well, I have followed every lead and directions on Array.org/ubuntu
from Adam and a couple of fellas on his forum.
NO LUCK!
I mean, everything they've put together is fine BUT the touchpad issue.
The GOOD news is that I went back to Hardy, I followed Adam's lead and
I edited the xorg.conf to look like this:
----
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "alps"
# Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "0"
Option "SHMConfig" "off"
Option "TouchpadOff" "1"
EndSection
----
Changed "Protocol auto-dev for alps" and I now have the touchpad tab
on System > Preferences > Mouse.
But either using Hardy's default or
gsynaptics-elantech_0.9.7-3asus4_i386.deb, my touchpad i still active,
no matter which settings I set it to.
Any ideas about how to actually disable it?
/me wonders...shouldn't all default laptops installations prefer a
dead touchpad-click?
