 So just set this option to 4 5.

I don't think this is the OP's problem, as he seems ok with the current
mapping, given that :

Now, the mousepad
  scrolls left and right when you drag across the bottom portion of it.

seems to be normal behaviour.  (Same as many touchpads).

Dan: are you sure that horizontal scrolling is doing it?  When I
vertical scroll too quickly I get the forward / back behaviour in
firefox.  I used to think it was the touchpad doing this, but it
actually happens with real mice wheels, but a real wheel doesn't scroll
as fast as my touchpad, therefore I didn't see it as often.

In any case, I would like to know how you disable this firefox mouse /
history control also.

Try to add HorizScrollDelta0 to your xorg.conf InputDevice section for
the touchpad. That also annoyued me. Another thing is that, when pasting a URL,
Firefox automatically opens it. I rectified that by going to about:config and
setting middlemouse.contentLoadURL to false. Just thought it could be
interesting.

Re: [gentoo-user] Firefox and Synaptics mousepad

2007-08-17 Thread Sascha Hlusiak

 What I was wondering is if there is some sort of firefox setting I can
 change to disable that function?
   
about:config and mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.action (play around
with it, one value is actually for horizontal scrolling)

Right, that seems to have done the trick.  Thank you much.

[gentoo-user] Firefox and Synaptics mousepad

2007-08-16 Thread Dan Cowsill
I use an Acer laptop with a synaptics mouse pad.  Now, the mousepad
scrolls left and right when you drag across the bottom portion of it.
However, in firefox it controls the back and forward buttons.  This
has the net effect of moving be back two or three pages if I slip.

What I was wondering is if there is some sort of firefox setting I can
change to disable that function?

Thanks,

Please check /etc/X11/xorg.conf here:

# Mouse wheel mapping.  Default is to map vertical wheel to buttons 4  5,

So just set this option to 4 5.

I hope it will help.
