Hello, I plan to buy a notebook. This is my first notebook. Besides
Windows I'd like to install also fedora 8.
Can anyone tell me if fedora recognizes the touchpad of the notebook. If
so does fedora also recognise an additional USB mouse?
Any help appreciated
Jan
I guess I'll weigh in here too.
Generally speaking, there's been touchpad support for as long as I can
remember back to the RH7,8,9 days and prior. USB mouse is there also and both
do work at the same time. As others have suggested, you may want to tweak
the pad a bit. I've also had no problems with a wireless USB mouse.
As others have also mentioned wireless, modems, sound and misc. keyboard
functions will all be ruled by support of their chipsets.
As always, YMMV
My older Sony laptop with madwifi for wifi internet has F7 on it and
it works fine with the built-in Touchpad or a mouse and keyboard that
are both USB devices. It does very well and is as good or better than
Windows XP.
