This will be my third version of Linux that I am about to try on my tosiba satellite laptop..a70...
does anyone know if there are difficulties with the "touchpad"?
and is there a way to use my pocket pc sync on here?
and is it userfriendly???
thanks brenda
is there like screen shots somewhere"
Since you didn't mention which distro you want to try etc it's a little hard to give ideas.
If you check linux-on-laptops.com somebody has posted a guide to installing Gentoo on the A70 model (including the Synaptics settings so I guess the touchpad can be configured)
wonderful. thanks so much for the reply. I was at the start page here and did not know there were sooooooooooooooooooooo many versions.......wow! thanks for your suggestion. I will certainly have a look. I just want something that works....
