help needed with HP dv6-3225dx

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello to all:

I have a Hp dv6-3225dx installed with Win7. I tried to dual boot with F14 but it wouldn't recognize the mouse/buttons of the Synaptics PS/2 Port Touchpad v7.4 (driver 15.2.4.4 per Win7). I just tried an install of F16 and I am getting much better behavior (as in it understands the mouse) but I am still hitting a wall.

I insert a memory stick and I see the icon popup on my desktop to tell me that it is there. I mouse over it and it confirms that it exists as an unmounted drive. When I click the right or left mouse, it does nothing. Experience on my other F16 boxes is that a popup should happen which includes the option of mounting it.

The low lying fruit is that I read the man pages for mount and don't quite understand what I need to do to mount it. The real problem is that my install is not fully understanding the touchpad input. Though it would be helpful to know exactly what I have to type in a terminal as root(?) to mount, I am more concerned about getting the buttons to behave "as expected".

This is an F16 install under Xfce.

For what it is worth, the mouse/buttons under Win7 have been dodgy at times and I think HP made a mistake on this computer using them. If I had the money, I would solve the problem by getting a new laptop ... and not HP as I think they have taken a wrong path ... and double that for using with Linux.

Any suggestions appreciated,
Thanks,
Paul
