Sorry, i can not find where I have the option to "SAVE" these changes, or to answer "YES." There is no "SAVE" in Nano.
I found out that I needed to save these changes with Control O. I then when to a new Terminal and update GRUB.
Thanks, it works like a Champ! What a great machine! I really appreciate your efforts!

NEW INFORMATION AND A ONE LINER
OPEN A TERMINAL
CUT AND PASTE THIS:
sudo echo "options psmouse proto=bare" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf >/dev/null
REBOOT
Tested on Manjaro so far. The point is to create a psmouse.conf file with the quoted option. I found this in a post from 2012.
This is working on CF-31JE. Not as sensitve as the previous patch as it becomes a basic PS/2 mouse rather than a IMPS/2 wheel mouse. No edge scrool yet. Checking my settings.
Brand new to me, still testing.
Alternatives can be confusing BUT replacing "bare" with "imps" brings back edge scroll. Thus:
sudo echo "options psmouse proto=imps" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf >/dev/null
EDIT: For now if you have edited grub there is no sense changing. Plus I have to see if it breaks other models.
J'd...using imps for now....

QUICK SOLUTION INTERLINK VERSAPAD CF-31MK2
[code]sudo echo "options psmouse proto=imps" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf >/dev/null[/code]
RE-BOOT
Same caddy drops into CF-30MK3 with no issues. Runs like a standard PS/2 mouse. Linux figures it out. (writes the kernel)
The End.

Soooo, change this file back:
Code: Select all
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_i8042.notimeout i8042.nomux QUIET=true
and then add this in:
Code: Select all
sudo echo "options psmouse proto=imps" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf >/dev/null
Control O to save the modified GRUB and reboot?

I answered this earlier today. Forgot to send.
delete the i8042 entries, ctrl O to save, sudo update-grub or leave them in there if the machine is working.
Cut and paste the following to a TERMINAL line. It will save itself.
Code: Select all
sudo echo "options psmouse proto=imps" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf >/dev/null

Damn, now the terminal will not accept my password. Yes, I am sure that it is correct. No, I do not have on Caps Lock.

That is one of my issues with Linux..It is password happy. It "feels" like I need a password for every keystroke.

LoL, I can live with that, it will just no longer accept my password, so I can not make changes with SUDO. My password still allows me to log in and make updates. I have seen where others have had this problem as well with SUDO and the terminal, but the first fix I tried, that is to bring up terminal by an alternative method, did not work.
