toshiba m3 touchpad

[keiffee30]

I have looked in here and haven't found what I'm looking for for i just pop this post in to see if there is any fix for this.

I have just got my hands on a 2nd hand laptop a Toshiba M3 (1.7
Ghz). I have installed 8.04 and i get everything working lovely.....

BUT ....

The touch pad don't work. I have to use a usb mouse to do anything. is there a fix for this.

I have seen in other posts about xorg.conf files but when i look over what i have got its the same as them.

If anyone could help me out that would be lovely.

Since the mouse is detected as a standard PS/2 mouse (i believe), it would have to be a problem related to your bios or the touchpad itself.

thanks for getting back to me. at first i was unsure if this would work. but after RTFM i found out how to get into the bios ..... and guess what the touch pad had indeed been turned off.....

i feel such a muppet. that should of been the 1st place i looked.

thank you for giving me the slap i needed.
