This sounds almost as bad as windows xp. Almost every time I plug in a
USB mouse it pops up a "new hardware detected" wizard and encourages me
to configure it.

It's a laptop. I like to plug a usb mouse in. Often. And it's even the
same damn mouse. It doesn't need any fucking configuration it just needs
to move the stupid pointer around like every other mouse on the bloody
planet. *VERY* annoying.

Oddly, about 1 in 10 it doesn't pop the box up and the mouse does just
start working. I can only assume this is a bug.

Odd. I have a fedora laptop. And I like to plug a USB mouse into that as
well. And it's never done anything but work straight away without
needing its hand held.

Software, got to hate it.

Cheers,

Martin.
