Hello Friends;
I was introduced to linux, as many of you, by way of a live CD of Knoppix. A couple years ago I was given a Cd in a copy place by a friendly enough gentleman who suggested that I try it out. I finally tried a couple years later and I love it. This was a live version of Knoppix 3.7
I have since tried ubuntu, Kubuntu, Vector Linux, Damn Small Linux, etc.
I have been using all of these on my Dell Latidtude Laptop.
Only Damn Small Linux and Knoppix 3.7 load my optical mouse. I am un-able to use even a roller ball mouse while using Knoppix 4.0.2
This is true even on my Desktop computer.
I find this puzzling because I should expect things to get better not worse with subsequent distros.
I am stuck using the older version of Knoppix 3.7 for now until a version of Knoppix comes out that remembers what they were doing right with 3.7
Is there hope?
