made. I've installed Lubuntu on several computers, desktops and notebooks. I've run synclient command in the other notebooks I installed Lubuntu and the results are quite confusing. In all notebooks I run synclient command, touchpad works properly though I have no idea if it's synaptics touchpad or not (later I'll mention something that may give a clue). First, I run it on a msi wind U100 notebook and it displayed the same result it displays on mine (Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?), though in the case of the msi wind u100 the touchpad works. I run synclient on the msi wind u100 with touchpad enabled and disabled and displays the same message. Then, I run synclient on an acer aspire 3690 notebook and a hp compaq nx9010 notebook, in wich the touchpads also work properly, and in both cases displayed what it has to. The following link mentions that msi changed Synaptics touchpad for a Sentellic one in the msi wind models:<br><br><a href="http://techcrunch.com/2008/12/04/replace-the-msi-winds-touchpad-for-under-20/" target="_blank">http://techcrunch.com/2008/12/04/replace-the-msi-winds-touchpad-for-under-20/</a><br><br></div><div>In all the cases of the notebooks mentioned above, I've checked <b>/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptic.conf</b> files and they seem to look like the one of my notebook, though my touchpad doesn't work.<br></div><div><br></div>Following several links I found in spanish (my mother tongue) about how to enable the touchpad on LXDE (I've realized I get more results if I look up how to do something on LXDE than if I write Lubuntu instead) and before posting my question on the Lubuntu mailing list (since I couldn't solve it by myself), I edited /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf adding in the section InputClass and before the EndSection line the following:<br><br>Option “TapButton1″ “1″<br>Option “VertEdgeScroll” “1″<br><br></div>It didn't worked.<br><br></div>I read the link Eric recommended, which was very interesting, and created the <b>/etc/modprobe.d/touchpad.conf</b> file it suggests with the following lonely line:<br><br>options psmouse proto=auto<br><br></div>It keeps not working.<br><br></div>I've checked permissions and owner as Andre mentioned and I got exactly what Andre said it should be:<span><br><br>-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 27 nov 26 12:02 /etc/modprobe.d/touchpad.conf<br>-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1699 nov 27 21:55 /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf<br><br></span></div>This is how it looked my <b>/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptic.conf</b> file before editing it:<br><br># Example xorg.conf.d snippet that assigns the touchpad driver<br># to all touchpads.
