IBM x31 "mouse"

I have had SuSE 11.0 Gnome on my x31 for ~6months… it has been really nice!
I recently started getting an error, so I downloaded 11.1 and installed it.

my keyboard “eraser mouse” no longer works.

I’ve looked at the “mouse control panel” and it has no settings that work.

ANY IDEAS ?

why would it work in 11.0 and not in 11.1… yea yea Iknow… but why ?

Am using 11.1 with KDe 4.1 on my IBM X31 and the eraser mouse is working fine, are you using KDE ?
