[mythtv-users] Gyration Ultra Professional Optical Suite

[Dr. Doug L. Hoffman]

Thanks for your advice, I just received my keyboard and mouse and they
look like quality goods. The keyboard is working fine but I'm having a
bit of trouble with the mouse. It seems to only show up as a hid, not a
mouse, in the usb devices section of proc. I'm running debian unstable
with a 2.4.20 kernel. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Regards,
Doug
