Thanks for this - I had put the problem aside. The F10 key, which is supposed to bring up the bios during boot, doesn't work. According to some stuff on the Compaq (now HP) site, that is because I don't have the setup program installed. Of course, since I wiped everything to put on Linux. Both the external mouse and the touchpad move the pointer. I have commented out the section in XF86config for the second mouse, but both devices still work. any other ideas gratefully received. > -- ------------------------------------------------------ Alan L Tyree [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.law.usyd.edu.au/~alant Tel: +61 2 4782 2670 Mobile: +61 419 638 170 Fax: +61 2 4782 7092 -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
