I will try it tonight. I also have gone to the
manual
page for Lucid whatever this new release is to be called, and read the
manual,
ya I know not many do that, and see reference to the xorg.conf file which I
don't have on my system. In that file is something that can be used to turn
the
touch pad off. So I will be investigating that tonight also.

Have I mentioned that I haven't had this much fun since I retired as a Unix
system
and network admin? Ya I know weird I know.
