[Bug 30224] Re: [Bug 30224] Re:[Bug 30224] Optical mouse

[Rafael de Pelegrini Soares]

Dear Alexandre,

I checked your suggestion of protocol "ExplorerPS/2" and it didn't work 
for me.

Actually our problems are not the same.
I just patched the kernel-source with as suggested by 
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5703
and now it works!

I'll fill another bug with this information.

Cheers

PS. "Try install the DAPPER with the mouse connected" -> this looks like 
a "Windows" tip :)
