Thanks Alex, I will expand and make my query more relevant to the fink list.

Using an intel macbook, I normally use the touchpad at the base of the keyboard rather than attaching a mouse (I find I have less problems with RSI this way).

When you port a linux application to run on OS X under X11, the touchpad
control of the window is lost. I cannot do a two-finger scroll of the
window using the touchpad on my macbook laptop. I have to click-drag on the
side window bar. I am using X11 2.1.1, the latest version.

I have found linux web pages that show how to edit an xorg.conf file
to modify touchpad function (to do almost anything!), but I haven't seen how to do this under
OS X. I would appreciate any advice here.

Why doesn't the (intel) macbook touchpad work on an X11 window? Is
there an easy way to get it working?
I've also had variable success with the scroll wheel function using a
mouse.
I have tried looking through the archives and the web, but I can't see
an answer.
thanks, Mike D-S

I'd think this was more a matter for Apple's lists than ours, but for
interested people please define what you mean by the touchpad "not
working" in an X11 window.
