I have ticked “Pointer can be controlled using the keypad” under Keyboard preferences, no joy. The touch screen works and a generic wireless mouse works, but no touchpad. How do I get it working?
The laptop I’m using is a Gigabyte T1028.
Hi,
try installing this package via the terminal (Ctrl + Alt + t):
gpointing-device-settings
