You're welcome! :D ---- thanks for the fish I've been tracking this because I might as well figure out how to deal with the touch pad on my Aspire One and apparently KDE is lacking here without any libsynaptics. So I've looked at the man page for synclient and have been commenting out all of the various xorg.conf settings that I lifted from somewhere along the way but I can't tell that it changes anything in synclient and the man page doesn't help me much. Is there somewhere that has better explanations of synaptics/synclient/xorg.conf interaction?
