Re: Touchpad is not working anymore

[Diego Vargas]

Thanks all for your responses!

Dale:
What the grep '' /sys/class/input/event*/device/name does is print the name
of anything connected to the computer.
This is with my usb mouse connected, and obviosly it disappears when it's
disconnected.
/sys/class/input/event0/device/name:Power Button
/sys/class/input/event10/device/name:HDA Intel PCH Headphone
*/sys/class/input/event11/device/name:PixArt USB Optical Mouse*
/sys/class/input/event1/device/name:Lid Switch
/sys/class/input/event2/device/name:Power Button
/sys/class/input/event3/device/name:AT Translated Set 2 keyboard
*/sys/class/input/event4/device/name:SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad*
/sys/class/input/event5/device/name:Video Bus
/sys/class/input/event6/device/name:TOSHIBA Web Camera - HD
/sys/class/input/event7/device/name:Toshiba input device
/sys/class/input/event8/device/name:HDA Intel PCH HDMI/DP,pcm=3
/sys/class/input/event9/device/name:HDA Intel PCH Mic

Tim:
No it does not work on windows, since I haven't updated keyboard driver. It
did worked on Windows 8, but I removed it to replace it with Win7 and
Fedora.
This is what I did:
1. Worked on  Fedora normally, while downloading some drivers for Win7.
2. Rebooted
3. Booted Windows 7
4. Installed the chipset/inf update first:
[ This is the file I've installed:
http://support.toshiba.com/support/modelHome?freeText=3575526 Section
Chipset: Intel Chipset SW Installation Utility]
5. Reboot
6. Booted fedora, wanted to make some stuff but the touchpad stopped
working since then.
This is what I cannot do:
- The pointer is not on the screen, anywhere.
- Cannot left click, right click on any place (though the pointer just
doesn't show)
- If I connect an USB mouse, the pointer shows up and works 100% but I
cannot move the pointer with the touchpad (something I can do on other
computers with fedora as OS).

Carlos:
I just tried with a yum reinstall and it doesn't work.
