Re: XF86 wants a mouse file
Paul,
Thanks for your response. I will check that, but, unfortunately,
I believe I looked for that file at one time, too, and it's not
there either. Do these files get created by the installation
process and might that have failed to happen? If so, how do
I get back to that process and rectify it? Any help would be
most appreciated.
Mike
