FWIW, my Acer Laptop reports "Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?" when using "synclient -l". Yet my touchpad works just fine. KDE has a setting for disabling the touchpad, but it doesn't work. Lucky for me my laptop has a "Fn+F7" key combination which turns off the touchpad hardware wise. -- You're Welcome Zachary Quinto -- users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/[email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
