I followed SteveRiley's quick how to for installing Kubuntu, on my HPMini netbook. I installed Ubuntu server 13.10, and following the instructions, removed the server and installed kubuntu-desktop. Both installations seemed to go without a hitch. I rebooted into Kubuntu, and the touchpad didn't work. Nor did a USB mouse. lsmod showed no module for touchpad or mouse. xinput showed no touchpad or mouse. The driver for the touchpad is supposed to be synaptics, but when I try to install it I'm informed that it has been replaced by tpconfig. So I installed tpconfig, and rebooted. The touchpad still doesn't work, but the USB mouse does, and lsmod and xinput show it. No sign of the touchpad, however. But there's this:
I have a disability that makes it very difficult to use a mouse, so I really want to get the touchpad working. Is there something I can do?
Code:
sudo tpconfig -i Found Synaptics Touchpad Firmware: 8.96
