Great run down, painted a clear picture for sure.

I am embarrassed to say I have yet to encounter any left handed clients.

Thus, have yet to (experience the need to switch buttons)

But - the day will undoubtedly come. I shall dig into this a bit.

What I have learned

A little app called tpconfig , can be installed via software manager.

To use, open terminal and type sudo tpconfig.

This will allow the config of the alps touch pad.

I also see that not all kernels support alps. 3.0.0-9.14 kernel is one of the few that shows apls support via mouse tool in system/mouse.

A tutorial for installing this kernel can be found here.

first thank you guys for all the help and quick responses may i ask what are the commands for the tpconfig if its not too much trouble

[pclinuxguru]

All I could find was sudo tpconfig to start it.

Your going to have to take that and run with it using google.

let us know what you find please.

a note, it seems like about 40% of my skillz when I was working IT was derived from an ability to google

Hi
Havn't tried it, but could it not be

Code: Select all

gconf-editor

and then simply put a "check" in this

EDIT: just saw it was Gamers, so I'm not sure if it's the same there - not a gamer and don't use Lite, wont skip 2.9 until 3.0 is here
