The touchpad on my eee 901 works just fine (with the generic PS/2 mouse driver in x.org). I can scroll up/down when sliding two fingers over it. I can click by tapping with one finger. I can click the second mouse button when tappingg with two fingers. I can even click the third mouse button by tapping with three fingers. I've heard that the Xandros install on the 901 has more features, namely zooming in/out in applications "that support it" by sliding two fingers in opposite directions/towards each other. This doesn't work here. > I just wanted to check if anyone here is aware of any fixes or ongoing > investigation into this.

I've read somewhere that the touchpad in 901 is not synaptics but 'Alps' something. I don't know if Asus published anything, but if they did, the logical place to look for it is the source tarball distributed from their site. -- dam JabberID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Debian-eeepc-devel mailing list Debian-eeepc-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/debian-eeepc-devel
