Laptop / Mouse


I just installed Breezy on my Compaq Presario laptop and have been having problems with the ps/2 mouse I am using. Its a 3 button MS coreless wheel mouse.

The computer has a synaptic touch pad which I never want to use, as I hate the damn thing.

How can I get this mouse to work?

I had installed Red Hat on my Compaq Presario 3070 a year or two ago and had the same problem. I think once I upgraded to Fedora it was configured automatically, if that helps
