xorg.conf -<br> <br> Section "ServerLayout"<br> Identifier "Default Layout"<br> Screen 0 "aticonfig-Screen[0]" 0 0<br> InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"<br>
InputDevice "Synaptics" "CorePointer"<br> EndSection<br> <br> -----snip-----<br> <br><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> <br> Option "LeftEdge" "120"<br>
Option "RightEdge" "830"<br> Option "TopEdge" "120"<br> Option "BottomEdge" "650"<br> Option "FingerLow" "14"<br>
Option "FingerHigh" "15"<br> Option "MaxTapMove" "110"<br> Option "VertScrollDelta" "20"<br> Option "HorizScrollDelta" "20"<br>
Option "MinSpeed" "0.3"<br> Option "MaxSpeed" "0.75"<br> Option "SHMConfig" "True"<br> EndSection<br> <br> ---snip---<br> <br>
You seem to be missing the "CorePointer" bit in "ServerLayout"<br> <br> You don't need to use tpconfig or anything else - just use yum and<br> have synaptics, libsynaptics and gsynaptics installed.<br>
<br> The only thing I did notice about your xorg.conf is that you seem to be<br> missing a space between "SHMConfig" "True". I don't know if that makes<br> a difference or not -><br> <br><br> Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"<br>
Option "SHMConfig""true"<br> EndSection<br> <br> <br> <br>Hope this helps you out!<br> <br>Bill<br> <br><br> _______________________________________________<br> Fedora-laptop-list mailing list<br>
