Thanks. I'd actually just found another way, and was coming to update my post.gposil wrote:Just hit F12 for menu and use keystokes from there...
Another way is to enable "mouse keys" on the numeric pad by means of Shift+Numlock, and move the cursor by means of the arrow keys, with the central key "5" acting as the right click button.
My mouse loss turns out to have been due to choice of a non-existent serial port for the mouse. Puppy offers four ports, although my MB only seems to have one.
The mouse does work on the serial port, once the correct one is selected, and it is possible to change back to the other options.
But once the serial (RS232) mouse is selected, both PS/2 and usb mouse are disabled.
Whereas, when USB/PS2 is selected, both can types can be on simultaneously and used interchangeably.
