if no error then reboot
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.

Hi,
in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 change the ps/2 mouse protocol from imps/2 (or auto) to ps/2 and restart X11.
Ciao Martin
i have this in my /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
then further down i haveSection "ServerLayout"
Identifier "XFree86 Configured"

this alows me to use both touchpad and usb wheel mouse simultaniously. hope it helps you some (it might differ some for you)Section "InputDevice"
