That will be a challenge. Without the touchpad I have to see how to copy the output.
Sorry for the formatting. I used the Dell.

Code: Select all
lspci | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' http://sprunge.us
Then post the link.
(oh never mind -- pagebreak, I see the output now)
Off to walk the dog, but I will see if I can find anything later.

OK one more thing to try.
Run "xrandr" and note the default resolution.
Run
Code: Select all
xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 640x480
Do you have a visible mouse pointer now?
Run
Code: Select all
xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode <default you noted in step one>
Is the mouse pointer visible now?
If this doesn't work I'm out of ideas. That machine would probably make a nice music server...

Does xinput detect it?

I think I give up, at least for now.
The screen resolution makes no change.
And yes, the mouse or touchpad is recognized.

Tried also a USB mouse, same behavior. And that is the strange thing. The cursor is there but it is like fading.
Ratpoison would be a good candidate for that machine. :)
