Just played very briefly with Linux Mint 14 live dvd on my new Lenovo IdeaPad Z580 and the touchpad works great!
Left & right clicks without probs...
Also open mouse settings and check vertical and horizontal scrolling to have better functionality.
If it doesn't work with LM 13 try Nadia.

Hello, I'm still using the old sources.list, the ones based on the official Debian repos and used before Mint opened its incoming and latest repos. I've modificated a little bit the file and the preferences file. Do you think I can continue using this sources.list without problems (meaning : proble...

Actually, I downloaded the parcellite deb from the site at http://parcellite.sourceforge.net/?page_id=10 . It seems to work well and is the latest. My current version is Parcellite 1.0.2rc2. Yeah, I know. I played a little with the latest 1.0.2rc5 from SoufceForge. It works also well. But in the en...

Hey, I have the same issue since yesterday, i.e. marking/painting/highlighting text with the mouse or keyboard or shortcuts causes the text to highlight, then un-highlight. If I highlight the same text twice, (for example ctrl-a ctrl-a) it works, but single highlight does not work. The issue occurs...

I found a solution in here: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=190&t=83182 The culprit is the latest parcellite clipboard manager - if anyone else is having the same trouble and want to use parcellite I recommend to install the older stable version 0.9.2-1 (from debian stable) instead o...

where can i download the old debian stable version of this system? I lost the ISO files, and i don't want to deal with update packs, sounds like it would be imposable to install files from the repos. They should release a stable release, maybe every 6 months update the non system software.... like ...

Hello, I use LMDE 9/2011 32 gnome and everything works as expected. Well almost everything. After installing a few programs (nothing unusual - all from LMDE Latest or Incoming repos) my mouse started to behave in a strange way. When I try to select a paragraph for copy/paste or clicking on a file or...

I DO have gnome-core installed, so having Update Manager remove it, sounds like it will break my system. Synaptic does not call for this to be removed. Does anyone know why there are differences between Synaptic and Update Manager and what they say they are going to update or remove? Should I not u...

A few little quirks I found when testing latest gnome 32b LMDE 201108 rc: - in preferred applications firefox is not the default web browser (debian sensible browser?) and banshee is not set as the default multimedia player (rhythmbox as custom) - speaking of firefox, mint-stylish-addon is incompati...

Hello, have you tried to install/reinstall e17 with script Easy_e17.sh ( http://omicron.homeip.net/projects/ )? I've tried enlightment a while ago and this worked for me a little better than the version from synaptic. Just had to install a few missing dependencies like svn. I can't guarantee this wi...

Hello GeneC (and everybody else), you forgot to add 1 more option to this poll: Tracking "Debian Squeeze" (stable) I tried LMDE testing, but had a few issues, so after a fresh installation of LMDE 32b 1/2011 (before dist-upgrading) I changed the sources from testing to stable and have now ...
