    Touchpad issue

    How would i go about updating my touchpad driver? The damn scroll bar extends about two inches too far and takes up 3/4 the entire pad.

    Re: Touchpad issue

    Do you have ksynaptics installed? It is available from the repositories. A function of ksynaptics is to configure the borders of your touchpad. I had to add a line to my xorg.conf and restart X to get it working. I then configured the borders following the instructions.

    For reference here is the touchpad section of my xorg.conf

    Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
    Driver "synaptics"
    Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
    Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
    Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
    Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "0"
    Option "SHMConfig" "on"
    Option "MaxTapTime" "0"
    EndSection

    The SHMConfig line allows ksynaptics to control the driver. The MaxTapTime removes the tap to click (which I find extremely annoying)
