(And I think I like your solution better than disabling the whole Synaptic driver) Now that I know what to focus on, I found a wiki entry from Gentoo that describes some of these synaptic driver options http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Synaptics_Touchpad I'm going to examine this, and hopefully other docs, to see what needs to be (or can be) tweaked to get my touchpad back to working the way it did a few years ago. For example 'double-tap-drag' no longer works (ie. click'n-drag). > Some people apparently like this, but I always find it more trouble > than it's worth. Personally, I find it VERY aggravating when I go to move around on a web page, and all of a sudden the browser has now moved back 4 pages in history. Many thanks for your advise.
