Mouse, Touchpad
Can I attach an external keyboard or mouse?
Most USB keyboards and mice work fine. However, avoid "PalmPilot keyboards," as these use IR (infrared), and "wireless keyboards," as these use Bluetooth—neither of which are supported on the XO laptop.
Is there a stylus for the touchpad?
No stylus support is currently planned for the XO.
Why is my touchpad jumpy?
At times, the touchpad will become jumpy and the system will recalibrate it. If this happens, you will need to keep your fingers away from the touchpad for five seconds. You can also force a manual recalibration.
There were three known touchpad issues with software older than release 8.2 (not applicable to 2008 G1G1). We recommend upgrading to the latest software. A USB mouse is a useful workaround in extreme cases.
