Fedora Core 8

Hello all,

I have Fedora Core 8 on a Dell Inspiron 6400 and would like some help
with my mouse. The touchpad inside the rectangle has a page up scroll, and a side scroll this is messing my mouse up and causing other windows to come up from the KDE menu bar/ or mess up my typing! Both Scroll bars are way to sensitive, Can this be disabled/slowed? Or Can I have the touchpads entire surface back as one mouse?

Thanks

It is controlled in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.

Look for the section like...

Code:

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier	"Synaptics Touchpad"

There are a couple Options that should be able to get rid of the scrolling...

This should turn it off completely...

Code:

Option "UpDownScrolling" "0"

Or set VertScrollDelta to 0...

Code:

Option "VertScrollDelta" "0"

Or set the RightEdge to be way out there...

Code:

Option "RightEdge" "99999"

<EDIT>
I forgot to add... You will need to restart X for any changes to be implemented.

Thank You for the Help! I also found the 'synaptic' KDE configuration tool to be of great help as well. This tool has specific boxes to disable the vert and horn scroll.
