[Cooker] 9.0 laptop eraser not working
Hi, I was just helping a friend install 9.0 on his laptop (Dell Inspiron 4000). In winblows both the touchpad and the eraser (also called touchpoint i think) worked, and you could use either one. However in mandrake only the touchpad works. My questions: Is mandrake supposed to be able to configure both to work at the same time? If not, can it be done? most laptops seem to use the same drivers. Suppose I plugged in a mouse, shoudldn't it work with the touchpad automatically? -Preston Cody

With a default install of 9.0, both pointing devices worked by default on my Latitude CPx. I believe the hardware is the same. -- randy
