I hate laptops's touchpad. That's why I put this in my .xinitrc:

synclient touchpadoff=1

But let's say I can't use the mouse because I got the laptop on my lap. I know many of us don't even use the rat, but bare with me. If I ever need to use the touchpad this little script helps me:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
synclient touchpadoff=0
synclient MinSpeed=7

The MinSpeed value is to fix some acceleration/speed issue I lately experienced. Just check the output of 'synclient -l' to see how many things you can adjust to your own taste.

I love the trackpad. 8)

I make sure all the gubbins I can is enabled, well - horizontal scrolling, tap to click.
In fact that last one is important, because my left button has broken.
