[plug] Re: Mouse problems: was Knoppix XF86 auto-detection

[Chris Caston]

Also earlier in the evening Kudzu thought the mouse had been detached
(even though it hadn't) and prompted me to remove the entry.

I said no but it still set device detached = 1 in /etc/sysconfig/hwconf

I first tried setting this back to 0 but no luck.

I also tried completely removing the entry and running Kudzu again but
it did not detect it.

I also tried a ps2 mouse. Kudzu detected it but it would not work in
KDE.

thanks,

Chris
