The touchpad is still useless.  Did I do it correctly?  Is there anything I should remove? Thanks

Hi William,
Please add the following line in ServerLayout section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf

InputDevice    "TouchPad" "CorePointer"

Then add the following lines out of ServerLayout section in the same file.

Section "InputDevice"
Driver "synaptics"
Identifier "TouchPad"
Option "SendCoreEvents"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "SHMConfig" "on"
Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "TapButton2" "2"
EndSection

Now just restart the X. I think you will be able to use touch pad then.


Thanks,
Debasish

Touchpad is not working in F9.  I installed F9 on a new Dell XPS m1530 and
no touchpad driver appeared in xorg.conf, so I went ahead and added the
synaptics driver from the synaptics INSTALL docs.  I tried the default
settings (all 20 lines), then adjusted those 20 lines per research, then
lastly tried basic synaptics settings that appear to work in most other
user's xorg (indentifier/driver).

I then tried settings based upon another Dell XPS user's settings that work.
 This is a high-end gaming XPS, but you would think the touchpad settings
would be similar.  No synaptics drivers are being used, but a more detailed
mouse driver.  Still no touchpad.

HELP!
