2008-12-20 00:07:44 Bulat description Sometimes when I boot my laptop up scrolling area on a TouchPad doesn't work and Touchpad configuration pages are not present in Preferences->Mouse menu. In such cases I just reboot my laptop, and then everything works fine. But in most times it boot's up having all TouchPad functionality Ok. System version: Hardy 8.04.1 Laptop: Toshiba Tecra M7 (it's a Tablet PC) Kernel: 2.6.24-22-generic #1 SMP Mon Nov 24 18:32:42 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux I've figured out that it happens (no scrolling) because of Synaptics TouchPad not being detected in such cases.
