    Re: Touchpad

    If you disable conn.manager does it continue to work OK?

    To anyone else who was frustrated by the cryptic "SOLVED" statement, without providing details, I can confirm I had the same problem, and tracked it down to the nowait.sh script in /etc/rc.d/slim

    At the end of this script, is a line as follows:

    Code:
    for i in `cat /home/user/.gsynaptics/syn.conf`; do synclient $i; done
    This just executes the various commands in the syn.conf file. I found commenting this out resolved the issue (using a '#' character at the start of the line). Of course, its probably only 1 of the commands in the syn.conf which is causing the problem, but I didn't have time to try them all in turn, and removing it totally seems to have done the trick.

    HTH
