I'm going to fire up my IBM A31p laptop at home tonight, and test both of 'em too. I'll post back . . richy

Hi richyrich and cmb3366, sorry you've had difficulties getting this to work, I have added to the instructions to try and make it clearer. However it sounds like you have now got things to work. Make sure you have completely removed libgpds0 from the repo version as this conflicts with the new version and stops it from running.
[Edit] your original post and add [SOLVED] once your question is resolved.

I finally got the older version to work, so I'm scrolling with ease again, and I havent had to mess with anything between boots. More than likely, I botched something in my attempted installs of the modded version.remoulder wrote:Hi richyrich and cmb3366, sorry you've had difficulties getting this to work, I have added to the instructions to try and make it clearer.

None the less, I got the functionality I desired, and learned a little more about Linux mint in the process. Thanks a ton to everybody involved, I appreciate the time and effort.
