I received an answer in a different group... the debian laptop list, IIRC. Trimmed down, here is what I received and what is now working for me. /begin response add this to your xorg.conf in lieu of whatever config you currently have for synaptics. Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad" Driver "synaptics" Option "SendCoreEvents" "true" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "auto-dev" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on" Option "SHMConfig" "on" Option "LeftEdge" "85" Option "RightEdge" "1010" Option "TopEdge" "85" Option "BottomEdge" "730" Option "FingerLow" "25" Option "FingerHigh" "30" Option "MaxTapTime" "180" Option "MaxTapMove" "220" Option "VertScrollDelta" "100" Option "MinSpeed" "0.10" Option "MaxSpeed" "0.60" Option "AccelFactor" "0.2" Option "HorizScrollDelta" "0" EndSection /end response My original synaptics section was _much_ smaller... 3 or so lines of content, I believe. The computer is not currently in front of me, as I installed debian for my girlfriend on this machine. Thanks for your response, rdc -- Robert D.
