  <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...
