Hope this additional info either helps someone solve the problem or at least clears up that there IS a problem... --Brandon Low Gentoo Developer On Mon, 06/16/03 at 07:33:18 +0200, Peter Osterlund wrote: > Thomas Molina writes: > > > I have two problems with 2.5.71 and my Presario 12XL325 laptop. > > > > Problem one is that my synaptics mousepad does not work.
