I think the GlidePoint mentioned above is the latter. Not sure what the other two are. (There's no mouse plugged in right now.) Note that gsynaptics (I think I installed it by hand) has a "disable" option that works only on the trackpad (the nipple keeps working), it can enable tapping (and change tapping speed), and can enable/disable vertical scrolling on the trackpad's edge. So it can do some detection. However, the sensitivity setting does nothing whatsoever. (Note that I think it's preferable that the sensitivity settings for a mouse/trackpad/trackpoint be separated. So the mouse settings applet shouldn't do anything with the trackpad unless it presents it as a separate option.) The sensitivity setting in the mouse applet doesn't affect the trackpoint, either. However, the acceleration setting affects _all_ of them (mouse, trackpad, trackpoint). So it's impossible to balance them out. -- Synaptics touchpad doesn't work fully after upgrading from edgy to feisty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/112915 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
