[00:11]<a2900p>PiTT: is there an update available?
[00:12]<pytt>cb400f: well the version of xgl on my system is a bit outdated
[00:12]<pytt>there is a newer one, but smart doesn't see it
[00:12]<pytt>even though the channel is listed in my smart
[00:12]<a2900p>PiTT: have you added the update channel?
[00:12]<vxn_mumn>flyman: make sure the mouse is plugged in fully
