[ltp] Mandrake 8.0 works (why?)

[M. Leo Cooper]

I just did my second install of Mandrake 8.0 on a TP 760XL (have a couple
of spare HDs to play around with). Both times, the stock kernel works
fine with the PS/2 erasor-head mouse (didn't need to rebuild it). Either
Mandrake hurriedly patched the kernel to work or I did something wrong
and my mistake cancelled out Mandrake's.*

XF86 4.0.3 still doesn't work with the Trident TGUI 9660 chipset, so I
had to revert back to 3.3.6, which is fine. Hopefully, they'll get the
Trident driver right sometime in the 4.X series.
