Re: Touchpad on Dell

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
