[Rwanda-learningteam] fixing a BAD mouse

[Julia Reynolds]

Hello All,

Reuben just shared with me some commands to use when the mouse is not
working. It has been tried in Nigeria and is working, but you do have
to press down very hard on the mouse after this fix, so I think it is
best for most extreme cases:

Changing mode from the “terminal” activity
(1) to enable:
su –l
echo 'options psmouse ptmode=1' > /etc/modprobe.d/ptmode.conf
and reboot the XO
The drawing pad requires a little bit of pressure. You can use the
back of a pen, but PLEASE do not write on the pad.
(2) to disable:
su –l
rm /etc/modprobe.d/ptmode.conf
and reboot the XO
