Thanks for reply. I went through the man pages back on F14 when I
tried then (the
example was 10-synaptics.conf). I "thought" I had it figured out but was only
fooling myself. F16 man pages look more robust but still come down to dealing with
xorg.conf.
Last night I had noticed the applications->system->mouse only had the most basic
of
settings for the mouse and no settings for the buttons. I was hoping (maybe
dreaming?) that there was a package that could be gotten with yum that would
provide an expanded interface for dealing with it. No amount of searching turned up
anything.
If nobody else knows of some such package, I'll try, once again, to see if I can
figure out xorg.conf. I struggled with it in FC5 and was very happy when Fedora no
longer required it (F8 or F9?).
Did you try the copy of 50-synaptics.conf? It isn't clear from what you've
said....
The fact that it contains:
Driver "synaptics"
and that there is a...
/lib/modules/3.3.4-1.fc16.i686/kernel/drivers/input/mouse/synaptics_i2c.ko
file suggests this would be a likely driver whose specific loading may be promising.
As for the mounting of the stick, I never thought of the tail -f of
/var/log/messages to get the info I need for doing the mount command. Its a great
idea and I thank you for suggesting it
Welcome....
