I updated my laptop from fc8 to fc9. Due to dependencies, I had to
remove gnome-panel. I reinstalled gnome-panel and all the other stuff
that was removed, but apparently, I missed something.

My touch pad continues to work as a mouse, however, I cannot use the
mouse pad as an enter key. I cannot double-click on the mouse pad as a
select tool.

Can anyone tell me where/how this is controlled in gnome? Is there some
"manager" I need installed which might have been inadvertantly deleted?

Thanks,

Jim

Try this: Start [Applications>Sound & Video>PulseAudio Volume Control],
right-click on your favorite sink, select "Default".

Thanks for the additional advice. Know nothing about "yum-utils" and
will look into after trying the "yum install tcsh".

"F9 Login theme" was discussed in May. You can read it at

In a recent issue of Salon, I read:

This appeared in:

They're talking about Flashblock I believe (the article even mentions
the name near the end):

Hello guys,i have problem with my touchpad (Asus notebook F3Series) on Fedora 9

gsynaptic for GNOME. I'd guess ksynaptic for KDE.

synclient is a command-line one.

To use any of these, you need to preconfigure xorg.conf with the
SHMConfig line in the InputDevice section.

from: matthew saltzman
date: 08/17/2008 12:48 AM

Sorry, that's gsynaptics and ksynaptics (ending in 's').
++++

there is no post that problem was cured, but entire thread does give
info to check your xorg.conf and sample configs.

so, i would say check fedora site for bug and have a look at entire
thread. or sit and wait to see if any of previous poster note your
post and reply.

also, i you like, i can send you entire of thread that i have.

Ken,

Thanks for your input. It helped me solve the problem. It turned out
to be with the rsync not copying all the files over. I should have
used "rsync -axXv"

You would think there would be more interest in this, but go figure.

Ah....right-click....Thanks!

A tad unintuitive, but works great!

Ad block is a blacklist (you ad stuff you want blocked).
Flashblock is a whitelist (blocks all flash, you add things you will let
run).
I personally prefer the latter.

NoScript is also very useful.

BTW, in FF3 (on a Mac) the block menu item appears to be missing from
mousing over the flash (it's available in FF2). Does anyone know about
this?
