Hi All.
I am a linux newby (I know - what a pain, you may be thinking. I am trying to
breathe new life into a netbook that had Win XP on it. I have very little
experience of linux at all. Here's the problem: The manufacturer of my netbook
has released Linux Drivers and config stuff for the netbook. This is badly
needed for the trackpad made by Elantech. The cursor jumps around crazily with
the default Lubuntu setup and this makes typing REALLY hopeless.
I have downloaded a the set of drivers and config files from ASUS from here:
http://support.asus.com/download.aspx?SLanguage=en&p=30&s=1&m=Eee+PC+1000HE&os=17&hashedid=Ues16Gw2OcqSjUN
and I have them in my home directory in lubuntu.
I downloaded the newest kernal version and I got a makefile script (I think
that's the right term) and some directories with files in them. They all look
like text files containing scripts.
I have no idea how to execute these. I tried entering the directory where they
are stored as Root and copying the makefile script into a terminal window, but
although the script runs, it fails all over the place with errors such as 'no
such directory', or directory exists already' and stuff like that. I have no
idea what to do to get this going so that I can type in an ordinary way without
the cursor jumping to another part of the page as soon as I brush the pad even
in the lightest way.
If you can help me I will greatly appreciate it, but don't assume any prior
knowledge as I am a real beginner here.
Many thanks
Tony
