Here are some more details. It looks like this bug is similar to bugs 108382 and 108621. I cleaned my hard drive and tried again to install Xubuntu Hardy Heron and got as far as needing to click the install icon but the mouse had no control.
AMD K6 III+450Mhz L1 cashe 64k L2 cashe 128k Ram 256Meg chipset intel I430hx File /etc/X11/xorg.conf contains:- Section "Input device" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Option "CorePointer" End Section Comparing with my main machine It seems to be missing Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true" Also the server layout section is missing InputDevice "Configured Mouse" Any developers out there may have some ideas to try on me.
