You are right I don't have any mouse use when I am in normal test mode. I see no white block or anything when I move my mouse. So, I tried to run gmpconfig as root and it wasn't there. I searched in dselect but it wasn't listed. I found it listed under the directory, under "Console utilities." I ran dpkg --status gmp and got the following: Status: purge ok not-installed Priority: optional Section: oldlibs
I tried to find oldlibs but don't know where it is or how to get there. I have the Official 2.0 disks. Can anyone help me configure my mouse?
