It looks like I have a SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad. The xfree86-driver-synaptics package did the trick for me. Glad to know there are other though if needed. > As for your networking problem, if you want to share directories I think > NFS is a good choice. It's pretty easy to set up.

I still can't see either of my linux boxes on the network (using NFS), just one last windows box shows up in the list. I'm not sure but I think it's an authentication problem.

I have installed this and I think I can grab some files to get to work. But the desktop has the HD space and I can't store all that much on the laptop so I'm hoping to get NFS up and running. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
