Hi Randy,

thank you for your reply! :)

I tried that ... but with no luck. 

The device is advertised with:

Product Feature:
- Cirque Glidepoint Technology
- High reliable micro-switches
- 2 buttons mouse clicker attached
- you could also use your finger tip to tap the touchpad. for ex: 2 taps = double click, 2 fingers tap = scroll, 3 fingers tap = Right Click
- USB interface connector
- One touch scrolling

I tried that...beside the most simple action nothing works. Since
there was no driver delivered with the device and no user guide,
I think "plug and pray" should do the magic...._should_

"One touch scrolling" and "2 fingers tap = scroll" is a
contradiction, isn't it?

Is there anything I have to configure (xorg.conf?) additionally?

Thank you very much for any help in advance!
Best regards,
mcc
