<0> MaxTapTime has to be zero.
<1> So : Option "MaxTapTime" "0"
<0> Sooo Option "MaxTapTime" "0"
<0> HAH
<0> Finally I'm catching the curve here.
<0> Just save and then it should work?
<1> after you restart X, hopefully
<0> How does one do that.
<1> Its possible that synaptics doesn't recognize your touchpad and you're in mouse emulation mode.
<1> indref: The easiest way for you is to restart your computer
<0> I see "emulate3buttons" "yes"
<0> I can restart and stay here.
<0> Two computers.
<1> great. then save your change and restart
<0> Linux isn't really supposed to be restarted, is it.
<0> It takes ages :/
<1> Not usually
<1> Most of my machines are usually up for a few months at a time
<0> Yeah, I figured that's the way.
<0> zomg it worked o0
<0> Wow
<0> I've been at this machine for a total of 24 hours
<1> Now keep your promise and go buy a book
<0> And this is the first time something has actually worked
<0> I'll by a library after this
<1> You don't want me to get tired of babysitting you on the small stuff, because then I'll be too annoyed to help you with the tough stuff.
<0> I had an idea
<0> But I want to run it past you just in case I mess everything up.
<1> ?
<0> If I edit xorg.conf again
<1> Hiring me? sure. I could use some good money.
<0> And I add a 1024x768 to the list of options for my re
<0> resolution
<0> Would that work?
<1> Possibly.
<0> I think I'd better get the driver first..
<1> On the modes line
<0> Weird thing is, my vid card is in xorg.conf
<1> 1024x768 is generally safe.
<0> But my monitor isn't.
<1> You should be able to add that mode.
<1> Is your monitor made past 1993?
<0> Heh, yeah I guess so
<0> It's a laptop LCD
<1> Ohhh. I see.
<0> Yah
<0> Source of many problems
<1> Yeah. Leave that alone then
<0> One of which I sorta fixed accidentally.
<0> Leave it alone? :<
<1> lcd's have only one native resolution. Odds are good that you're at it.
<1> what resolution are you at?
<0> 800x600
<1> Is it a really old laptop?
<0> I've had it up to around 1200x1000
<0> No, it's a Dell Latitude C800
<0> Oldish
<1> 1200x1000 isn't right.
<0> Well, I was being rough
<1> Find the native resolution for it, and add that to the Modes lines.
<0> Can't remember the exact res.
<0> How do I do that.
<0> Wait I remember seeing that somewhere.
<2> Whee!
<2> My roommate called and said "Hey, you want to hang out with some hotties?"
<1> indref: For crying out loud, google for it.
<2> And I said I was busy, because I'm writing perl scripts. :/
<3> haha
<0> The C800 is the first in Dell's Latitude line of business notebooks to boast a 15-inch screen and a native resolution of 1400 by 1050.
<2> (I didn't say that I was writing perl scripts.)
<3> that's good
<1> indref: Great. Try adding that mode
<0> Sweet...
<3> probably should have went though
<0> Save, restart?
<0> I added it to depths 16 and 24
<1> yeah
<0> Going.
<1> Where, oh where, is koules?
<1> koules II, that is
<0> Well, it looks like I'm still in 800x600 for now.
<4> jblack - Can you recommend a decent book for slackware and/or mandriva? I could just google it but you never know if the book is as good as it is selling itself
<1> Sounds like its defaulting to vesa.
<0> Yeah, I have the black border problem
<1> stwange: For slackware, the "Linux administrator handbook". The good news is that its available online.
<0> Though, for some reason, hitting Fn+F7 stretches the screen to fit.
<0> Is there a way to change the res in the command line now that it
<0> It's an option?
<1> nope.
<0> So it's just supposed to magically be 1400x1050, even though 800x600 is still on the list.
<0> http://www.linuxquestions.org/hcl/showproduct.php?product=1872
<4> No luck finding that so far, unless Red Hat Linux Administration Handbook is the same one. I'll keep trying though. What about for Mandriva?
<5> heh
<0> Oh now I'm really lost :D
<0> According to the Dell website, this laptop could have any one of thirty or so screens.
<0> There has to be a serial number or something :/
<6> any of you guys have a suggestion for a midi player?
<0> It's a little quiet in here :/
<0> I can't help, sorry.
<0> I was being helped but it got quiet.
<7> damn, I still can't figure out a way to quiet down my hard drive :(
<7> hdparm -M doesn't seem to work
<8> Slack|Ware, just a note.. Please turn off your away messages.
<9> hoody: You'll have to turn that off while you are here. Thanks.
<9> You are welcome to listen to music while you are here, just don't announce to the channel what you are listening to.
<10> Np. What`s the reason?
<9> It's annoying and no one cares.
<10> Okey
<9> Thanks.
<9> hmm
<11> lol
<0> That was great.
