Re: Laptop Touch pad = shutdown in FC4 and FC5

["Jonathan Carpenter" <jonathan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxx>]

When fedora boots and you go to change rather you want to use kde or
gnome it will shutdown there. Or after you get logged in gnome if you
click on applications and move the mouse cursor down it will also
shutdown. Crazy behavior.

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 ?
