I have a gateway solo 9500 and if I use the touch pad the laptop will shutdown but If I use a usb mouse I have no problem. Is there anyway to fix this?
Wow, is this immediate ? Are you running gui ? kde or gnome desktop ? are you touching the edges (possibly special functions) ? does it only happen if the external mouse is plugged in ? open a terminal window, and su - then tail -f /var/log/messages and see if any messages are appended as you touch the touchpad ?
