Re: touchscreen issue
Thanks all for the replies. If I submitted here for a bug, this was because tools for KDE or gnome didn't make the "tap" tool to work. And since now xorg.conf doesn't come by default with xorg, I didn't thought about it. Thanks ael for pointed it, it did the job !

I think that you just need to include the appropriate InputClass section in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf. For example. on my netbook I have: Section "InputClass" Identifier "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" Option "LeftEdge" "1700" Option "RightEdge" "5700" Option "TopEdge" "1700" Option "BottomEdge""5100" Option "FingerLow" "25" Option "FingerHigh""30" Option "MaxTapTime""180" Option "MaxTapMove""220" Option "VertScrollDelta" "100" Option "MinSpeed" "0.09" Option "MaxSpeed" "0.6" Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "true" Option "TapButton1""1" Option "SHMConfig" "true" EndSection Obviously these parameters may not be suitable for your touchpad, so you will probably need to modify the entries. lshal should show you the right Identifier string for your system. This is probably better (more fundamental) than using any xfce/gname/kde tools that may or may not exist. Also likely to be more flexible. This is not amd64 specific: rather an xorg question. I don't know a good way to support the touchpad properly on standard (non-X) terminals: gpm seems only to do treat the pad like a mouse. ael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-amd64-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

touchscreen issue
Hello, I don't really know where to ask for it. So I start on this list. The touchpad of my laptop works well, but I can't make the "click on the touchpad works", meaning I must use the touchpad buttons to click, double-click and so on. If I select a file with the touchpad for example, and then tap on it with my finger, (or double tap), the file doesn't open. Hope I was clear in my explanation. I use up-to-date Debian Squeeze amd 64 with packard bell easynote LJ61 laptop. The touchpad is a synaptic. I tried to configure it with different tools but without success at all. For information this worked well on Debian ix86 version. If you think this bug belongs to another list (ie Xorg list), please let me know.
