X loads in my failsafe session fine with this modified driver. I tried 'synclient -l | grep RightEdge" a few different times with similar random behavior to what I described before. This system now has only X installed. I completely reinstalled Debian the other day. I only installed the x-window-system and kde and 9wm packages and their dependencies in addition to the base install. KDE and 9wm do not start, but the failsafe session runs fine. A few times when I restarted and logged in to the failsafe session, I found that RightEdge was already set to 5980 and the edge scrolling was not working. I executed 'synclient RightEdge=5980' and the synclient asked me to confirm the change like you said it would. I confirmed the change, and the edge scrolling started working. I think that this pretty much rules out any script foul play since my home directory is nearly empty due to the reinstall and *synaptics packages are no where on my system. wt -- Warren Turkal, Research Associate III/Systems Administrator Colorado State University, Dept. of Atmospheric Science -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
