sorry i should have been more descriptive.

It is a built in controller. its not exaclty a mouse its like a little stick in the middle of the keyboard
I dont know what t call it.

Ill have another go at copying it from the live cd config over to the HD tomorrow.
im using 3.3 by the way as its setup for my wlan card for kismet and i cant boot from
a CD on this laptop.

thanks for the help.
