The control program doesn't support mice, regardless of their connection.
I've got a Hurco KMBI with the Ajax/Centroid controller. It runs on Linux. I've got a USB hub up by the keyboard so I don't have to open the cabinet every time I want to use my USB drive to bring in a program. Is there any way to get it to recognize a USB mouse?

The AjaxCNC control supports a PS/2 mouse, but the driver must be installed first. Go out to the Linux prompt (<F10> Shutdown, <F6> System Prompt from the main menu) and type "addmouse". Type "exit" to return to the control software and reboot the system. The mouse must be connected while the system is powered down.
(Note: The opinions expressed in this post are my own and are not necessarily those of CNCzone and its management)
I'll have to see if I can dig up a PS2 mouse and extension.
Thanks!
