    I have installed Foresight linux and well the touch pad is just that, no scrolling or even that multitouch resizing thing. What does linpus support in that department and could someone who has a Linpus aspire maybe share with me your xorg.conf file?

    Is there really know one here running Linpus who is willing to share their xorg.conf file for me to see what X needs for the mouse settings?

    It can be more than just X settings. You need to have the X synaptics driver installed. Assuming you have the driver you need to modify serverlayout and add an inputdevice section for the TP.


    "ServerLayout"

    Identifier "Simple Layout"

    Screen 0 "Screen0" # 0 0
    ------------- add this -------------------------------------
    InputDevice "Touchpad" "CorePointer"
    ---------------------------------------------------------------
    InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
    InputDevice "USBMouse" "SendCoreEvents"

    Option "PM" # power management
    Option "BlankTime" "11" # doesn't turn off backlight
    Option "OffTime" "12" # Turns off backlight

    EndSection
    -------------- add this entire section--------------------
    Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Touchpad"
    Driver "synaptics"Section
    #Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
    #Option "Device" "/dev/input/event1"
    Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
    Option "LeftEdge" "1700"
    Option "RightEdge" "5300"
    Option "TopEdge" "1700"
    Option "BottomEdge" "4200"
    Option "FingerLow" "25"
    Option "FingerHigh" "30"
    Option "MaxTapTime" "180"
    Option "MaxTapMove" "220"
    # Was 100, larger numbers = slower scrolling
    Option "VertScrollDelta" "500"
    Option "HorizScrollDelt #Option "MinSpeed" "0.09"
    #Option "MaxSpeed" "0.18"
    #Option "AccelFactor" "0.0015"
    Option "MinSpeed" "0.01"
    Option "MaxSpeed" "0.18"
    Option "AccelFactor" "0.0022"
    Option "SHMConfig" "on"
    #Option "RTCornerButton" "2"
    #Option "RBCornerButton" "3"
    #Option "LTCornerButton" "1"
    #Option "LBCornerButton" "2"
    Option "TapButton1" "1"
    Option "TapButton2" "0"
    Option "TapButton3" "0"
    EndSection
