I use a really cheap Acer Extensa 5220, keyboard is ok for me, it has a rather conventional layout compared to some laptops I've seen where ESC/Shift/Enter/... where all over the place. The touchpad works ok for me, although I started to use a mouse again when at home. Touchpad is ok for the occasional pointing, but if you do point-heavy stuff it can go so far that your fingertips heat up and you almost start to rub them off. The touchpad can be disabled using Fn+F7 but this happens pretty much in hardware as far as I know and can lead to xruns (same goes for backlight). _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
