[NCLUG] RE: Laptop Mouse

[Rich Young]

Brian -- 
	I have a slightly older omnibook (800?) running KRUD 6.0.  I had
problems getting it to install properly until I went into expert mode and
specified that it was a PS-2 mouse.  (Prior to that, the install would hang
at the mouse autodetect.)
	As has often been the case, I found it easy enough to reinstall
until I got it right -- I hadn't started using it for anything yet.  I don't
know if this is helpful at all....
	If you would find any mouse config stuff from my laptop useful for
reference, jes' say so.
