Hi,
I just found by looking around that yabootconfig, the script used by the
yaboot package (very important distinction) to generate /etc/yaboot.conf

Hi Benjamin,
First, let me apologize for the confusing non-specificity of my bug
reports to you and everyone else who is following this (and related)
bug(s). The only excuse I can offer is that at the time I was
submitting them, I wasn't sure what was causing the symptoms I was
seeing.
These bugs have become extinct in the normal course of evolution.
They can be closed.

The machine in question is at my workplace. I'll try a full-up
squeeze/kde install into a spare partition when I get a chance.
Hopefully sometime this week if the (NorthEast USA) weather co-operates.

For what it's worth, the mouse and the kensingon trackball both work
