This bios, if it went to the same school I did 66 years ago, would never
graduate to 2nd grade. None of that stuff is in it.

That appears to be a dead end:
[root at diablo 2.6.16-1.2133_FC5]# rpm -qa|grep synaptic
[root at diablo 2.6.16-1.2133_FC5]#
[root at diablo 2.6.16-1.2133_FC5]# man synaptics
No manual entry for synaptics

Next? :-)
Should I install it just so I can disable it? Seems counter intuitive,
but what the hey.. I have, but unless it takes a reboot, I can't find
where to start it.
Now there is a man syndaemon! which sort of explains the changes to
xorg.conf, but not very well. I also have one of the M$ little
bluetooth mice plugged into the usb port on the right edge of the
machine. That works rather nicely.
It would appear that livna is out of step with itself:
nable to satisfy dependencies
Package kmod-ndiswrapper needs ndiswrapper-kmod-common = 1.13, this is
not available.
Package kmod-ndiswrapper needs ndiswrapper-kmod-common = 1.13, this is
not available.
Package kmod-ntfs needs ntfs-kmod-common = 2.1.26, this is not available.
Package kmod-ntfs needs ntfs-kmod-common = 2.1.26, this is not available.
Now to restart x and see how bad I screwed it up...
