Now, I'm going to try to figure out how to use my ati graphics, reverse gnome-shell scrolling, my click pad problem, and my brightness at boot issue.
Edit: I solved my reverse scrolling by using gdm. However, it only works for some programs. In nautilus for eg, the scrolling is not reversed.
Looks like with Gnome, you need to use ~/.xprofile.
Since you're using systemd, I can only think of 2 options. The easier one, you can just download the initscripts-systemd package and use the rc.service (although the wiki says its not recommended, it's the easiest fix). The other, you can create your own little script with the 1 line and create a service file for it that runs it.
What are you having trouble understanding in the wiki? The first example says it sets up the right click button. Just copy and paste it.
]]>As for the clickpad, I found this:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Touchpad_Synaptics
I do not understand whatsoever the section "Buttonless TouchPads (aka ClickPads)." This should fix my problem, but I cannot figure out what I am supposed to do.
My problems:
1. My sound is extremely unstable and delays my startup at login, sometimes to the point of crashing. Sometimes activating a flash video or animation with sound will allow the sound to work.
2. The sound icon does not appear sometimes in the gnome-shell topbar.
3. The screen starts off at the lowest brightness every time. Is there a way to fix that?
4. How do I start ~/.Xmodmap at boot? I have yet to find anything about this.
5. My touch pad: http://cdn4.digitaltrends.com/wp-conten … yboard.jpg
The bottom part is separated by a border and these parts act as individual sections of the touchpad, but on linux it all acts as one and I have major issues with touch.
I have alsa and pulse-audio both installed btw. I also have to use lxdm instead of gdm because gdm NEVER loads.
Solutions I found:
1. make/open open /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and type: blacklist snd-usb-audio
2. Solution 1
3. Wait for better upstream support for this laptop.
4. Add the Xmodmap to .config/autostart and use gdm.
5. Wait for synptics driver improvement.
