avogodro Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 hello... I am having a problem with the synaptics touchpad on my hp pavilion dv1000 laptop. I have gone into the kde touchpad setup and enabled taping but i can only tap on the right top corner... even that is quarky..(i have to tap that corner several times before it will accept the tap). I used the mandriva one disc tapping worked just like it did in (dare i mention it....) winxp. SO i am at a loss.. do i need to configure the xorg.confg file?? I am a total noob.. i have ksynaptics installed and i have qsynaptics installed too.. but i cannot figure this out .... any help would be greatly appreciated thanks Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 My Acer laptop works just fine without any configuration on my part. I also have a usb laptop mouse that works like it should, so I am certain that the os in not the issue. I did not do any set-up in kde at all. I'll try and see if I can break it and then fix it! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avogodro Posted June 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 incidentally tapping works just fine in gnome! any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 OK. My Acer also uses a synaptics pad. Everything, including the scroll device, works as is. When I look at the setup, it does not emulate a wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
