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

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:
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).

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