 Hmm! Does it a bit weird! Is it so by design?

 Accessibility options? I will have to try next time I reinstall.
Could you provide me with more information about it? I can't even
understand what you are saying about "Accessibility options" right
during the installation.

 No, I didn't. The mouse pad didn't work during installation and it
started working right back afterwards

You should be able to get model, serial and other numbers from

If you file a bug, make sure the model number is specific (which
I think yours is). As it works normally, you might also give
specifics about the touchpad (or whatever it is that doesn't work).
Example at BTS #946118.

I take it that Bil[d?]schirmbild means Screenshot: yes, it does appear
that TABbing doesn't reach that button (including using modifiers).
Would you be able to navigate the cursor over the button by using the
Accessibility options (2nd item I think) to select 'moving the cursor
with the arrow keys' (assuming that's available).

(I'm afraid I normally use the non-graphical option, remote
installation via ssh, and scrot, to take screenshots.)

Cheers,
David.

 They should let users know


You can open an issue in the debian installer repo. They might consider 
serious and fix it.





The simplest solution is to try a usb mouse.


 Thank you

If the laptop mouse is not detected during the Installation it 
probably wont be detected later too!


 laptop mouse pad worked fine after the Installation


Did you install any proprietary drivers after installation?
