Hello!
I've a Lenovo 3000 n200 laptop and decided to go for Slackware 12.1 on it. The only problem I have with it is that the vertical scrolling on it's synaptics touchpad doesn't work.
I tried downloading the latest (0.14.6)
synaptics package from linuxpackages.net and installing it, then editing xorg.conf and added the line
to the "Module" section and edited the core pointer section to look like this:
Quote:
Section "InputDevice"
# Identifier and driver
Identifier "touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
# Synaptics touchpad options
Option "LeftEdge" "1700"
Option "RightEdge" "5300"
Option "TopEdge" "1700"
Option "BottomEdge" "4200"
Option "FingerLow" "25"
Option "FingerHigh" "30"
Option "MaxTapTime" "180"
Option "MaxTapMove" "220"
Option "VertScrollDelta" "100"
Option "MinSpeed" "0.09"
Option "MaxSpeed" "0.18"
Option "AccelFactor" "0.0015"
Option "SHMConfig" "on"
EndSection

But when I run startx I get the error "(EE) Failed to load module "synaptics" (module does not exist, 0)"
I checked in the /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/input/ - there's a file there called synaptics_drv.o
I also tried downloading the sources for the synaptics driver from
http://web.telia.com/~u89404340/touchpad/ , but it won't compile - make fails with the following error:

It happens even after I tried following the instructions from the post
Synaptics driver on Xorg 7.3.
Don't know what else I can try to make the scrolling work. It's the last bit I've left before I've a perfect system, so I'd very much like to fix this
So any help will be appreciated.
