when booting from cd i use the 'nowheel' cheatcode at boot prompt in order for my laptop's touchpad and ps/2 mouse to work. now that i've installed knoppix on my hd, how do i make my touchpad and mouse work the way it used to when booting from cd? i've tried adding nowheel after the Linux bootprompt but it doesn't work.
anybody care to help me on this?
i'm using compaq armada 1750.
thanks.

edit /etc/lilo.conf
add in
append= "... nowheel"
run
lilo -v
if no error then reboot

already did this but it still doesn't work. i also added pci=irqmask=0x0e98 but still no luck. :(
Hi,
in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 change the ps/2 mouse protocol from imps/2 (or auto) to ps/2 and restart X11.

i have this in my /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "XFree86 Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Mouse1" "AlwaysCore"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
then further down i have
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
this alows me to use both touchpad and usb wheel mouse simultaniously. hope it helps you some (it might differ some for you)
