Curt, did you get this fixed? If not, does adding the line: Option "TouchpadOff" "1" switch off your touchpad completely?

Ok, here's the solution: I had to add back the Server Layout section, as well as the Synaptics Touchpad section, into the new minimalist autoconfigured xorg.conf: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad" Driver "synaptics" Option "SendCoreEvents""true" Option "Device""/dev/psaux" Option "Protocol" "auto-dev" Option "VertEdgeScroll""false" Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "false" EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen "Default Screen" InputDevice "Generic Keyboard" InputDevice "Synaptics Touchpad" EndSection so that the generic mouse would not be used. Without adding the Server Layout section, X always chooses the generic mouse, even if the Generic Mouse section is commented out. Unlike more recent touch pads, my 5-year old laptop has a smallish touchpad, so I continually ran into the scroll areas, causing switching between tabs in Konqueror, or bringing up many minimized applications if the mouse was over the task list. Hooray! So there are three things I must add to the xorg.conf: Synaptics Touchpad section, Server Layout section, and "Driver "nvidia"" to the Device section. But it is still a much, much more simplified xorg.conf than it was, that's for sure.

I'm not shure if it will help, but I think, as I configured some other things with the touchpad, it just worked after doing this.

I tried copying in the "Synaptics" device, just like in the previous xorg.conf, and also as settings inside the "configured mouse". Neither made any difference. I also discovered that while KDE will let me change the magnitude of the scroll events, it will not allow me to turn them off. I cannot set "scroll" to "0", only "1" or more.

X still respects those settings, so far as I know, it just doesn't *need* them anymore. A signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Re: Turning off touchpad "scroll"
you should try loading the synaptics driver install it first i don't remember exactly the steps, but it is something like that! it seems that the synaptics drivers are not installed by default in laptops anymore cheers!

Turning off touchpad "scroll"
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi. Up to date Sid. Back before the recent changes in X, I had put this in my xorg.conf: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad" Driver "synaptics" Option "SendCoreEvents""true" Option "Device""/dev/psaux" Option "Protocol" "auto-dev" Option "VertEdgeScroll""false" Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "false" EndSection and the very annoying "scroll" areas were gloriously gone. But now, after the change in X where most of the specific configuration options are autodetected, I'm back to having "scroll" areas. So I put the following into the only place available in the new xorg.conf Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "VertEdgeScroll""false" Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "false" EndSection but the annoying "scroll" remains.
