The xorg 1.9 has not behaved very nicely on my laptops, while it has been=20 trouble free on my desktops. It seems that the settings in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf caus= e=20 evdev to capture the touchpad and keyboard devices and leave no chance to=20 synaptics and kbd drivers (there's also a bug with the synaptics driver whi= ch=20 is worked around by adding MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" in=20 /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf). The solution I found was to add: Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off"=20 in Section "ServerLayout" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and then comment out the=20 touchpad and keyboard sections of the /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.c= onf=20 file. After that was taken care of, the keyboard settings in xorg.conf and the=20 synaptics settings in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf started= =20 being recognised. This is my /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf: Section "InputClass" Identifier "touchpad catchall" Driver "synaptics" MatchIsTouchpad "on" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" Option "VertEdgeScroll" "true" Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "true" Option "TapButton1" "1" Option "ClickButton1" "1" Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "true" Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "true" Option "AccelFactor" "0.0010" EndSection =2D-=20 Regards, Mick --nextPart2817861.sj4GuZpUk1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.16 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAk0Y9dwACgkQVTDTR3kpaLYDJgCdH8CG07h46ilMSsjhr2YGBsUL dA4AoPh818tNwGWNHsHFHHdbjuuDiCR9 =2aVS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart2817861.sj4GuZpUk1--
