Problems with buttons on touchpad
 
I have a synaptics touchpad (i think, does anyone know?) that comes with the laptop Acer Aspire 1362LC. The touchpad has two buttons and then a sort of a scroll (four directions-button).

So there should be 6 buttons. But I have only 3 buttons. I have button1 as the normal, button2 as rightclick and then the middle button (4-direction) is:
up: button1
down: button3
left and right: button2

I would like to have up and down as two seperate buttons (4 and 5) so I can use it as scroll. Does anyone have any experience with this or at least a clue on how to do this?

hi there,

i think you need to give this info to your xorg.conf file.
in the synaptics mouse section you can insert something like
Code:

Option "Buttons" "6"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "5 6"

from my head now. take a look around here. there is somewhere the correct syntax.
