Tiny Core Base > CorePlus
Dead Cursor
bushyiii:
This is strange situation. I have two lenovo lightweight laptops: Ideapad 110S-11IBR and a Ideapad 120s-14IAP.
Coreplus has been installed on a 8gig flash drive. When I boot using the flash drive on the 110S everything works perfectly, I get the exact same desktop and applications on 120S with one exception, the cursor is displayed but inoperative. I can use the keyboard to exercise the applications, they all work, it's just a dead cursor.
I am posting this using the 120S using a different Linux OS. They track pad controls the mouse perferctly.
bushyiii:
I attached a USb wireless mouse and my cursor came to life so the problem lies with my track pad not working under core plus. might there be something something unique to the 120S track pad from the 110S track pad? Is there some additional app that might be necessary to enable the track pad?
Pats:
1) In Windoz , try Device Trouble shooting option
2) In TCL : Try unclutter command and its other options :
--- Code: --- unclutter -idle 0
--- End code ---
3) If it does not solve , try :
--- Code: --- xinput list
--- End code ---
If you find output something like DualPoint Stick id=12 slave pointer (2) etc , then try disabling mouse for the time being :
--- Code: --- xinput disable 12
--- End code ---
But generally the cursor and mouse problem , resolve itself on its own , if pointer and keyboard section in your xorg.conf are configured correctly or a latest device driver is installed in linux.

Neither command did anything, maybe I just don't understand how to execute them or maybe they need to be used within a certain directory. In any event here is what happened when I tried them:
tc@box:~$ unclutter -idle 0
sh: unclutter: not found
tc@box:~$ xinput list
sh: xinput: not found
tc@box:~$

Hi bushyiii
unclutter can be found in unclutter.tcz.
xinput can be found in Xorg-7.7-bin.tcz
