Re: Mepis & Ubuntu on Compaq Armadas

In testing current versions of both Mepis and Ubuntu, I find that both
have this problem on a Compaq Armada 7400:
kernel 2.6.x works fine.
kernel 2.4.x fails to properly handle the "eraser head" pointing
device.
This is surprising since numerous other distributions do handle the
pointing device without problems.
Interesting. Mine worked off the bat with 2.4.x. There are some issues
with it though, as I remember reading something about it on the Mepis
site (either mepis.org or mepislovers.org). My issue started when I
wanted to switch between the "earaser head" on the road and an USB
wireless at home. No easy way. Mepis DOES have a new recently released
iso out there that may address some of these problems, but I have not
had time to take a look at it though.
I've been very happy with mepis overall though, as most things (even a
wireless nic!) "just worked".
