Does anyone know how to get the USB Wireless Optical Desktop to work? When I plug it in the keyboard works fine but the mouse does not work. I am using my laptop with a glidepoint mouse configured as well. I get the same message that you guys get at startup about recognizing the MS mouse and keyboard though... but for some reason I can't get X or Gnome to recognize it. Any ideas?

Im having trouble, but maybe ill figure it out. Would on of you be willing to help over AIM?

Krazikid, One solution for choosing if its just 2 OSs, windows and this, is put LILO on floppy and use the windows boot loader on the hard drive. If the disk is in, load linux. Out, load windows.

How does dual-booting help solve the problem?

Do you have 2 references in X, 1 for each pointing device?

You should have if you are using a glidepoint as well.

Could anyone who got the keyboard and mouse to work write an nice little HOWTO with step by step instructions so other owners of this fine BT setup could benefit from your experience and expertise. :idea:

yeah, I do have two listed in X... although its weird cuz even if I comment out my Glidepoint mouse that one will always work... and the USB mouse never works... even though they both have different settings and shouldn't be confused.
