What gets me is this, I even did a fresh install on another hard drive, |
97 |
it don't work there either. hal and friends were included from the very |
98 |
start of the install too. Either I am missing something that is not in |
99 |
the guide or it just don't like my hardware. My mouse is a old P/S2 |
100 |
type mouse. It's not even as complicated as a USB thingy. |
