Upon install of live CD (ver.0.520) touchpad is unusable. Touching the pad sends the cursor to the bottom of the screen where it is barely visable. �Moving your finger causes the work spaces to change, but unable to do anything else.� Plugging in the mouse and running ihe live CD produces a different situation: �A popup menu appears on moving the mouse with cursor locked in it. � I have tried all combinations of xserver choice and mouse selection with the same result. � Other distributions, including Knoppix, do not have this problem. � The Mouse is an 'Intellimouse 1.2A PS/2 Compatible' with center wheel.

Can you turn off your internal/integrated pointing device in your computer's BIOS setup screen?If so, you may be able to get the Intellimouse working with DSL. Another option would be to go out an buy a cheap USB mouse and choose "USB Mouse = YES" on the DSL setup screen. Good Luck. |
