I've been experiencing exactly the same problem since I upgraded to Gutsy. MetaMorfoziS, your solution is great, but I decided to make it a little simpler.
After running Ksynaptics to ensure that your touchpad is configured the way you want it, just run the command: synclient -l > svn.out And you have all of your settings in a text file. Now all you need to do is create a little batch script. I called it "set-touchpad" vim set-touchpad And just cut and paste the following: #!/bin/bash while read LINE ; do synclient ${LINE// /} done < svn.out This script will remove all of the spaces from your text file and then use it to reconfigure your touchpad by passing the settings back to synclient. Don't forget to make the script executable, and then put both files in ~/.kde/Autostart and you're set. chmod 755 set-touchpad cp set-touchpad svn.out ~/.kde/Autostart/ If you ever change your touchpad settings don't forget to create a new svn.out and to copy it to your Autostart directory. Thanks again to MetaMorfoziS for the inspiration! -- Touchpad configuration (ksynaptics) has no (permanent) effect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/109586 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a bug contact for ksynaptics in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
