This isn't just of value to people who happen to have a mouse that's a bit iffy, who get a bad impression of Ubuntu because the same mouse works fine on Windows (see bug #1). It's possibly also of benefit to those who have difficulty with muscle control, especially the elderly. Maybe this bug

Presumably Ubuntu devs will not be interested in this. It needs reporting by everyone to the Xorg developers to get their attention. How does one do that? Does anyone know WHY they decided to rip out XAA (whatever that is)? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of

Hi Tormod, Thanks for your follow-up, I appreciate it very much. I'd be happy to blow the dust off my HP Brio and try either or both 10.10 or Natty, if you feel it's likely to help others. I've abandoned this PC (indeed I would have dismantled and scrapped it, except that I felt I should hang

Why is this still marked 'incomplete' despite my report in May (#11)? What, if anything, is still needed, to move this forward? No offence intended, but is 'Bryce Harrington' actually a 'bot? All responses from him seem to me as though they may be automatically generated. Am I being suckered

No response from Bryce, so today I attempted installation of this week's build of Debian 'testing'. Had to abandon that, due to a partitioning problem (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=583592), may retry when this is fixed. Instead installed Debian 'stable' (Lenny). No video

Hi Bryce, thanks for reviewing this. Not sure why you've added 'hardy' tag at this time. Is that a request for further info on 8.04? I still have install media back to 6.06, so if you want additional info on 8.04 on this computer I can supply. I also tried Puppy 5 on this machine this week.

I stated previously: I downloaded an iso of Karmic alpha2 and installed this. The symptoms were identical. However, now the change of GdmXserverTimeout=10 isn't needed, though the change of xorg.conf still is. However, without the timeout change it sometimes fails. So it still seems both changes
