I'm having trouble getting the touchpad on my laptop to work under
debian woody
My laptop is a Gateway Solo 1200, and it has a synaptic
when i used dpkg-reconfigure on xserver-xfree86 and set it up as a
default ps/2 mouse, the cursor only moved about in about a 640 x 480
section of the screen (im running in 800 x 600 mode), and the actual
selection point of the mouse is several inches off from where the cursor
is (i.e. when i move as far over to the bottom right as i can i can
click on the bottom right part of the screen, even though the cursor is
not there)
when i set it to GlidePoint, the cursor was still bounded to the small
box, but it moved very very slowly about
then i tried using gpm to run my mouse, and so i set it to its default
settings and the cursor only moved left and right and clicked randomly
when i moved around
so i tried configuring it to be specifically like my mouse (the
synaptics settings, i tried both) and the mouse didnt respond at all
what do you suggest?
