You know how hard it is to navigate kde without a mouse? Ridiculous, it is. Anyway, I did plug the mouse directory into the computer and it is still quite jerky.

Well, I grep'd ps and there is only 1 entry for the mouse - moused -3 -p /dev
I then killed that process and of course lost the mouse cursor. You know how
hard it is to navigate kde without a mouse? Ridiculous, it is.
Anyway, I did plug the mouse directory into the computer and it is still quite
jerky. Doesn't matter which wm I use.
