Help booting a new Acer

There is a synaptic module in USM but I've never used it.
I try this synclient -l and it work. Here is the output.Ed_P wrote: ↑26 Nov 2017, 22:05Probably. Try running a script like this one:
touchpad.shBefore running the script run a synclient -l command and save the output. This will show you all the current touchpad settings for your system.Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh # To auto run at startup 1. Make a desktop file to execute this script. 2. Add file to /etc/xdg/autostart. if [ ! -z "$1" ]; then synclient -l | grep -i Palm echo synclient -l | grep -i Edge echo synclient -l | grep -i RightButtonArea echo synclient -l | grep -i Tap exit fi # https://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=1955 # https://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=5096&p=37761#p37761 synclient PalmDetect=1 PalmMinWidth=4 synclient MinSpeed=.2 # Acer 722 synclient LeftEdge=30 RightEdge=1385 TopEdge=0 BottomEdge=600 # Acer Aspire One #synclient LeftEdge=0 RightEdge=1408 TopEdge=0 BottomEdge=640 synclient MaxDoubleTapTime=180
Then run the script with an argument, something like:
sh touchpad.sh x
and note the values for the key parameters. Then run the script without an argument, this will change the key values of some of the touchpad settings. Then test your touchpad.
If not perfect tweak the settings in the script to fit your netbook. The ones in the script are for an Acer 722 model.

If synclient worked for you why do you think Acer doesn't have the same driver to make it work?? What driver is the Acer using for the touchpad?Jack wrote: ↑27 Nov 2017, 06:33I try this synclient -l and it work. Here is the output.So that mean to me that my Acer dose not have the same driver or module to make it work.Code: Select all
