Re: Touch Pad Drivers
I had some time to do some further investigation and it turns out that I don't have a Synaptics touchpad. I have an ALPS/Glidepoint. Does anyone know about any drivers that will get scrolling, multi-finger taps and such with an ALPS? Thank you for the help, Carl Baldwin > You can get an XFree86 driver here: > > http://www.mobilix.org/touchpad_driver.html --

I thought it was really cool and have no idea where to find such drivers. Does anyone know of drivers that I could use to get at least some extra functionality out of my touch pad? Here's some extra info: I have a Dell Inspiron 8200 (with the touch pad-eraser head combo) Here is how XFree86 handles my touch pad. It works fine for the basic functionality it offers. You can get an XFree86 driver here: http://www.mobilix.org/touchpad_driver.html When I tried that driver, it seemed to work reasonably well on my Inspiron 4100. All the capablities you mention above are available. I stopped using it because there was some lag/latency that I found annoying. A couple other minor problems: The eraser-head pointer doesn't work with the driver loaded. The driver doesn't restore the trackpad to hardware mode when it exits. (I had to reboot after removing the driver to get the touchpad to work without the driver.)

You can get the source from the web. But I've never used it so I can't give you an url :-) Good Luck
