    Hi,

    I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite M115-S3094. I can plug an external monitor in, and switch to it with ths FN+F5 keys, but then my touchpad is frozen, the pointer moves a little, but can't really use it. I tried toggling FN+F9 which seems to turn the touchpad on and off. Obviously the built in keyboard is working if it's letting me use the FN keys. I tried booting with the laptop off even so it knows the monitor is there. What am I doing wrong? Thanks much.
