[PLUG] OS not responding to laptop touchpad

[Dick Steffens]

I'm guessing this is because I had a mouse plugged in when I did the 
install, but my laptop does not respond to the touch pad or its 
associated buttons. How do I figure this one out?

The hardware is an Acer Aspire 1640Z. The OS is Linux Mint 13 Maya. I've 
just spent a week with it as my only machine (over at our timeshare in 
Lincoln City) and, as near as I can tell, the rest of it works fine.

Thanks.
