| I just installed gentoo, running X and kde and everything.... I have a laptop and use the synaptics driver. Whenever I place my finger anywhere on the touchpad, the mouse will move to the top left. Why is that? |

I had some erratic mouse problems with the touchpad a while back. Here's the touchpad part of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
| Code: |
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event1"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "LeftEdge" "1900"
Option "RightEdge" "5400"
Option "TopEdge" "1800"
Option "BottomEdge" "3900"
Option "FingerLow" "25"
Option "FingerHigh" "30"
# setting taps and horizscrolldelta to 0 to rid myself of the erratic touch pad behavior
Option "MaxTapTime" "180"
Option "MaxTapMove" "220"
# Option "MaxTapTime" "0"
# Option "MaxTapMove" "0"
Option "HorizScrollDelta" "0"
Option "VertScrollDelta" "100"
Option "MinSpeed" "0.02"
Option "MaxSpeed" "0.18"
Option "AccelFactor" "0.0010"
EndSection
|
I seem to remember that (with the help of my comments to myself in the file) that it was the HorizScrollDelta being set to 0 that helped.
Hope this helps.

| Actually the mouse works fine (fine but slow) until I install ksynaptics. After that, the mouse still moves to the top left. I tried your configuration cerebus_k and it still does it.... Any ideas? |
