 |
|
I've got a spiffy, slightly-used Compaq 1800T. It's got one of those freaking touchpads. I installed X and fluxbox and ran an 'X -configure' and got myself a nice, shiny, new XF86Config. I happily started fluxbox up and everything went fine, until I tried to move my mouse, which is to say not very long. Once I did, the mouse pomptly sat itself in the upper right hand corner with a menu and not did come out no matter how much I begged or pleaded it.
I searched online and found a few config files that had supposedly worked. Eew, RedHat. Anyway, they performed the same miserable way, and I'm left with a really nice centericq terminal but not much else. Is there any fine-tuning I can do to change my mouse's responsiveness or am I up shit creek?
Update: It's not just fluxbox - WindowMaker is also showing these symptoms.
The touchpad is a Synaptics. |

| Well, problem resolved: I downloaded a program called 'tpconfig' (don't have the address on hand) and turned the tap-click feature off. Everything works fine now. I'm working on an ebuild. |
