Hey guys, this is my first post, but I've read many helpful articles and I would like to thank the community for all your help.
I've had Slackware 12.0 for about a week now, I also have Ubuntu and openSUSE so I have some Linux experience. But I'm stuck on this, I can't disable tapping on Slackware 12.0, I've configured the xorg.conf on Ubuntu and openSUSE and disabled it. But it's not working on Slackware.
When I boot I notice these 2 lines for my touch pad:
Nov 25 11:08:01 darkstar kernel: input: ImPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad as /class/input/input3
Nov 26 11:13:22 Hubbard /usr/sbin/gpm[2341]: imps2: Auto-detected intellimouse PS/2
I think I may need to download the synaptics driver, but any help will be very much appreciated.
Also I'm also using Xfce but it doesn't have a battery or network monitor and when I go to add to panel it doesn't have a battery monitor or a network monitor do I just run the KDE one? if so do you know where it's located? or do I have to download a seperate one?
thanks man it works, but does anyone know how to disable tapping on Slackware i've tried everything and can't find any tutorials or other topics that help.
