Hello everybody, currently I'm using Slacko 5.4 installed on a usb key with my netbook(Win XP) and everything it's working great. I wanted to put it on the netbook hd: I followed the instruction (http://puppy.b0x.me/lin-n-win and http://puppylinux.org/main/How%20NOT%20to%20install%20Puppy.htm) and puppy it's loading until the desktop without any error. But I can't move the mouse pointer. It seems that the touchpad it's not recognized. If I delete the frugal installation and boot puppy from the usbkey, the problem disapperars. The usbkey is FAT32, the netbook hd is NTFS Any idea ? Andrea |

Try a NTFS-formatted usbkey. This should help determine whether the filesystem is causing the problem. |

Ordinarily, the use of NTFS should not be a problem. However, I think there has been a few problems with Slacko 5.4 (still in development) and NTFS because of its use of a later kernel version. I think the latest beta has ironed out the problem. Are you using that? |

No, I'm not using the beta. I'll download it tonight and give it a try. I'll keep you updated. Andrea |

I "installed" the beta version (5.4.0.2) on a usbkey (fat32), and it's getting worse: now the touchpad doesn't work, even from the usbkey. I retried the usbkey with ver 5.4 and the touchpad restart working. Which could be the differences between 5.4 and 5.4.0.2 that could lead to this problem ? Andrea |

After a lot of reboots of both ver. 5.4 and 5.4.0.2, by accident, I found that randomly the touchpad came up disabled or enabled. Not by X configuration ,but by Acer h.w. configuration: hitting Fn + F7 you can enable or disable the touchpad. When Puppy rebooted with the touchpad not working, I had to hit twice Fn+F7 (disable + enable ?). I don't understand which could be the cause. Andrea |

Maybe the commandline program synclient can work? It appears it can change the status of the touchpad, http://askubuntu.com/questions/67718/how-do-i-disable-a-touchpad-using-the-command-line http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=10996 |

I tried the synclient command and it seems to work. I also found these kernel commands i8042.reset and i8042.nomux=1: they also seem to work. I tried a lot of reboots with one solution and the other, and now my touchpad is always working. Thank you |
