Usb optical mouse problems

Comment:
Hello, I just installed BeOS 5 personal, but when I boot into it my mouse doesn't work. I get a pointer, I just cannot move it. I have a Kensington usb Optical Mouse in a box, connected to a dell Pentium II board. Any ideas, or advice on how to navigate BeOS with just a keyboard? Thanks, M

PS-I know I could just get a USB to PS/2 converer, but that's just way too easy. BeOS 5 supports USB mice, right?

You may need to update BeOS before your mouse will work. I had the same problem with my Logitech USB optical.

How exactly is this done? Is there a web site that supplies mouse drivers or system updates? Perhaps more importantly, is it even possible to find and install them without a mouse?

use the tab key to navigate and the spacebar to select. It can be done w/o a mouse... are you a man or are you a mous.... never mind. Good luck!
