Re: Need help using touchpad in laptop running Knoppix 6.2.0
Hey-
I use the DVD version, copied to the hard drive (NT partition) with a permanent /home as well; should actually perform much the same as using a USB flash drive. Using a Gateway MX6214 with a Synaptics touchpad, I can't tap or scroll, either, but the hard buttons work fine.
I believe one can use Dolphin (on the System Tools menu, up from the Main icon) to modify:
(root) /etc/X11/xorg.conf to fiddle those things around. Hope this helps!

p.s. I'd like to be able to turn "mouse gestures" off; they drive my lady crazy! Anybody know how?

I can move the cursor around but cannot tap to select or double tap to double click. The scroll-zone on the touch pad is also not working. Can anybody suggest me how to enable these touchpad actions while using Knoppix ?
If i change the wallpaper of the Knoppix desktop, then after rebooting(from usb flash drive) at a later time is it (the wallpaper) supposed to reset back to what it was in the first run ?
