Re: Touchpad problem
Tks all, I will try the four finger salute! I might try 8.2.1, but I don't really have time for now, maybe soon. Either way, the real problem hasn't been identified, is that right? Since the solution seems to be running some kind of script, either forced or automatically.

Touchpad problem
I don't know if this is the best place to post this but, since it seems a software problem, it may be a better idea then asking to get my XO repaired. I bought my XO this christmas, by Amazon's UK G1G1, which arrived at the beginning of the month. Almost already as I started using it, I noticed that sometimes the touchpad would be irresponsive. I may use it for hours without having a problem but, when it happens, it usually doesn't start working again soon. Sometimes it just jumps around like crazy, sometimes it just goes the wrong way I want it to. When this happens, the touchpad's buttons also are irresponsive, for as much as I press either one. Usually, the touchpad starts working well again when I suspend the XO and wake it up, even if just for a while. This has always worked for me. Any ideas?

When this happens, the touchpad's buttons also are irresponsive, for as much as I press either one. When this happens, best thing to do is let go for a few seconds so that it can recalibrate. Most of the time, the driver detects that the mouse is going crazy, but it is unable to recalibrate while you are using it. Alternatively, you can force a recalibration using http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Four_finger_salute Daniel ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
