@Mats Rauhala: Will need to try that. :)

@Matt`: Yeah, I love that edge scrolling thing. It works just fine on Ubuntu too. I have no clue how people were using the internet on the laptops without mice before we got that feature. Scrolling pages actually using touch-pad and the scroll-bar is a fucking torture. :)

Sounds like we both like our touchpads the same way… sensitive enough to swipe from corner to corner in one motion, and no goddamn tap to click.

One thing that took me a while to figure out was the “Virtual Scrolling” area down the side of the pad… kept accidentally scrolling when I didn’t mean to until I found out that this was actually a feature (and after that point I realised it was a very useful feature).

This is all on Windows though, so I have settings windows all over the place (ner nee ner ner ner :P)

By the way, if you add SHMConfig to your xorg.conf you could use synclient to interactively change your synaptic settings.

My laptop hibernates perfectly using ACPI. The soluction? TuxOnIce. I don’t know if it’s the default hibernater in Ubuntu, but in Debian after patching and recompiling the kernel hibernation works great!

My laptop doesn’t have a touchpad, but the “joystick” thing works for me, well, that and using mostly zsh, vim, vimperator and muttator.
