I don't know about Compaqs but on my Sony viao kudzu detects on boot that the usb mouse is not there and asks me if I want to remove it. If I say yes it then prompts me to install the ps2 mouse that it found. I happen to know that is a an alps touchpad so I select it and I am jammin, most of the time. Occasionally the usb stuff freaks and at that point anything accessing the network hangs typically the appcall netstat and it it the process I see hanging. At this point the only thing that will work is a hard power off. When this occurs the restart usually fixes every thing and I can use my touch pad. Back at the office kudzu will see the usb intellimouse and ask if I want to install it and I do so using the intellimouse driver and again most of the time it works occationally the same symptoms I have described above occur with the same hard reboot to fix it. If I had to guess I would say that all touchpads are ps2 mice and the generic ps2 drive would work but that is indeed a guess. Does kudzu recognized the presence or non-presence of the usb mouse on your system?
