I am trying to get my mouse touchpad to work in Ubuntu. I found the link below and that got me to the file "xorg.conf" I haven'ta clue what to do in it. When I go to System/Pref/ Touchpad I get this error
GSynaptics couldn't initialize.
You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics
What do I need to change to true???
Please Help
