Well, I last took German in college 50 years ago so I can guarantee your
english is better than my german.  What the line in menu.lst says is:

# defoptions=quiet splash

I don't know Ubuntu internals, but I think that means on an installed
system the default options on the kernel command will be: quiet splash.
After the fix, the line looks like

# defoptions=quiet splash i8042,nomux=1

Then "sudo update-grub" is run so that grub will read the line and use
those new defaults.

So I as a test I just booted CD Live Feisty 7.04 on the R31, pushed F6
which prints the boot options line on the screen ending with: quiet
splash so I added : i8042,nomux=1  on the same line just after quiet
splash.  The line on the screen after pushing F6 now reads:

Boot Options :casper initrd=/casper/initrd.gz quiet splash i8042,nomux=1

I haven't run very long however the trackpoint mouse seems to be O.K.

I don't know wingrub; is there anywhere the default options quiet splash
appear that you can add i8042,nomux=1 to the boot options line, either
in the code or as a manual F6?

Cheers, Jerry
