Well, a couple of updates:
1) I don't think I have a camera -- a user wrote me and told me to
look at the configuration using my service tag. I did and there's not
a camera listed. Which is fine, but there's something odd on the
bottom bezel of the screen. It's square and looks like it has a lens
in it, like a camera. If it isn't a camera...I have no clue what it is.
2) the touchpad is...kind of working? After I sent the initial email,
at a friend's urging, I booted it with an Ubuntu live cd. It worked as
I hoped, and when I ran "xinput list" it was listed as "Alps/PS/2 ALPS
DualPoint TouchPad". When I reboot into Fedora and ran "xinput list",
it was now listed as "Alps/PS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad" as well and
working. I was able to configure it using the Settings Mouse and had
no problems. Then I reboot to see if it was persistent and when I did,
it was listed as just "PS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad" and stopped
working again. Another reboot and it was correctly detected and working.
Does anyone have any thoughts on why it's seen as one way and doesn't
work, then seen correctly and working?
Thanks.
looks like others have this issue also..
