I always edit /etc/default/grub to fix my touchpad issue and make it work on Ubuntu based distros. Recently I have installed Fedora15 and I tried to do the same work on it but I couldn't find the file. Do you know where is it in Fedora?

I have a KeySonic 2.4Ghz Wireless Keyboard with Integrated TouchPad which I am trying to get to work.
Now there are some reviews saying it works straight out the box on Linux. This was almost the case for me.
The keyboard works straight away but the touch pad doesn't work at all not even the mouse buttons
I am running CentOS release 5.3 (Final) Kernel 2.6.18-128.el5
I would really appreciate any advice at all, I have checked the output of: cat /proc/bus/input/devices

View 6 Replies View RelatedI initially had W7 starter on this netbook, changed to linux mint 8 very quickly (as fedora seems to have bricked my old laptop ), and eventually decided to try fedora again. However, unlike on LM8, the touchpad and Wireless LAN do not work.
Netbook Model- Acer Aspire One D250-1515
Wireless Card- Atheros Communications Inc. AR928X Wireless Network Adapter
Touchpad- unknown (how can I find this out?)
These two issues kind of make the netbook rather useless as a mobile device.
Title says it all really. I can move the mouse around but can't select stuff by tapping the pad. I have synaptics installed which works in Arch and Slackware. Not in F12 though.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a laptop HP 4520s, using Fedora 15 (is fine) gnome3, the unique problem is with touchpad, I can setup in system setting, the tap event works fine, but the right click not work.
I explain more especific, this kind of touchpad is very large and the left and right click are in the touchpad, and when i make a click every time send the left click event. the drag event is very dificoult too with this driver. I was use the same computer with opensuse 11.4 with KDE 4.6, and the touchpad works with out problem.
The touchpad is synaptics.
I just tried setting my vga mode in grub.conf so that I can have my boot splash back after disabling nouveau. Works great. Problem is, now, that after doing this my touchpad is disabled. Anyone else run into this? I'm on an HP dv6, FC13, vga=0x37b. I remove vga mode setting and touchpad works again.

I have 3 monitors and two video cards. In my ATI HD 6750 I have the DVI going to monitor one and the VGA for that card going to monitor 2.
[burnyd@dynamips ~]$ lspci | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV710 [Radeon HD 4350]
03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT218 [ION] (rev a2)
The second card (Nvidia GT218) I have the DVI connection going to monitor three Monitor one and two for the ATI work perfect but I cannot get monitor three which is connected to the nvidia gt218 to work properly. I tried editing my own xorg.conf file but that did not work, I have a windows 7 install on this box that works properly. I cant seem to make this work with the third monitor and the nvidia video card.
I am using pidgin messenger. Its not connecting properly as our Internet is blocked by a firewall. Can we do something so that it works properly

I had originally followed the advice at Mauriat Miranda's Fedora Nvidia Driver Install Guide [URL] for installing nvidia's display driver on my HP Pavilion system 64 bit running Fedora 11. I had used his first method which just installs the relevant kernel module kmod-nvidia from RPMFusion. He also suggested an alternate method: obtaining Nvidia's installer NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.36-pkg2.run and using that. I downloaded it from Nvidia, but I didn't run it.
I recently lost X. This had happened previously after a kernel upgrade, and I just used grub to boot an earlier kernel to recover X, and then installed the upgraded kernel module to fix the problem. But this time, being deeply involved in something else, I panicked slightly, and, using dumb terminal mode I ran the Nvidia installer. It asked me to make various choices and in response to my answers, it decided to compile a new kernel module. This recovered X, but I then compounded things by installing the updated kmod-nvidia.
I realized afterwards that using both methods might create some conflicts, but X seemed to run properly. (I can tell because graphics in the program Maple doesn't work properly with the default drivers provided by Fedora 11.) Since then, when I restart nvidia, I get.

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy touchpad just stopped working recently. It works in the framebuffer console, cat /dev/input/mice gives sensible output, X -retro shows a moving cross and it is completely functional during the gdm login prompt. But for some reason, it just stops responding halfway through the login process (roughly at the same time as gnome complains about my old laptop battery, if that is any help.) I run Debian Squeeze with Linux 2.6.32-5-686. The touchpad is a Synaptics PS/2 pad according to Xorg.
I do not understand the problem, actually. X seems unwilling to talk to my touchpad for some reason. When I run X manually from single-user mode, it complains that it cannot talk to my touchpad, but it works in the -retro test mode. As soon as gnome kicks in however, it stops working. synclient -l gives sensible output.
My external USB mouse works just fine.
whenever I start my laptop with Ubuntu Installed the startup screen goes strange (fuzzy/block type) then is fine when the desktop appears, but I can't use the touchpad or the keyboard.
Is there a repair option or does anyone know what has happened ?
I just put ubuntu 10.10 on my HP Pavilion dv9000, and it's been working well for the past few days, but just recently the touch pad stopped working, even when it's on. My usb connected mouse works. What should I do?! I need this resolved now.
View 7 Replies View RelatedMy hardware is a Gateway LT2104u netbook.Bought it today, took it out the box and installed the netbook version of Ubuntu.Now here is the problem.The touchpad works fine. I am able to move the mouse all over the screen, the keyboard works find too. The problem is with the mouse click. The clicks are recognized when I am in the 'overview screen'. For example I can click on firefox and it opens. However once firefox is open it does not respond to any clicks. Even clicks to close firefox.
I push Alt+f4 to close the program and then I can click into any other (or the original) programs, but once inside the problem replicates.The problem was present in the 'live cd' during install as well.Does anybody know what might cause this? The whole netbook is useless at this point since I need to click to pretty much do anything in most applications (the Terminal program is one of the few exceptions )
Laptop is of the Lenovo 3000 Y500 series, 32bit processor. Touchpad does not respond during the installation.Worried if the Touchpad won't work even after the installation..Currently using Windows7.

When I check the /usr/share/hal/fdi/ policy/ 10osvendor/ directory, I see that no "11-x11-synaptics.fdi" file was present. I just copied the file from /etc/hal/fdi/policy into this directory, but this did not help. Can somebody guide me through this?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI just installed Debian on my new VAIO VPCS13. It seems to be working for the most part, except it does not recognize my Synaptics touchpad at all.
I've had Ubuntu installed on this computer before and the mousepad worked fine. This being Debian on a new-generation computer, it makes me think that Debian just probably hasn't released the update yet.
This weekend I did a distribution upgrade to Karmic, but it didn't go very well. Upon reboot, I see a white ubuntu logo on a black screen. I hear the speakers pop, and the screen flashes several times, sorta like the blank screen is maybe changing video modes. After a while I see what I think is garbled text but is unreadable, and it looks like I can log on even though I can't read anything. Now, booting into recovery mode gets me to a readable prompt. There are no upgrades to apply. Typing gdm from here gets me to the desktop just fine. Also when booting, if I choose an earlier kernel the system boots fine also, except the touchpad doesn't work.
