Touchpad trouble.

Tue Nov 24 14:34:34 UTC 2015

Following the instructions of Eric's Link, you might need to create the*
/etc/modprobe.d/touchpad.conf *file, than put the content:

options psmouse proto=auto

After that create */usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-touchpad.conf* with the
content:

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "touchpad"
        MatchIsTouchpad "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "synaptics"
		Option "TapButton1" "1"
		Option "VertEdgeScroll" "on"
EndSection

Check for files ownership and permissions.. Than reboot to test!

>> Sorry for my ignorance but is xorg.config a file itself? What I've found

>>> I'll begin with the general information:

>>> Lubuntu
>>> I'm using:
>>> Distributor ID:    Ubuntu
>>> Description:        Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS

>>> (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

>>> - Processor: Intel? AtomTM Dual Core N2600
>>> - Chipset: NM10 Express
>>> - It's brand name is OLIDATA (kinda unknown world-wide, actually)

>>> lshw information about isa bridge, ide interface and some usb
>>> controllers
>>> confirms some of the information of the brochure mentioned above:
>>> usb:0

>>>     fabricante: Intel Corporation
>>> I also run synclient command as Brendan suggested and got this answer:
>>> *Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?*
>>> 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.
