    I installed intrepid on my AAO last week and so far its good :D

    But I want to change touch pad settings as same setting as on windows. One is corner tapp and the other is momentum.
    I assigned "right click" on left top, "back" on left bottom and "forward" on right bottom" on windows.

    I found following information on the web and understood "3" is right click". But no any information I could't find.
    <merge key="input.x11_options.RTCornerButton" type="string">2</merge>
    <merge key="input.x11_options.RBCornerButton" type="string">3</merge>
    <merge key="input.x11_options.LTCornerButton" type="string">0</merge>
    <merge key="input.x11_options.LBCornerButton" type="string">0</merge>

    About momentum, so far I have no information.

    Does any one know how I can realize those?

    The kinds of things you describe are driver settings. You can do a lot of them with a program called gsynaptics. I also wrote a guide on one of the forums that described how to do some of this.

    You're correct that the right mouse button is called "button 3" by X-windows. I don't know about 'back' and 'forward'. Are you saying that it would go forward and back in browsers based on hitting corners of the pad?

    Thanks for the guide!
    I'll try "man synclient" to get more information.

    Yes, that's what I'm saying. I have AAO windows version and ctrl panel of synaptics can assign various functions to each tapp like forward and back in browsers.

    I tried to ffind value for options below to realize forward and back in browsers. I found it :lol:

    <merge key="input.x11_options.RBCornerButton" type="string">9</merge>
    <merge key="input.x11_options.LTCornerButton" type="string">3</merge>
    <merge key="input.x11_options.LBCornerButton" type="string">8</merge>

    8 is for back and 9 is for forward.

    But eventually I coudn't set up "momentum". I think the driver doesn't have the fanction not like the one for windows.
