Touchpad trouble.

Tue Nov 24 14:17:52 UTC 2015

There is no */etc/X11/xorg.conf* in Lubuntu by default...

In Ubuntu, this file is replaced by others files begining with numbers
inside the directory* /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/*

You can create any file with the *xorg.conf* file format inside this
directory. The number on filenames is only for processing order...

>> Israel and Brendan:
>> Thanks you both for your answers and sorry for the lack of additional
>> information.
>> I'll begin with the general information:
>> - lsb_release command displays the following about the version of Lubuntu
>> I'm using:
>> Distributor ID:    Ubuntu
>> Description:        Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS
>> Codename:        trusty
>> - I'm using the 32-bits version of Lubuntu though I've recently
>> discovered
>> (running dmidecode command) my notebook supports 64-bits.
>> - dmidecode and lshw commands display the following about Processor and
>> Base Board:
>> Processor Information
>>     Version: Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N550   @ 1.50GHz
>> Base Board Information
>>     Manufacturer: INTEL Corporation
>>     Product Name: Tiger Hill
>> However, according to a brochure I have, my notebook has the following:
>> - Processor: Intel? AtomTM Dual Core N2600
>> - Chipset: NM10 Express
>> - It's brand name is OLIDATA (kinda unknown world-wide, actually)
>> lsusb command displayed the following:

>> Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
>> I also run lshw command but it dislpayed a lot of info and I really don't
>> know which one would be usefull for this purpose (usb, pci, isa, ide...)
>> lshw information about isa bridge, ide interface and some usb controllers
>> confirms some of the information of the brochure mentioned above:
>> usb:0

>> Best regards

>> Walter,
>>
>> I'm no expert on track pads, but whenever I've needed one to work, or
>> work better; I've almost always had to mess with/create an xorg.conf file
>> to address it.
>>
>> gksudo leafpad /etc/X11/xorg.conf
>>
>> Searching the Internet for your laptop specs led me to believe it's very
>> similar (if not the same computer without a famous name) to an Acer Aspire
>> D270. So, if you find an xorg.config for that laptop, you may want to try
>> it and/or tweak it from someone elses.
>>
>> And even though the following page is intended for Gentoo Linux (so a lot
>> of it won't apply), it includes an xorg section that seems to address the
>> trackpad among other things. You may want to check it out.
