dexter and USB mouse

[Kimball Thurston <kimball@sgrail.com>]

As an FYI, or if anyone is keeping a FAQ,

   I upgraded to 4.0.1 packages in woody this morning and have had
quite a few problems, but the one I thought I'd ask about is with my
USB mouse (an Intellimouse Explorer). If I choose USB mouse, when I
start X, it gives an unknown protocol error - I had this same problem
with my own compile of XF86 4.0, and could never figure it out... If I
use "ImPS/2", things work just fine...

    I also had to switch back to the built-in Nvidia driver - the one
from Nvidia starts up, but has all kinds of video corruption on my
GeForce card. I think this may be a function of running the 2.4
kernel, although again, I'm not sure...

Thanks for all the hard work turning XF86 4.0 into deb packages. The
upgrade went far more smoothly than I expected, since I had my own
compile of XF86 4.0 stuffed on top of a previous 3.3.6 debian
install...

later,
Kimball
