Getting close to solving the issue that has cropped up a lot before about configuring the synaptic touchpads (based on several other threads that all seem to talk about the same problem). I have installed the latest xorg synaptic drivers, and created the following file as /ect/X11/xorg.conf
However, according to the following information, I must also configure the kernel:
I have located the appropriate pathways to those files in the kernel (CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV and CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2). However, I take it I'm supposed to open them with some program other than gedit, because in order for me to activate them, I must "say Y", which can't really be done on gedit. How do I go about modifying those files and "saying Y"? And thanks for the help so far guys! |

And after doing some research in the area (and seeing nothing on how to modify a kernel), I guess another question would be, is it possible to modify a kernel that's already installed, or will I need to go through the process of downloading, configuring, and reinstalling another kernel?

Never mind; looks like the kernel is already configured. I guess the problem is elsewhere.....
