[ltp] T40P docking problem

[James McKenzie]

Peter:

What is the output of dmeg after you disconnect and reconnect the USB 
mouse on the port replicator?  It should show the device is recognized 
as a pointing device, but what may happen is that Linux may not have a 
driver for the device which means that you have to find the appropriate 
module to add to your system (or kernel if you want kernel support for 
the device.)
