Also, X will ALWAYS turn off the touchpad when you swap away to a terminal. This is so that gpm and other such programs can use the device. This is normal. It should turn back on when you swap back to X though.
I will say that TouchpadOff being equal to 1 use to turn the touchpad off, however, this doesn't work for some reason now. -Eric _______________________________________________ Linuxr3000 mailing list [email protected] http://mail.kdewebdev.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxr3000
