What do you want to change? I have one, it scrolls and clicks ootb.
What else should it do? Apart from move the mouse pointer?

For example, what is "EdgeMotion"? I wanted to avoid asking for particulars, because there's always another question. Judging from the lack of response, the document that I'm looking for does not exist :- (The (exhaustive) list of options is in synaptics(5).


When I move my finger around in and from the "middle" of the touchpad, the mouse cursor moves.

When I move my finger on the (user's) right side, the window scrolls. EdgeMotion would be tuning that behaviour.

I can also tap, for mouse-clicks.

I don't know what else works on mine, I need to read the man page at the laptop.

I have a high-end ThinkPad R40 (as evidenced by its fittings), and also has a three-button+joystick "ultranav" device.
