly want to make this work (Linux). I was just commenting on posts I’ve seen on other boards. FYI, I’m having trouble with both wired AND wireless mice. So far, they’ve been the only problem I’ve had with Linux Mint. Everything else seems to work fine.

Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu (I believe), which itself is based on Debian.

All of my experience (with one exception) has been with Red Hat and Fedora, which are markedly different than that branch. I've never seen an issue with mice. Can you give me more details, errors you are seeing, related entries in /var/log/messages when you plug them in? I may be able to assist, but I cannot guarantee it.

Lol, he wasn’t calling you a troll.. he was referencing the post you had read about changing the kernels. ;)

Which Mint are you using, and have you tried a different brand (mouse)?
I am on android ATM, and have no PC to test, for the time being... would help more if I could :/
