Porteus

Hello,

I have got Porteus 4.0 KDE installed on a USB stick. When I boot from that it logs to the KDE desktop without any issue. But it doesn't recognize any touchpad. The touchpad settings say that "No Touchpad found". However, the touchpad on my laptop is working perfectly fine.

Please help.

Note this is about Porteus 4.0 and not Porteus 5.0 rc1 mentioned in my profile.

Solution:
Add after the end of APPEND line in Porteus.cfg in boot folder. Solution by benny

Hey man. Thanks. That worked.
Though I don't know what it did, but the touchpad works now.

It is something specifically related to some hardwares or a bug in the OS?

hi, is kernel related,i have done this in my laptop and work ,arch work without this append line,but glad that work for you.
