Okay, here's how I did it, it's really easy apparently.sudo vim /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf# Example xorg.conf.d snippet that assigns the touchpad driver# to all touchpads. See xorg.conf.d(5) for more information on# InputClass.# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE, your distribution will likely overwrite# it when updating.

I have an Acer Aspire One 532h netbook, and almost everything works great.

The only thing, is that the side portion for scrolling doesn't work, and I can't do a multi-touch scroll either.

After doing a little research, I think that the computer isn't recognizing the touchpad as a touchpad, but instead thinks it's a regular mouse?

I'm currently running Mint 11, but it didn't work in Ubuntu

Hi

i have problem with my touchpad. i have ubuntu 12.04 64bit installed on HP Probook 4330s. and i try to install touchegg.

I wonder if it is possible to use a fallback driver for a synaptics touchpad instead of the synaptics driver. I have a weird problem with my touchpad (Acer TravelMate 6292), and I want to check this option out.

Under Windows (XP, Vista, 7)the generic driver works, while the synaptics driver freezes the system. I would like to try out whether the same holds under linux.

[ubuntu] touchpad delay 22 weeks 3 days ago

My touchpad was working fine. There was no touchpad lag/delay before I upgraded packages with the xorg-edgers ppa to make steam games work for linux beta.

I'm setting Fedora 17 up a new laptop with a standard synaptics touchpad. It was a standard installation, except that I chose to install xfce instead of GNOME. The touchpad has worked properly right from the start, but tap-to-click was not enabled. After some googling, I installed gpointing-device-settings and was able to configure thresholds, etc.

On my Dell XPS laptop I have one of the "ClickPad" types of touchpads, my problem is that it does not function nearly as accurately as it does in Windows.

Hey im installing Ubuntu, from within windows, for a friend who would like to try it (10.04). However, while his touchpad pointer/click is working great 1. his touchpad scroll is not working. 2.the "touchpad" tab under system>mouse>touchpad is missing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello all,

I've just installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my HP Envy 14 (first generation) laptop (first time installing Linux which is why I'm in this forum). The touchpad is giving me problems. Although basic functionality such as clicking and right clicking work, higher functions such as multitouch and (most importantly) disabling the touchpad while typing do not work.
