Yes, essentially.  I haven't embraced the trackpointer yet, but this sounds
like a nice practice.  Basically, the only thing I was after was disabling
tap-to-click.  As I mentioned a moment ago, I've installed the synaptics
driver, loaded it with xorg.conf, and have a section specifically for it.
Because the driver can't find the Alps/PS2 device, it gets unloaded.

I've seen all sorts of xorg.conf entries using /dev/psaux and other devices,
but I've come to find that this driver looks for events instead.  However,
if it can't find the device, that's a moot consideration.

Christian, if you're not opposed, could I see your xorg.conf?  Once I figure
out the driver, having the right settings will be joyfully relevant.

Thanks again.

Daniel

Hello<br>
<br>
Haven&#39;t read the whole thread, but i use the trackpointer as<br>
normal mouse and the touchpad as scroll wheel (pad border)<br>
on my R61. I also disabled mouse clicks on the touchpad.<br>
The pad now only does scrolling at the border and mouse<br>
pointer position changes, but no clicking. Is that what you<br>
want?<br>
