Running a Dell Latitude D620 fully updated with PCLOS 2010....
"Synaptiks" installed.
Problem? The cursor moves a SMALL distance when finger moves across entire touch pad, requiring many "swipes" to cross the screen. Is there any adjustment to make cursor travel greater distance with single swipe?

If you are running KDE, you can install kcm-touchpad from synaptic that will put a module in Configure Your Desktop that has touchpad controls.

WELL... I installed kcm-touchpad and gsynaptics..... kcm seems to be accessed in "Configure Your Desktop" and gsynaptics  I had to go to /bin to get it to come up. HOWEVER.... nothing seems to cause the cursor to move FARTHER with a single pass across the touch pad. In XP one trip across the pad and the cursor traverses the entire page. Any other ideas??? n |

Development on gsynaptics has stopped and it will soon become outdated. GPointingDeviceSettings is probably a better bet. I don't think it's in the PCLOS repo's, but you can download a tarball here-- http://live.gnome.org/GPointingDeviceSettingsIf GUI options don't work for you, you will probably need to do some manual editing of the xorg.conf file. I don't know enough about the file to advise you, though. |

GUI tool for setting pointing device such as TrackPoint or Touchpad. It
allows configuring of various drivers parameters on the fly.
It is a successor of GSynaptics.

That's what I would recommend too. I use it to turn off touchpad when mouse is plugged in etc. etc. works cool. Andy |

THANKS ALL:
Solved by installing from Synaptics --GPointingDeviceSettings.
I could only access this via /usr/bin and clicking on it.
Then selecting the "speed" tab and moving the last two sliders to maximum.
Now it works great.

All these touchpad problem appear to be fixed of you upgrade to kernel 2.6.38.8 and KDE 4.6.4.

Installing kcm_touchpad (not kcm-touchpad) and adjusting some settings has solved my problem on my Asus Eee PC 900A.
