Hello everybody,
currently I'm using Slacko 5.4 installed on a usb key with my netbook(Win XP) and everything it's working great.
I wanted to put it on the netbook hd: I followed the instruction (http://puppy.b0x.me/lin-n-win and http://puppylinux.org/main/How%20NOT%20 ... 0Puppy.htm) and puppy it's loading until the desktop without any error.
But I can't move the mouse pointer. It seems that the touchpad it's not recognized.
If I delete the frugal installation and boot puppy from the usbkey, the problem disapperars.
The usbkey is FAT32, the netbook hd is NTFS
Any idea ?

Acer Aspire One touchpad not recognized
I "installed" the beta version (5.4.0.2) on a usbkey (fat32), and it's getting worse: now the touchpad doesn't work, even from the usbkey.stelvio03 wrote:No, I'm not using the beta.
I'll download it tonight and give it a try.
I'll keep you updated.

I retried the usbkey with ver 5.4 and the touchpad restart working.
Which could be the differences between 5.4 and 5.4.0.2 that could lead to this problem ?
Andrea
After a lot of reboots of both ver. 5.4 and 5.4.0.2, by accident, I found that randomly the touchpad came up disabled or enabled. Not by X configuration ,but by Acer h.w. configuration: hitting Fn + F7 you can enable or disable the touchpad.
When Puppy rebooted with the touchpad not working, I had to hit twice Fn+F7 (disable + enable ?).
I don't understand which could be the cause.

Maybe the commandline program synclient can work?
It appears it can change the status of the touchpad,

I tried the synclient command and it seems to work.Peterm321 wrote:Maybe the commandline program synclient can work?

I also found these kernel commands i8042.reset and i8042.nomux=1: they also seem to work.
I tried a lot of reboots with one solution and the other, and now my touchpad is always working.
Thank you
