I'm really enjoying this distribution and the community that surrounds it and so far, i've been able to make eveything work perfectly on my toshiba satellite laptop. Everything but... my touchpad! I want to be able to use it but with tapping disabled. It is viewed as ALPS Glidepoint device in Fedora's devices I've not been able to make it happen, I tried: - installing gsynaptics, but it wont start, giving me the message : "GSynaptics couldn't initialize. You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics" - I've looked into /etc/X11/xorg.conf but there is no reference to synaptics touchpad - i've pasted this sample config lines into xorg.conf with SHMConfig = true with no luck... Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Synaptics" Driver "synaptics" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "auto-dev" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes" Option "SHMConfig" "true" EndSection in other distros, all i had to do was edit this xorg.conf... but what about Fedora?
