I wish this would work with Linux Mint…I had to download Ubuntu 8.0.4 and downgrade in order to take advantage of your excellent work compiling the package. Ubuntu Hardy Heron has ugly graphic interface but the package doesn’t work on Mint or Ubuntu 9.0.4…oh well we cannot have everything. I’m not a Linux Guru and sometimes I have a hard time configuring things. I tried Windows Vista, XP, and 7 and Ubuntu is by far faster and better. One of the stupid things with Vista is that we cannot watch a movie because of poor graphic card. On Ubuntu VLC works like a charm

Is there an solution regarding the UsbMouse ?
I got wifi en screen rotation working, without any problems.
I found no update regarding this bug, but the script is really great !!!
Good job ! ( got Ubuntu 8.4 with kernel 2.6.24-16 because i couldn’t get it to work with 8.10 and 8.4.3

Thank you in advance,

Sander
