They confirmed the date of sale and invoice # on file, then I drove out where a diagnostic test was done. The test revealed a defect in the touch pad and top cover; and, that this merited returning the Acer to the manufacturer under their warranty. Though the laptop must be away, this suggests no causative software issue. <br> <br>Thanks for helping me verify the trouble.<br><font color="#888888">Kenneth <br></font><div><div></div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Dec 28, 2010 at 2:26 PM, Kenneth Koym <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:koymkg@gmail.com" target="_blank">koymkg@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">Ralf thanks for assisting me. <br>If I understand your recommendation, the terminal lsmod report is below but I do not know how to interpret the results :<br> soundcore 8052 1 snd<br>psmouse 64576 0 <br> serio_raw 4918 0 <br>shpchp 33711 0 <br>k8temp 3944 0 <br>snd_page_alloc 8500 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm<br>atl1c 32975 0 <br>i2c_piix4 9639 0 <br> edac_core 45423 0 <br>edac_mce_amd 9278 0 <br>arc4 1473 2 <br>b43 182322 0 <br>mac80211 238896 1 b43<br>cfg80211 148725 2 b43,mac80211<br> video 20623 0 <br>led_class 3764 1 b43<br>output 2503 1 video<br>lp 9336 0 <br>parport 37160 2 ppdev,lp<br>usbhid 41084 0 <br> hid 83472 1 usbhid<br>ssb 45395 1 b43<br>ahci 37870 4 <br><div><div></div><div><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Dec 28, 2010 at 2:26 AM, Ralf <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ralf.mardorf@alice-dsl.net" target="_blank">ralf.mardorf@alice-dsl.net</a>></span> wrote:<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"><div>On Mon, 2010-12-27 at 23:37 -0500, Mike Holstein wrote:<br> ><br> ><br> > On Mon, Dec 27, 2010 at 11:33 PM, Kenneth Koym <<a href="mailto:koymkg@gmail.com" target="_blank">koymkg@gmail.com</a>><br> > wrote:<br> > Mike, I was able to log off and log back on using the external<br> > mouse but not the inbuilt mouse. reception is off and on via<br> > unassisted wireless and my keyboard works without prodding the<br> > F5 which had been the crude means I used to get wireless to<br> > indicate it would cooperate and restore the keyboard. will get<br> > out of here and handle my job for a bit and turn in for the<br> > night.
