I don't get this part...
Authored by: mxwve on Dec 11, '02 11:04:47AM
"A little more reading on the Apple forums provided a suggestion to remove the Microsoft mouse and use the original one button Apple mouse."

So, does that mean getting rid of my Intellimouse Optical? I have both the m$ mouse and the Apple Pro Mouse connected to the USB ports of my keyboard, and I've only experienced one kernel panic after optimizing the drive, after having played many hours of RTCW with the m$ mouse.

I've been checking Apple's forums but haven't found any information on this, maybe I haven't searched enough.

Disable MS Mouse Preferences
Authored by: Spencerian on Dec 11, '02 12:45:55PM
Maybe another clarification would help: Jedi Knight II and Castle Wolfenstein have their own mouse-button mapping system. This system conflicts with the IntelliMouse system preference software (Microsoft Mouse) for Mac OS X. This may cause weird behavior in your games, from the inability to map mouse buttons, game features activating all by themselves, to kernel panics. To resolve this, first try excluding the application from using the driver. To do this, open the Microsoft Mouse system preference. Click the Add button in the pane, just below the Global Settings pop up menu. In the dialog box that appears, choose the application you want to exclude and click the Choose button. Finally, check the box "Disable IntelliPoint features for the application selected to the left." If this doesn't help, be sure you have the latest Microsoft Mouse driver. Currently, this is version 3.1.0, available from Microsoft's Mouse web site.

thats how it works:
Authored by: hcii on Dec 11, '02 11:11:07AM

type this in terminal: "mkdir x; mkdir x/x; mv x/x ."
you are trying to repace a folder with its contents; the finder will gie youan error message stating this.

this is a known bug in 10.2.2 and will be fixed in 10.2.3.
other unix systems like linux say:
"mv: cannot overwrite directory `./x'"

Server Panic
Authored by: shurakai on Dec 11, '02 02:36:34PM

I had got this screen in Server as well, but I don't use a Microsoft Mouse, or play games in Server... iTunes, Terminal, and the Workgroup manager were open, but I wasn't doing anything particularly worrisome.

Peace,
Kai
