I have a touchpad and an usb mouse. neither works the way I want them to, i.e. no scrolling. (left, middle and right button works on both touchpad and mouse.)

the only mouse thingy in xorg.conf is this,

Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"

Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
i think you need this line under your Option "Device" line

changing from ps2 to "auto", and setting zaxismapping to 45 got me a scrolling mouse. still no touchpad scroll though.
EDIT:
got a touchpad entry from a bud. dloaded the Synaptics driver as well. but still nothing. do I need to compile a kernel or whatever with a Synaptics module? |

As you can see, I don't have at all any synaptic.
But, did you add evdev synaptics to your /etc/make.conf and run |

hi. I've been on the irc a bit. I've done this with my xorg,
| Code: |
Section "InputDevice"

EndSection
Section "InputDevice"

also evdev seems to be alright. zgrep CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV /usr/src/linux/.config gave me this:
| Code: |
CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV=y

Is there any particular reason why you're not using the evdev X driver for you mouse input? I've found evdev to be pretty good for USB mice
I have this for my USB mouse
| Code: |
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "LogitechUSB"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Name" "Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse"
Option "evBits" "+1-2"
Option "keyBits" "~272-287"
Option "relBits" "~0-2 ~6 ~8"
Option "Pass" "3"
Option "Buttons" "9"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2 3 4 5 8 9 6 7"
EndSection
|
and this for my synaptics touchpad
| Code: |
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "TouchPad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "SHMConfig" "on"
Option "LeftEdge" "1900"
Option "RightEdge" "5400"
Option "TopEdge" "1400"
Option "BottomEdge" "4500"
Option "FingerLow" "25"

I see no reason to do that when my current setup works great for the mouse. the touchpad is another issue though. why is there no device option in your xorg for the touchpad? |

Hi, we gonna test something,
run this in a console :
| Code: |
# cat /dev/input/mice
|
And touch your touchpad....do you see any characters at all when you move ? |

mouse works. pretty much the same as before my first post with the touchpad though. I have evdev and synaptics, and my touchpad entry in x.org looks like this:
| Code: | Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "Name" "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
# Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"

Option "BottomEdge" "4200"
Option "FingerLow" "25"
Option "FingerHigh" "30"
Option "MaxTapTime" "180"
Option "MaxTapMove" "220"
Option "HorizScrollDelta" "0" # horizontal scroll speed
Option "VertScrollDelta" "100" # vertical scroll speed

You do need one of those, unless you specify this option later in ServerLayout section |

yeah it works now. great 
so can anyone help me set it up correctly? as it is now, the left button is the left button. the right is the right. clicking both results in middle-click. great!
but I also want it so that when clicking the touchpad itself, it acts as left-click (this works without the synaptics section in the xorg.conf). also I want vertical scroll by using the right edge of the touchpad and vertical by using the bottom edge. anyone know how to set up this? |

This is my synaptics section that works as you described (think that does not work are what is called 'tap' - 'click' through touchpad do work though)

Thinks that I particularly had adjected are
| Code: |
Option "FingerLow" "5"
Option "FingerHigh" "20"
|
somehow my touchpad + my fingers rarely generate rpressure 'force' above 90, and 40 is a frequent value for light touch.
To see what pressure values your touchpad generates *) , do
synclient -m 1
press touchpad and read off the values in 'z' column
*) as you may know it is really not the force of the press, but the surface area of the contact that is registered by many touchpads.
So numbers depend somewhat on your finger 
Traditional value for 'MaxTapMove' is 200, what I have is the leftover of my tries to make it it work (which does not on my touchpad) |

Also, try circular scrolling (which is enabled in my setup). You start scrolling on a side but then move finger to circle it around
the center of touchpad in Ipod style. |

BTW, I solved my issue with not having tap and drag feature
MaxTapTime=180
is too short for me (this is in milliseconds between tap and hold to start dragging).
I put it to
MaxTapTime=1000
and everything works beatifully. Did not try smaller values |

| what controls how close to the left edge you have to be in order to use vertical scrolling? as of now it is too close to the center for my tastes. |

Don't know of the top of my head, but
has all (unless there are some hidden) options described
And do you really mean left, and not right edge ?
Options "Option "RightEdge" "840" " may have something to do with it. Remember Touchpads, usually have 1024x768
resolutions, so the edge options as stand in my configuration take approx 130 points (or more - for the scrolling
right 1024-840=184 points !) on each for the edge.
Play again with synclient -m 1 and see the coordinates that you get when your finger is close to the edge where
you like. I noticed it is difficult (i.e requires special care) with my fat finger to get closer than 40 points to the formal
1024x768 edges. So try, say, 900 or 920 for the right edge (actually I agree it is a bit close to the center even for me,
I catch scroll accidently from time to time) |

| whops yes right edge. 920 works alright. thanks. the reason I asked instead of read is because it is a quite large man entry and I only wanted this one specific thing. now everything works according to my tastes. thanks heaps. all of yous |

I don't mind helping, the reason I mentioned man is that I was in the office without access to my notebook with synaptics and thought pointing you to man will produce faster results than me going home
BTW thanks to you as well, because of this thread I returned to the issue and made tap and drag to work. |
