Touch pad on a Toshiba Satellite Pro

Postby dwhite » Oct 8th, '17, 23:08

I've obtained an old Toshiba Satellite Pro of ebay apart from buying a wireless mouse any suggestions for getting the touch pad to work better. I'm using M6 RC 64.

Thanks, its been a while since I used a laptop, I kind of want to scroll to page end when I go to the screen border, then scroll in screen chunks when the curser is in tool tray. I do remember years ago when I used Mandriva I was having problems they were sorted by a command line fix

that's definitely not in the trackpad config.

trackpad config is wether you want multitouch, enabled, and what areas of the trackpad should be used for scrolling, or wether you use two fingers for scrolling.
I really don't know what does what you are looking for
