Help booting a new Acer
Now it said I need libgtk-1.2.so.0 not found I did a search with no luck.
I just like Slackware because I think it teach you about Linux to build packages where Ubuntu is like Windows you just install programs you want.

Help booting a new Acer
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.

In my last message the print out was for my Dell Inspiron 1525 Laptop. When I ran that command on the Acre E15 it didn't work so that means they are not the same type touchpad. The kernel dose not have what it needs for the Acer touchpad to work or what ever it needs.

Yeah sorry Rava, I completely misread the OP. I read that he had a problem with the Dell inspiron 1525.
How do i become super user?
