Im still slightly in shock, first got fullscreen 24 bit display in X on this thing last night and tonight finally got touchpad working, no more external mouse :) Well that was what worked for me, I havent looked into any special options on it, as I am just thrilled its working at all. Hope it helps someone else too Cheers, Michelle
