planning to do is set up a laptop (Dell) to run FC4 dual boot. My
question to get to the point is the touchpad mouse on the laptop. When
doing the install (I plan on using X) what is the recommended setting
for touchpad in terms of a mouse? What I mean is, is this a two button
mouse, etc. Again please over look if this is obvious, as I said I can't
seem to find the answer in the docs.
Hi, John. I set up Mandriva on one laptop and Fedora Core on another, and in
both cases I did not need to do anything about the touchpad - it was
configured automatically.

As I mentioned before, the only issue I've ever found with laptop
touchpads might be when you use a USB mouse. I've had a problem where
I've had to configure the mouse driver as a module and to load it after
the USB subsystem initializes to get the touchpad to work. And that is
not always the case with all laptops. Otherwise 'it just works'.
