Hey guys,

I have a HP Pavilion laptop, and in order to preserve it's lifespan; I decided to use an external mouse and keyboard whilst at my desk. It worked right away - I was really impressed. I expected to have to recompile the kernel. Anyway, the only thing is that the mouse is oversensitive. I am using Fedora Core 8, and the mouse is USB. I'd really appreciate any help.

Thanks,  
Sarah

Thanks for all your help, but I fixed the problem through the KDE options.
