Just installed panther in a ibook 900. The trackpad worked fine until I plugged in my USB mouse (Macally). Now I just can't use the trackpad, it doesn't appear in the system preferences!!!!

Any suggestions???

Thanks.

the mouse and keyboard system panel should have a tab for trackpad settings...

in it, you probably have the "Disable trackpad when mouse is connected" option checked..?
