Trackpad woes. [Solved]

Hello,

After setting up my Xorg and installing the proprietary ATI drivers, I have come to realize my laptop trackpad does not function at all.  I have a USB mouse that when plugged in works fine, however for some reason or another the trackpad doesn't do anything, and I am at a loss as to why.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is my Xorg:

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier     "X.org Configured"
    Screen      0  "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0" 0 0
    InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
    InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "Files"

EndSection

Re: Trackpad woes. [Solved]

Try installing xf86-input-synaptics. That should making it work, at least at a basic level. There is a wiki page if you want to tweak it smile
