worked in the morning, but when I tried to collect e-mail about 4pm it

with init V:
stop X: sudo init 4
start X: sudo init 5

The config files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d are for the X11 server. You
shouldn't need to reboot. Just log out, restart your display manager,
and log back in. E.g.,

separate scroll wheel and used a press on it to emulate the middle mouse
button.
There are very few choices for a trackball with the 'marble' in the center
where it's operated by an index or middle finger and do not hav
