Touchpad in Fedora 9.

It hurts a lot of new products included the new Fedora 9, so I walked around with it.

I will say right away that the system is good for everyone, but I was very surprised when it turned out that the emulation of the mouse click on the touchpad did not work (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=437609). This problem can be solved in two ways: manually editing the Xorg config or installing an rpm package that contains the already fixed drivers.



The first way:

opens /etc/X11/xorg.conf in your favorite text editor, and in the “ServerLayout” section add:



InputDevice “TouchPad” “CorePointer”

')

Next, create a new section, for example, at the end of the configuration file:



Section "InputDevice"

Driver "synaptics"

Identifier "TouchPad"

Option "SendCoreEvents"

Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"

Option "SHMConfig" "on"

Option "TapButton1" "1"

Option "TapButton2" "2"

Endsection



Restart the X server: Ctrl + Alt + Backspace- should work!



The second way:



> su

(enter password)

> rpm -ivh www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~bobk/packages/synaptics-0.14.6-8.1.fc9.i386.rpm

> reboot



All rejoice in life!
