First off, Lizard can't see my usb mouse and XFree86 doesn't seem to support them...so I put in a serial mouse...well I got it working in DOS but Linux can't seem to find it. Besides the mouse I'm ripping and a raring to go into KDE but I CAN'T because I'm frickin stuck. Any solutions?!? (Besides get a new motherboard which I'm thinking may be the only answer)
