Perhaps I should e-mail Logitech to see what they say about it
all.

That would be best. See if they have the drivers for your OS


I've never had to have drivers to change mice/trackballs on my
unix boxen. Just plug it in, and it is recognized and used, including
the current wired LogiTech TrackMan. I would just like to not have the
long tail going to the computer from a rotating Lay-Z-Boy, which has the
trackball Velcroed to the arm. It unplugs the USB cable at a mid-cable
junction. :-)


Must be rough, poor boy.


And *nobody* makes drivers for Solaris 10 these days. Oracle is
really killing the OS and the hardware with their more restrictive
licensing.


So scream loudly and repeatedly at Oracle for drivers, mentioning the
reason for the dearth of drivers. If nothing else, it'll make you
feel better, knowing that you're a burr under their corporate saddle.
