anyweb 490 Report post Posted November 4, 2007 * disable synaptic (if you have a laptop) to do this as root edit this file vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf and rem out the first line with Synaptics in it # Xorg configuration created by pyxf86config Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "Synaptics" "CorePointer" so it looks like this # Xorg configuration created by pyxf86config Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" # InputDevice "Synaptics" "CorePointer" save the file with :wq then restart X (ctrl_alt_backspace) now when you are using the touchpad in firefox or whatever you'll be happy to notice that your webpages dont jump back/forward for no apparent reason (so annoying). * change the font size ! when I installed this on a laptop with 1280x800 lcd, the font size was crisp and clear and BIG, very big compared to even F7, so I wanted to make it a bit smaller, to do so click on System, preferences, look and feel, appearance, then click on the fonts tab. I changed the values from point size 10 to 8 for all listed options, I also selected the LCD smoothing option. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
glennzo 0 Report post Posted November 6, 2007 Nice!. Maybe this is why the mouse pointer just disappears while I'm happily typing away. Seems to go off to never never land. I have to find it and bring it back 'over here'. I'm going to give this a try. Pretty freakin' annoying.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
