Dear sir,

I apologize or I am sorry, but I have mentioned that it does not work.
 I have tried that it does not work.  I have uncommented the section
where it says moused_port="/dev/ums1" and it does not work.  I don't
have mouse functionality.  What good is a gui without a mouse?  and I
don't know any shortcuts to set menu entries in xfce :(

I remember that there was an option for xorg.conf that had an option
like Hidden="False" and that may do it?

Thanks,


Antonio
