I use the same xorg.conf on several machines for convenience. It has always worked fine with the Indentifier parameter making sure that everything works properly - which it does. I guess it was confusing to include the trackball entries in a bug report, but I think they are harmless in this situation. It is not those entries that are being applied to every device: only the trackpad. Maybe that is a clue: they have Driver specified, but the Synaptics entry doesn't. Meanwhile, I have just dicovered /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf Moving it out of the way improves things, but my parameters are then lost completely. I will put that in another post. ael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
