Ubuntu 8.1: configure synaptics touchpad
Since ubuntu 8.1 xorg.conf won’t be used to configure input devices. Now XSever uses HAL directly. To configure the touchpad with gsynaptic frontend do the following steps.
- enable SHMConfig
- install gsynaptics: $ sudo apt-get install gsynaptics
- reboot
After installation, gsynaptics can be found under System > Preferences > Touchpad.
Read the community documentation SynapticsTouchpad !!!
