skater Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 built in keyboard and trackpad hang in OSX . I plugged a usb apple mouse , mouse is now working fine . Do you think it's a problem of drivers ? And do you see a solution , apart external mouse and keyboard ? For those of you who installed it on a laptop , how do you deal with the keyboard layout completely different from the Apple one ? How do you find the Command key, the Option key , etc .... ?

sigxcpu Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 trackpad + tapping (no two finger scrolling ) and keyboard are working perfectly for me. Command key is Alt and Option key is Win key.

Metrogirl Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Arobase (arobe, arobas) is the '@' symbol in French. It's actually an optional term for the deprecated "at" or "chez" in an email address. I'm not knocking the French but it seems to be another of those avoidances of foreign language influence, for example the Fr. Government won't say 'email', they made up another word for it... Here's an explanatory text which you'll understand if you know any French at all: Utilisé dans une adresse électronique, il précède le nom du fournisseur d'accès. On peut le lire chez : c'est pourquoi les Anglo-Saxons, très logiquement dans leur langue le prononcent at (=chez). En France, cela semble moins évident (essayez d'ailleurs de dire languefrancaise « chez »... chez.com. De surcroît, nous sommes gênés par ce signe, longtemps inusité dans le langage courant. En dictant l'adresse toto@glop.net, on dira plus souvent toto « arobase » glop point net (ce qui vaut mieux que l'aberrant toto « at » glop point net (tant qu'on y est, faudrait être logique... et dire toto « at » glop « dot » net¹, non ?).
