I tried this also, but I'm not sure my changes had any effect. I logged
into the PXES console, and edited /tmp/XF86Config4.new (or similar). But
the "mouse poos" persisted.

Thanks. Unfortunately these units arent mine, but I am a reseller and
systems integrator.

WYSE have eval units of most of their models. If you can find a local
distributor (I notice your in nz) they might loan you one. Failing that
you might be able to get a loaner from Alstom IT in Sydney, Australia.

Thanks for your help!

Cheers,

Dan
