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.
Hi,
I have reported that months ago, yet nothing happened :)
https://lists.launchpad.net/lubuntu-qa/msg03075.html
If you find a way to solve this issue (which is only with Lubuntu by the
way), please let me know :)
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
<http://support.asus.com/download.aspx?SLanguage=en&p=30&s=1&m=Eee+PC+1000HE&os=17&hashedid=Ues16Gw2OcqSjUNt>
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
