I cant get the toupad of my old CYBERCOM 9889 Notebook to work with DSL does anyone know how to fix that? I also cant use a PS/2 mouse becouse DSL freez when its plugged in. The only thing that works for me is a usb mouse but i only have one for my computer and dont whant to buy anotherone for this old notebook.

I have three different brands of laptops with touchpads working fine.
One thing you can look for is /home/dsl/.xserverrc and see if the mouse entry is doubled or pointing to the wrong one. If so, correct it

If not, it may be that you will need the full XFree86 extension.

i tryed a linux with xorg and i got the touchpad working but xorg needs to much RAM and my notebook only has 32MB.

We have a unc version of XFree86 which does not require much memory.
