Hi all,<br><br>I&#39;m a newbie in the linux world, been trying various distros for 6 months and recently switched to Fedora.<br>I&#39;m really enjoying this distribution and the community that surrounds it and so far, i&#39;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&#39;s devices<br><br>I&#39;ve not been able to make it happen, I tried:<br>
- installing gsynaptics, but it wont start, giving me the message : &quot;GSynaptics couldn&#39;t initialize. You have to set &#39;SHMConfig&#39; &#39;true&#39; in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics&quot;<br>- I&#39;ve looked into /etc/X11/xorg.conf but there is no reference to synaptics touchpad<br>
- i&#39;ve pasted this sample config lines into xorg.conf with SHMConfig = true with no luck...<br>Section &quot;InputDevice&quot;<br>Identifier &quot;Synaptics&quot;<br>Driver &quot;synaptics&quot;<br>Option &quot;Device&quot; &quot;/dev/input/mice&quot;<br>
Option &quot;Protocol&quot; &quot;auto-dev&quot;<br>Option &quot;Emulate3Buttons&quot; &quot;yes&quot;<br>Option &quot;SHMConfig&quot; &quot;true&quot;<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...
