+100 from me on this issue ! I've been using an HP laptop with a Synaptics touchpad and Linux for over 2 years now. There has always been a problem getting the touchpad set up right. I DO NOT think editing xorg.conf is the answer. I have friends with similar laptops and one refused to install Linux specifically because of this problem.
In Fedora land there was a Synaptics specific driver floating around that allowed a whole bunch of adjustments for pad properties. I think its high time that a Linux distro started shipping it. These touchpads are very popular and the grief the stock driver causes is major. Just my $0.02. -- synaptics touch pad(laptop) clicks too easily https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/47971 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
