| What doesn't work: | Works *almost* perfectly. Like a number of other people using Lisa I find that occasionally the trackpad stops working, but thanks to Linux Mint Forums I have found an easy way to reset it. See below.
When I'm editing a text document (whether using vi, OpenOffice, or whatever) the cursor occasionally jumps to a different place. I don't know whether this is
- I accidentally set off the touchpad with my palm
- I accidentally hit the red dot pointing device
- a software problem
|
| What was done to make it work: | Occasionally the trackpad stops working. This appears to be a software bug. The easiest fix is to install gpointing-device-settings:
sudo apt-get install gpointing-device-settings
Then run
gpointing-device-settings
(or select 'Pointing Devices' from the 'Other' menu)
and uncheck 'Disable touchpad'.
Update, August 2012. If 'Disable touchpad' is not checked, check it, and then uncheck it again.

| Additional notes: | This machine is truly awesome. Light, durable, fast, nice keyboard. The battery life is great.
