The interesting part of dmesg is this: ##################### Synaptics Touchpad, model: 1 Firmware: 4.6 Sensor: 19 new absolute packet format Touchpad has extended capability bits -> multifinger detection -> palm detection input: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad on isa0060/serio1 ##################################### I have also such a thing. I attached my /etc/X11/XF86Config The most intersting part for you is the first entry for the input=20 devices.=20 It starts with: Section "InputDevice" Driver "synaptics" Identifier "Mouse[1]" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" [...] Another important thing is the section "Server layout". Here you have to add/change the entry for your touchpad. =46or mine it's Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Layout[all]" InputDevice "Keyboard[0]" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "Mouse[1]" "CorePointer" <-- InputDevice "Mouse[2]" "SendCoreEvents" <-- these two entries=20 Screen "Screen[0]" EndSection Try whether you can do the changes on your own, otherwise mail me=20 your /etc/X11/XF86Config And don't forget to make a copy of your XF86Config before editing. Have= a lot of fun!
