I have tried that, and I get an error message "GSynaptics couldn't
initalize. You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Conf
to use GSynaptics". Also on my keyboard is
a key labeled "Fn" which does things to the system, like brighten or dim
the screen. There
is a combination to true on/off the touch pad. The screen control works
fine the touchpad
control doesn't.
To make matters worse is I don't have the above quoted files to edit and
change 'SHMConfig'.
That is why I am playing with Samba. I also can print to windows
printers, nor mount windows
shared directories either, and I am trying to get the Linux system to be
part of the "HOME"
workgroup on the print/file server XP machine upstairs. As things move
along here I may
find other "problems" too.
