ACPI woes, & xserver won't recognise touchpad on backtrack3 + eee pc.
I'm getting a great deal of stress out of trying to install backtrack 3 (on an eee pc, but I figured I'd post in this forum, since it's more of a linux-related issue than a eee-kool-aid party). It's also my first slackware distro. My biggest two problems:
First problem: ACPI None of the ACPI functionality works. The screen stays on when the lid is down, the CPU temp reads at 0C, and twice in the last 4 days it has shut down, telling me that the processor has reached critical temperature. Where do I even start with this one? I've never had absolutely nothing working before! Second problem: Touchpad Ok, I'm a little farther along on this one. Try as I might, I just can't get it to run off anything other than the generic mouse device & driver. It's very aggravating, because it will go through seemingly random phases of jumping and clicking all over the place. I would like to actually use the synaptics driver, like this, say: Code:
Section "InputDevice" Code:
synaptics no synaptics event device found (checked 18 nodes) |
Well, after I found out that the integrated mic wasn't recognised, and the mouse going through a particularly damaging bout of crazy clicking, I have elected to install eeeXubuntu instead.
