[techtalk] Compaq Presario 1240

[Phil Savoie]

Hi All,

This laptop comes with a touch pad that is recognized in Mandrake 
6.1.  This is also a dual boot machine w/win98.  It has a ps/2 port for an 
external mouse but if I use a mouse in windows the pad is disabled 
automatically, in Linux the pad *and* the mouse works simultaneously. Would 
anyone know where in Mandrake I could disable the touch pad?  It is 
extremely sensitive and is driving me nuts by placing the cursor all over 
the place if any of my fingers even hover close to the thing.

Any and all help is appreciated.

Thank you,

Phil
