Tweaking Synaptic Touchpad

Re: Tweaking Synaptic Touchpad

Check out this topic, its about someone with a slow trackpad in Debian and the last post details a solution, I imagine it will work fine in kubuntu.

I'm guessing the relevant lines added to the trackpad entry in /etc/X11/xorg.conf were

Option "MinSpeed" "0.60"
Option "MaxSpeed" "1.10"
Option "AccelFactor" "0.030"

If that doesn't solve the speed issue then could you please post a copy of your trackpad entry from /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Thanks marshallbanana - you're a blinking genius!!!

Added those 3 lines you suggested to xorg.conf.

Press CTRL + ALT + Backspace to restart X (smug feeling of satisfaction for knowing this as a newbie) and the mouse pointer is now flying around the screen.

It's a joy to use.
