Hi bytevolcano, Try these commands and move each pointing device to see which id it is: $ xinput test 4 $ xinput test 7 $ xinput test 8 On my laptop at the moment id=4 is the synergy pointer over network, id=7 is the synaptics touchpad, and id=8 is the USB mouse (adaptor). > Which is why it would be helpful if the "-configure" option was in X; > with a complete config file I can tweak bits and pieces here and > there. Well, maybe try with the Xorg log file (verbose) for starters.. dunno. Here, it ALL just worked out of the box for the laptop (N280 1005HAB). Kind regards, Anton
