> Hi,

> I've a 6 year old Novatech laptop and the touch pad just stopped responding.

> I can still see that the kernel has detected an touch pad device and the
> buttons in it still work, as does the Fn+F1 to turn it on and off (well it
> turns the buttons on and off). I can use a external mouse - which is better in
> most respects - but it's still annoying.

> Anyone have any bright ideas? It's not been dropped, abused or had any
> significant changes made to it. It us running Debian stable.
