Hello everybody,
I have some problems with Backtrack since I tried to restore the grub installation, which was substituted by that of BT, which excluded all other linux OS installed.
So I followed the instruction to restore Grub2 and it works! I have now all my OS back inclusive BT4.
But... neither touchpad nor usb-mouse functioned anymore, and starting /etc/init.d/networking the wlan0 device, which was recognized till that moment, outputted
Code:
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags : No such device
wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags : No such device
Bin d socket to interface: No such device
Failed to bring up wlan0.
done.
I put then the live cd in the laptop (Acer aspire 5630) and I see everything works well, so I decided to install BT4 new. I reboot and the issues are still here: no mouse and no wlan.
Searching in internet I found out how to enable SHMConfig for the touchpad, unfortunately the touchpad is still dead, but the usb-mouse functions again...
what can I do to get the touchpad and, more important, the wlan0 device working again?
Greetings
EDIT:
when I try to run synclient, the answer is always:" X server supports X Input 1.4. I need 1.5.", I have no idea what this could mean.
What now concern wlan, this is what I get
Code:
