Hi Bill,
have you tried booting with knoppix live cd?
(yes I know you've tried others)
Also there are winders live cd's like hirens that may boot and help
diagnostics.
On the touchpad, sometimes there is a small button next to the touchpad
that turns it off and on. I know... pretty obvious... but it happened to
me once. I just wasnt' expecting a button there.
Also is there a volume wheel near the audio... yeah I know pretty
obvious too but sometimes you see it. Also touch sensitive buttons above
the keyboard are sometimes used to turn hardware off and on.
When the hardware is off they are sometimes not lit up. You have to know
they are there.
Thanks,
Ben Donohue

3 weeks ago I bought an MSI Cx640 laptop - 2nd Gen Sandy Bridge cpu,
USB 3 etc.
I'm running LinuxMint 11 (latest)
Problems:-
1) cant turn off touchpad - when using mouse, pointer/entered text
jumps all over the screen.
2) no audio from headphone/audio out port.
Excuse the long post, but here is info re system from both Mint and

I've googled for 3 weeks with no working results.
Even the touchpad-indicator applet installs but doesnt work.
Re sound output - headphones work with Fuduntu 14-10-RC2-64 but at
same time as laptop spkrs - no option to turn either off.
--------------------------
I've tried the latest Ubuntu 11.04/Open Suse 11.4/Fedora 15/Super OS
Linux 11.04/Berry 1.10 Live CDs etc without luck.
------------------
Any advice appreciated. There must be file(s) that can be manually
edited to prevent the touchpad activating on boot, and ditto for sound.
I know these are the problems on gets when buying the latest hardware.
Thanks in advance
Bill - very frustrated.
