Kensington 4button "Expert Mouse" trackball 4064

I was encouraged by Mike's suggestion: all I had to do was to modify the xorg.conf file in a specified way. But this has proven to be more complicated.

I haven't been able to find this file or the directory in which it resides. "bash: locate: Command not known". I interpret this as meaning that bash is indeed installed (which I remember doing), and it is telling me that it doesn't know what to do with what would seem a very basic command.

Someone has told me that I have first to run another command, updatedb, and I must do this as root. I have switched by now many times before from my home directory to root, always without difficulty. Now, however, root comes up as a FullScreen display of YaST -- no buttons in the righthand corner of the breastlebar, so I can't dismiss it in order to find a terminal without ending the root session and switching back to my user session. I have no idea why this Catch-22 behavior has changed. The root sesion also has forgotten the left-handed mouse configuration that I made for it several days ago. Things in the root session are not as they were. How can I avoid the FullScreen YaST display?

I am waiting these days for arrival of a SUSE v9.3 disk, so if any of the above sub-problems are the result of bugs in v9.1, they will soon be fixed. But I would like to be sure that they are indeed because of bugs in v9.1. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel
