| 291343 | 2004-11-13 08:19:00 | Hardware= ECS laptop, OP sys= SuSE9.1 personal edition, I've bought a USB mouse and canno find a way to get the laptop to ignore the inbuilt mouse, and do mousy things with the USB mouse instead. As per usual, i am open to suggestions. Cheers, :-) Chris |

| 291344 | 2004-11-13 08:32:00 | does the usb mouse work while the trackpad is working | ApeNz (4220) | ||
| 291345 | 2004-11-13 08:41:00 | sometimes mice have drivers, did it come with a driver disk? my usb mouse did, drivers for the middle buttons software | Prescott (11) | ||
| 291346 | 2004-11-13 09:00:00 | ApeNZ------ it simply ignores the external mousy, and the trackpad keeps working. | personthingy (1670) | ||
| 291347 | 2004-11-13 09:21:00 | Prescott---- The drivers discs only had things that were possably usefull for a windoze machine. I must admit, i hadn't actually checked that till now! :-( Chris |

| 291349 | 2004-11-13 09:30:00 | linux is a pain for those things - look on the website for the linux dirvers , since its usb try get a ps/2 usb converter and maybe it will pick it up | ApeNz (4220) | ||

| 291352 | 2004-11-13 09:54:00 | ApeNz------The mouse came with a USB/ps2 adapter, but the laptop only has USB ports! :-) |
