For some users, the default touch pad settings can be too sensitive. To adjust these settings, a utility called "gsynaptics" can be used. Complete the following steps to install and enable this utility:
- From the "Application" menu, select Accessories -> Terminal
- On the command line at the terminal, type the following:
sudo apt-get install gsynaptics
- On the command line at the terminal, type the following:
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
- Scan down through the open file and find the following line:
Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
- Insert a new line under that line, and type the following:
Option "SHMConfig" "on"
The section should roughly look like the following:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
Option "SHMConfig" "on"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "HorizScrollDelta" "0"
EndSection
- Save the file and exit
- From the System -> Preferences menu, select "Touchpad" and adjust the settings
