I want to add some features on the touchpad so I follow the instruction of this howto http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=493758


I add

Section "ServerLayout"
InputDevice "Synaptics Touchpad"
EndSection

restart X and the resolution becomes 800x600 max again.
Is that because it overrides the SiS driver?
Thanks in advance

Have you tried adding the "Screen" variable to ServerLayout ? I think it is required when manually defining the ServerLayout section...

Hi. The "screen" variable has been added.

Before the changes my xorg.conf is:


Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
driver "sis"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"
EndSection

Then according to this howto I add the following to my xorg.conf


Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "True"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "SHMConfig" "True"
Option "LeftEdge" "100"
Option "RightEdge" "1100"
Option "TopEdge" "50"
Option "BottomEdge" "300"
Option "FingerLow" "30"
Option "FingerHigh" "40"
Option "MaxTapMove" "100"
Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "TapButton2" "3"
Option "TapButton3" "2"
Option "MinSpeed" "0.15"
Option "MaxSpeed" "0.90"
Option "AccelFactor" "0.10"
Option "VertScrollDelta" "25"
Option "HorizScrollDelta" "30"
EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen "Default Screen"
InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
InputDevice "Configured Mouse"
EndSection
After I restart x the resolution becomes 800x600 and I think that the SiS driver has been overrided.

The problem solved after deleting


InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
InputDevice "Configured Mouse"
