Hi all,<br><br>I'm a newbie in the linux world, been trying various distros for 6 months and recently switched to Fedora.<br>I'm really enjoying this distribution and the community that surrounds it and so far, i've been able to make eveything work perfectly on my toshiba satellite laptop.<br>
<br>Everything but... my touchpad! I want to be able to use it but with tapping disabled.<br><br>It is viewed as ALPS Glidepoint device in Fedora's devices<br><br>I've not been able to make it happen, I tried:<br>
- installing gsynaptics, but it wont start, giving me the message : "GSynaptics couldn't initialize. You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics"<br>- I've looked into /etc/X11/xorg.conf but there is no reference to synaptics touchpad<br>
- i've pasted this sample config lines into xorg.conf with SHMConfig = true with no luck...<br>Section "InputDevice"<br>Identifier "Synaptics"<br>Driver "synaptics"<br>Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"<br>
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"<br>Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"<br>Option "SHMConfig" "true"<br>EndSection<br><br>in other distros, all i had to do was edit this xorg.conf... but what about Fedora?<br>
<br>Thanks for your help...
