I have a toshiba laptop, have only had it a little while, havn't had much time to mess w/ it. I have mandrake 10.1 <KDE> on it, and today, while I was at work, my girlfriend decided to try to get the touchpad to scroll like it does in windows....keep in mind the touchpad was working fine, it just didn't have that neet scrolly option that she so adores...anyway...she went to the configure mouse utility, chose a different mouse setup and now X won't start (and I am essentially gui dependant. when you try to boot it says something about mod synaptics not found...any Ideas as to an easy fix? If this problem is to complicated I'll just reinstall Mandrake (Mandriva?) (It will boot to a command prompt...no problems there).

You could edit the config by doing a CTRL-ALT-F1 to get out of the broken X-Windows System session or run the X-Windows System configurator and choose the correct mouse from the root console session.

" run the X-Windows System configurator and choose the correct mouse from the root console session."
how? pretty new here.

I did mousedake and I'm all good now...for some reason it messed up m internet connections to,but it's all fixed now

after I did mouse drake everything works fine....but my network doesn't ever work after boot anymore...it did work fine before the mouse problem, but now everytime I boot I need to goto the netwrok configure tool (mandrake control center) and remove connection eth0 and then add connection eth0. Then it works finetill I reboot, at boot it says bringing up eth0: FAILED
