pclos-lxde-mini-2012.12 and 50-synaptics.conf problem
« on: January 16, 2013, 03:42:38 PM »
Wasn't sure if this has been reported. Mods can move it.

Tried to run pclos-lxde-mini-2012.12 ( live via USBdrive) on Toshiba netbook NB205 and could not get any xserver. Tried vga=normal, 791,788 all kinds of stuff. Tried the auto setup (XFdrake) that comes up in text mode - nothing. Then warning says error in line 8 of /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d. There are several files in there including touchpad driver.

Something told me to look in 50-synaptics.conf and  first line is:
#fixed ( I remember there was an issue with the left edge and right edge syntax in one of the several touch pad fixes posted  a while back)

 on line 8, 9 (I think), there is a pair of quotes on the right side of options:

Option  "LeftEdge"   "120""  <--
Option "RightEdge"   "830""  <--

when it should be

Option  "LeftEdge"   "120"  <--
Option "RightEdge"   "830"  <--

nano'd the file, restarted x, loaded up fine and am going to give pclos lxde-mini a whirl.

Hope this helps someone
