Mouse vanishes after switching from X to TTYn and back

Hello everyone
I am using Arch for almost two months now on my good ol' Dell Latitude labtop, and (comming from Slackware) I am quite satisfied with it. However, I discovered a little flaw somewhere in my configuration. I have absolutely no idea where the source could be: When I switch back to X from a TTY-Terminal my touch pad does not work anymore. I can still move the cursor with the track point, but I cannot press any button. When I then switch to the terminal I started X from, I can read the message: "(EE) AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad: Device has changed - disabling." When I restart X everything is just fine again. So, this is not really a problem, but an annoyance.
I could not find much in the web about it. Does anyone has some hints for me?
Thank you all very much in advance

Hello patroclo7

  • Problem loading safari webpage after switch from EDGE to 3G and vice versa.

    ok, very simple question
    i'm on edge, i want to go on safari, so i enable 3G. after that i go on safari and try to open a webpage. even after the 3G icon displays on top, it still takes a very long time before the webpage starts to load. Sometimes i get a message saying Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding. IS THIS NORMAL?
    also if im on 3G and switch down to EDGE and then open a page in safari i get a message saying Could not activate cellular data network, even though the page loads anyway. IS THAT NORMAL?
    Message was edited by: Stevendo

    are you on 4.0.1?
    if so then this of course is not normal but it is also happening to me
    ill be at home and have 3G on 4 bars and i try to load a page on safari and nothing happens, then i switch it to edge and it connects, but like u when switching from 3G to edge i get those messages.. also i noticed that this only happended after i updated to 4.0.1 and i NEVER got these problems b4 on 4.0 and to make things worse.. in order for my 3G data to work i have to make a phone call, hang up, then ill get connectivity on 3G..
    so the fix... i dont kno??
    but im suffering like u...

  • Cannot find iTunes rented, unwatched movie after moving from MAC to iphone and back to MAC

    Rented a movie and downloaded it to my MAC on 3/11. Moved to my iphone 3/12 in preparation for a trip. Never watched on iphone and moved movie back to MAC this morning. Now movie is nowhere to be found on MAC?  Any suggestions? When I hooked my phone up to the computer, the "move" button was active and the movie showed it transfered from my iphone, so I can't figure out why I can't find it on either device now.

    Will I get a reply? It seems Apple isn't as supportive as I thought.

  • Can I switch from Win to Mac and back to Win

    I just bought 2 new Shuffle for my 2 children. I hooked it up to our Dell Windows PC. I have downloaded a few songs from a CD that are also on my Mac's at work. When we go on vacation, I will be taking my Mac Book Pro. Can I get the Shuffles to work with my MBP while on vacation and then restore to windows when we get back? If you can help, I'll buy you a car. Mark

    Yes, the ipods will work with either a windows based or mac based computer.
    However, and ipod shuffle will loose the music if linked to another library.
    One way around this is to uncheck open itunes when this ipod is connected as posted by 0Ari0. But, this only works if you just want to charge the ipod.
    If you are wanting to load more music as you are on vacation, you can always transfer your library to your MacBook.
    This article will help if you wish to transfer the library from the Dell to the MacBook:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173
    This works with an ipod or any external drive.

  • Trackpoint does not work after switching from the tablet to laptop mode.

    I use my tablet to run a smartboard. Sometimes when I switch to the tablet mode and back by reversing the display, the trackpoint and mouse keys stop working. The touchpad below it still works. I am running windows 7. I have gone into the control panel, under mouse, and both the trackpoint and touchpad are still both checked. ?? When I restart the functions return.

  • Blurry font after switching from WinXP to Win 7 (Was:Schrift im Dreamweaver CS 3  verschwommen)

    <Preran> For the benefit of moderators here, I used Google to translate your content into English:
    Good day,
    I have problems with blurry font in Dreamweaver CS3 after switching from Windows XP to Windows 7
    I have already tried the following:
    In "Edit" Preferences "change font size" - unfortunately that does not work. (which had worked fine in the previous changeover to Windows XP)
    Then I got in the forum www. office-loesungen.de the tip, sometimes seen on the control panel display, which percentage is set.
    When I got the set to the mean value, the writing was not so blurry, but still not really readable.
    Experiments with Clear adjust TypeText were not successful.
    There is a trick, so the font is larger
    If I have to "small" hinders the size that was at 0.75 in the previous pages, it is readable for me, so I could enter the text and read it.
    However, the text is then when uploading larger.
    What can I do now?
    For speedy help I would be grateful
    Best regards
    Guten Tag,
    ich habe Probleme mit verschwommener Schrift im Dreamweaver CS3 nach der Umstellung von Windows XP auf Windows 7.
    Ich habe folgendes schon probiert:
    Bei „Bearbeiten“ und Voreinstellungen „Schriftgröße ändern“- das funktioniert leider nicht. (das  hatte bei der letzten Umstellung auf Windows XP wunderbar geklappt)
    Dann bekam ich im Forum www. office-loesungen.de den Tipp, mal über die Systemsteuerung-Anzeige zu sehen, welcher   Prozentwert eingestellt ist.
    Als ich den auf den mittleren Wert eingestellt habe, war die Schrift schon nicht mehr ganz so verschwommen, aber immer noch nicht richtig lesbar.
    Auch Versuche mit Clear Type Text anpassen waren nicht erfolgreich.
    Einen Trick gibt es, wodurch die Schrift größer wird
    Wenn ich die Größe, die bei den bisherigen Seiten bei 0,75 lag , auf „klein“ verstelle, ist es für mich lesbar, ich  könnte den Text so eingeben und auch lesen.
    Allerdings wird der  Text dann beim Hochladen auch größer.
    Was kann ich jetzt tun?
    Für baldige Hilfe wäre ich dankbar
    Mit freundlichem Gruss
    Renate Gundel

    I've done this multiple times and it produces essentially the same message, but there is a mention that a restart is pending. This is also strange because this is definitely not the case. First time I used CScleaner it took a while and was obviously busy correcting something. However now when I select clean all, it simply dumps anopther massive log file into AppData and says cleaning completed successfully. Now I just ran it again, so would you like me to post the more recent log file?

  • NI-4060 giving invalid 1st reading after switching from or to LOW Resistance Measurements

    We've been using TestStand & LabView to test various Circuit board. On series of test involves checking for a short circuit (Measure Low Resistance 4-wire) then measuring for a 3.5Vrms signal on another part of the board.
    For each measurement, the following NI-DMM VI's are used in order:
    niDMMInit, niDMMAutoZero, niDMMConfigure, niDMMMeasure, niDMMClose.
    If we do the Low Resistance 4WR measurement, then a AC V measurement, the 1st reading from the DMM is approx 10x too high, if a 2nd reading it done it is then OK.
    It doesn't matter how long a delay is before we take the 1st measurement, it's always approx a factor of 1E+1 out.
    If however we don't do a Low Restance prior to
    the AC V measurement, then the measurement is always correct.
    I expermented with turning AutoZero on & off, and various resolution settings, however none of these seem to have an effect on the result.
    Can anyone explain these strange results?
    Thanks

    Thanks, after playing with a few more settings I found if I turned the Cacheing off niDMMInitWithOptions, with "Cache=0" that everything worked fine, but it would take a couple of seconds to get the first AC measurement after switching from resistance.

  • Some issues after switching from 686 to x86_64

    Hi all,
    after switching from i686 to x86_64 using this link I am now facing some minor issues with some packages. I already activated the multilib repository but some problems remain. I checked the binaries in /usr/bin for 32 bit executables as described in the above link and there are 177 "bad" binaries left. I thought all of these were not executable, but surprisingly wine was. Strange!
    ffmpeg is another 32 bit executable and not runnable. So I tried to reinstall it, but that failed:
    > pacman -S ffmpeg
    warning: ffmpeg-1:2.6.1-1 is up to date -- reinstalling
    resolving dependencies...
    looking for conflicting packages...
    error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
    :: ffmpeg-compat: requires libx264.so=144-32
    libx264 is installed and didn't want to be reinstalled either:
    > pacman -S libx264
    warning: libx264-2:144.20150223-1 is up to date -- reinstalling

    Can someone give me a hint, what's the best way to solve this problem?
    Thanks in advance, Zmann

    I think the first issue you will run in to is that the interface for an old P4 hdd will probably not be the same as a new computer.  Besides that, it will probably be vastly slower than what comes with a new computer.  I think that is not the best idea.
    The only wat to really "trasition" between two archtectures that I know of is to copy configuration files over and have pacman dump a list of explicitly installed packages from the main repos.  Then use that information to reinstall all those packages.

  • Switched from iPhone to Android and now iMessage being sent instead of Text

    A friend of mine recently switched from iPhone to Android and now my text are being sent as iMessage instead of text and he obviously isn't receiving it. How do I fix this bug. I'm using iPhone 4 running iOS 5

    I apologize about the odd style but I'm using voice rec software.  I just got the Galaxy S five and I have this problem too after weeks of searching online I finally figured out the problem it is with iMessage even if you have your old phones imessage switched off. you have to get your friends to text you normally and send. If the text bubble shows up blue, press and hold choose option send as SMS or text and the bubble will change to green green means SMS blue is the iMessage so its up to the iPhone user to take literally a half of an extra step to send a text to you and if they don't do that then they're just jerks

    Some (Windows) laptops have easy access to memory and disk slots that do not necessitate taking the complete back cover off.  However, Apple does not make life easy for you.
    However, if you are going for a 'used' machine it is probably worth a try.
    Not possibly, definitely wrong, Ram and Hard Drive are considered user replaceable and will not void the warranty if changed.

  • I just switched from Aperture to Lightroom and PS CC.  My images exported from LR and PS suffer color loss.  Where do I begin to correct this problem?

    I just switched from Aperture to LR and PS CC.  My exported images suffer color loss?  How do I correct the issue?
    I shoot with a Canon 5d Mark III in Adobe 1998 Color Space.  I've been exporting JPEGS for web with Color Space sRGB.

    Does your issue have anything to do with switching from Aperture?
    In other words, if you take a new photograph with your camera, and import it in Lightroom, then export it, is there still a problem?
    Or is the problem somehow tied to transition from Aperture, or photos migrated from Aperture...?
    I'm guessing the reason you brought up Aperture is that you did not have export "color loss" issues in Aperture, like you are having in Lightroom, but since you didn't say... (just want to be sure).
