thanks for your reply! i tend to disagree, once the new X automaticaly detects the touchpads (newer kernel > 2.6.10 is pretty good in detecting them) and enables them. you'll want to have the syndaemon running. the current default desktop install includes a display manager, gdm afair. so it would help newbies. of coure experienced people may want to use there own ways. personally i like to have graphical stuff on rc3, but that's what my inittab usually defaults on. the syndaemon upstream maintainer said to incorporate for the next release an overworked patch of mine, where syndaemon has a new switch for the pid-file to create. as soon as it is released, i'll send you an update init script. but i guess yes it should not be running as root. -- maks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
