Hi List;

I currently have a fresh install of FC3 on my laptop. I have had FC3 and FC4
installed previously. The last time I ran FC3 I had the touchpad working as
such that I could use the right edge of the touchpad to scroll up/down and
the bottom edge of the touchpad to go back/forward in a web browser. I could
also tap the touchpad for a mouse-click

I really did not like the bottom edge doing the forward/back thing - it caused
more issues than it solved but I did like the scroll feature and the tap
capability.

With my new install of FC3 the tap feature works but not the scroll. I've
tried starting the X-server with both the default FC3 xorg.conf file and the
modified xorg.conf file that I used in my previous installs.

I've attached the default FC3 corg.conf and the modified one from the previous
FC3 install (when it worked). Anyone know how to get the scroll feature
working ?

# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
