HELP

[Lobster]

boot up from Puppy CD

press ctrl + alt + backspace
type the suggested command to change mouse

type xwin and press return

What sort of mouse are you telling it you have on boot up?

[Cerberus]

all it asked me is whether or not is was a wheel mouse, which i said yes to (its connected to a usb port). But after it loaded it didn't work (the mouse)

[Lobster]

use a ps2 mouse or try and unfathom this:

usbhid.ko is the full hid module.
usbkbd.ko and usbmouse.ko are the simpler usb modules.

you could try unloading usbhid and then try the simpler modules.
"modinfo" also will provide interesting info.

They are located in /lib/modules/2.6/usb/input/.
