I never know from one session to the next whether I have an input device: both the keyboard and the touchpad are often not working (Asus eee pc 1000 trying gamely to run 9.04 netbook remix) I'm writing you now because , inexplicably, both are working. If I boot into generic while alternately pressing the Pause/Break and PrtSc/SysRq keys, thus extending the length of the boot, this will usually ensure that the keyboard will respond well enough to allow me to tab into Recovery Mode, and occasionally will allow the keyboard to work with a simple Resume Normal Reboot. When I am allowed to tab, 4 times out of 5 running any option (Fix Broken Packages, say) ensures that I will have the use of the keyboard throughout the session. Nothing seems to ensure the use of the touchpad--today's gooddd fortune might be due to having updated the grub at root (sudo su...then update-grub...reboot) I've updated the grub menu before; we'll see how long this lasts. xorg.conf is just a dummy file; all the drivers seem to be associated with a generic configuration file. I can't invoke gsynaptic even though I add a file that was supposed to supply SHMconfig=on (as per some online advice) Seriously, keeping this thing running is becoming something between Voodoo and deep tissue massage...nothing's rational! I'll take any and all help I can get, even supercilious insult would be welcome. [email protected]
