I am using evdev and synaptics only on a thinkpad t201. Without an
xorg.conf, all works including when I connect an usb mouse. However I am
trying to configure the touchpad, trackpoint and extended buttons to
work as left-hand; that is I would like to have the 3 buttons reversed.
I have not been lucky so far. In fact I've read on the web about some
new (relative to xorg 1.7) syntax for the xorg.conf file. Does anyone
know about a site with humanly friendly information on how to write a
modern xorg.conf file? In addition to the devices I mentioned above I am
also trying to setup an external monitor as a hotplug virtual screen.
For instance, things like this do not work:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "TouchPad"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
Driver "synaptics"
#Option "SHMConfig" "on"
Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "on"
EndSection
In the past I used
Option "ButtonMapping" "3 2 1"
which apparently does not work here. Last but not least, how do I get
the good old ctrl-alt-backspace keybinding to kill X?
Thanks,
