i have a microsoft trackerball expolrer. (due to lack of desk space).
Anyway i just got quake working on ubuntu, but theres no mouse.
I read the docs and tried poining it to the dev entry. i looked in the
device manager tool, (in ther computer->Sys config menu) and it says
/dev/input/mouse1 fair enuff but that doesnty appear to work, and when
it does i seem to randomly run in circles constatly firing (not my
fault)

I've come to the conclusion that i need to edit my libvga.config to
pick up the mouse correctly??? as quake is using libvga to work

 If this is true would anyone know how i could do this considering
that its connected via usb, I could just plug it into the 'usb 2 ps2'
adapter and use it as a ps2 mouse, but i dont want unless i have to.

Theres no place like ::1

Thanks,
