In fairness, they are not that much different from a desktop, save that they tend to be impossible to change the hardware on, and seem to prefer poorly documented proprietary hardware.. > I've managed to fix everything except for the mouse.

Are you familiar with the 'Linux on Laptops' site? It's a good general reference, rather than a Debian-specific one. <http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kharker/linux-laptop/> > Does anyone have a Dell Inspiron and, if so, how did you get the mouse > working? You have the mouse configured as a standard PS/2 mouse, I presume?

I don't have the specific hardware you name, though, so I can't say for sure what the issue is. Daniel -- Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one. -- Marcus Aureli
