Re: CD Rom unreachable.. dev is not in /dev dir

Josh,

I did not have it onstalled on my orrig. G4 box so I whent ahead and installed the package.  The cd drive works fine but I don't have any mouse control in X.  I played with different settings but I still can't get it to work in X... I switch between these dif. settings and each each one have their own issues.  The only one which makes X work but when it does the mouse does not work.  That one is the mouse[1] setting the other settings X does not wrok.
