I've finally got kde working great on my laptop using xorg's x11.
(thank you very much everyone who contributed from the listserve)
Now, I'm having some very strange things happen when I try to use my
touchpad. (a synaptics touchpad on a compaq presario laptop)
After I got x11 working, the touchpad worked great in the dummy window
manager that is loaded by default. There were no problems that I could
see.
And agian, when I loaded kde for the very first time, there were no
problems with the touchpad. However, in subsequent times that I run kde,
my touchpad is behaving very strangly. It seems that every time I perform
an action on the touchpad, either moving the pointer or clicking a button,
the cursor moves ten pixels on its own. I can find no logical reason for
this. For example, if I set the curor on the middle of the desktop with
no application underneath it and click ten or twenty times, the cursor
will magically end up in the top right hand corner of my desktop. Has
anyone ever encountered this type of behavior?
It is very frustrating and I would be very grateful for any help.
Thank you very much in advance!
