I know you'll all hate me for saying this, but usually Ubuntu finds every driver you might need... try loading Ubuntu using a live cd/dvd and look at the drivers it uses...

Hi Timothy, Thanks for the heads up! I tried to reboot several times, but it didn't work. Xianwen On 04/18/2011 07:44 PM, Timothy L. wrote:

My touchpad wasn't recognized either after restarting a few days ago, but restarting again fixed it for whatever reason. I guess the module can fail to load sometimes.
