I was given the following suggestion which has worked for other but not for me. Does this give anyone any ideas what I can try next? Gary I had the same issue with a Dell when I upgraded to Fedora 18, so I added 'i8042.reset i8042.nomux=1' (without quotes) at the end of the kernel boot options in Grub: [root@portdav2 ~]# cat /etc/default/grub GRUB_TIMEOUT=5 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Fedora" GRUB_DEFAULT=saved GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.md=0 rd.lvm=0 rd.dm=0 SYSFONT=True rd.luks=0 LANG=es_ES.UTF-8 KEYTABLE=es i8042.reset i8042.nomux=1" [root@portdav2 ~]# Some useful links: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/28736/what-does-the-i8042-nomux-1-kernel-option-do-during-booting-of-ubuntu http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=41200 Hope this helps, David -- Gary Stainburn Group I.T.
