Posted on May 30th, 2008 | by Ankur Shrivastava |I have been using Fedora 9 from a long time and it really kick’s ass but i was facing the problem that my Touchpad was not working with it but the i found the solution here
Here is how to do it
The easiest was will be to install the package http://atrpms.net/dist/f9/synaptics/
or you can do it manually here
edited the /etc/X11/xorg.conf
gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Added the following to the ServerLayout Section
InputDevice “TouchPad” “CorePointer”
add a new section:
Section “InputDevice”
Driver “synaptics”
Identifier “TouchPad”
Option “SendCoreEvents”
Option “Protocol” “auto-dev”
Option “SHMConfig” “on”
Option “TapButton1″ “1″
Option “TapButton2″ “2″
EndSection
all done logout and login again and everything should be working fine
Update: found the rpm package here
