lxde touchpad

[Uggla]

Hi!

My touchpad scrolling didn't work after installing lxde. I managed to get it working by installing and running gpointing-device-settings. My problem is that I need to run gpointing-device-settings after every boot. How do I get my touchpad settings to stick?

Automatically start some applications on login
Both LXSession and LXSession Lite support freedesktop.org Autostart spec. Put *.desktop files of those applications in ~/.config/autostart, and they will get executed when the session starts.

Ok, but what command should I put there? gpointing-device-settings has a gui.

Ah, my missunderstanding.  I thought you simply had to run it after every boot, not actually change settings and such.

There's something here but the solution looks a bit geeky.

Uggla,

I'm not running LXDE, but I also have had similar questions about some GUI apps in XFCE.

It may be particularly useful to attempt to run gpointing-device-settings --help from a terminal session. This should reveal any command line options there may be. One of them may be what you are looking for.

I hope this helps!

The touchpad onmy netbook is real sensitive with LXDE, Gnome and on any of the distros that I have tried on it. I found that by putting a fdi file in the etc/hal/policy directory you can adjust the touchpad with the options in the file. You may have to adjust the settings to get your touchpad to your liking but it will get you started.

You can also install Qsynaptics to adjust the speed of scrolling both vertically and horizontally.  You can also disable tapping to confirm.
