[debian-knoppix] keyboard/mouse combination



Does USB wireless keyboard/mouse combination work with Knoppix Debian
install?  What do you call the keyboard in XFConfig in order to make it
happen?


Thanks,

With this, about 40% of all mice in use will immediately stop working.

lpr works fine with cups.

Every program on Knoppix uses cups, because the cupsys-client-bsd tools
are installed.

Can I send all user complaints to you? Especially, the cursor key
problems will be a killer.
