Re: Touchpad problem

So I installed a second driver in the place of the xorg driver, and now the mouse moves like really short distances. It completely sucks.

All I want is to get the xorg driver back and disable the tap to click "feature", which seems a bit too sensitive in this case.

Again, any help at all would be appreciated.

This:

Quote:
Install the xfree86-driver-synaptics package in Synaptic or your favorite package manager. The command would be
Code:

sudo apt-get install xfree86-driver-synaptics

This will automatically uninstall xserver-xorg-input-synaptics.

Next, create a sym-link to the driver in your xorg drivers directory
Code:

sudo ln -sf /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/input/synaptics_drv.o /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/synaptics_drv.o


Reboot your computer
is what I did. Please if you know how to reverse this or just modify it so that I can move my mouse more than an inch and disabling the "tap to click", I would be forever in your debt. Thanks.
