The synaptics driver appears to be compiled in my kernel (v2.6.12.2), so there's no module to load for this in my setup. I copied the XF86-Config-4 from the synaptics README file -- they look a lot like what you sent here. Were you able to determine easily what the best settings for LeftEdge and RightEdge would be? That's probably key here. One thing the README file's XF86Config-4 example includes that yours does not is options for "PalmDetect", which I'm guessing is a big part of the problem I'm trying to resolve. These are the options: Option "PalmDetect" Bool Option "PalmMinWidth" int Option "PalmMinZ" int I'm not sure what values to give for PalmMinWidth and PalmMinZ. It'll probably just take some guesswork and trial and error revisions. Andy
