i just downloaded v 3.9 of knoppix looks awesome! im a total linux noob and my touchpad was not functioning so i couldnt explore everything as much as i would like. when i have access to a usb mouse tommorow ill try that. but i much prefer using the touchpad. any ideas ? the exact model of my laptop is:

toshiba satellite a-75 s-2112

everything else seemed to work fine except my wireless card or internet needed configured...ill tackle that next any help is greatly appreciated. thanks!
