Thanks for the tips Alan & John. I put "modprobe ppa" at the end of my
rc.local file and guess what? It works! Just like you guys said it
would.
Now, does anyone know how to get "imwheel" to invoke during bootup? I
tried putting that in the rc.local file and it didn't work. I use an MS
IntelliMouse, I like the scroll wheel function and I need "imwheel" to
make that work. Anybody got any ideas?
Thanks,
A newbie
