I have arch installed on my old macbook(late 2008). I'm having some trouble getting the trackpad set up correctly and was wondering if anyone else with this laptop got theirs set up right? If I let it use default settings, I need to use the whole pad of my finger to move the mouse. I changed FingerLow, FingerHigh, and FingerPress to get it so that I don't have to, but the mouse randomly drifts and is hard to control. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Edit: I'm using xf86-input-synaptics

Could you post your xorg.conf and other related X config files in xorg.conf.d (i.e., 10-synaptics.conf, 10-multitouch.conf)? I have a Macbook Pro 4,1 so hopefully I can help out. You might also want to check out Ubuntu's wiki for Macs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTe … yHelpPages. You can get info from their like helping to configure X or in this case synaptics. They go by specific models as well.

I'll take a look at the ubuntu wiki now. Thank you.

$ synclient -l

Thanks. I posted it from a pastebin because I did "synclient -l | pastebinit".
If it's convenient for you, would you mine posting the config file you use? I know its the same but it'd be easier to try all at once.
Edit: for the record, this is not a macbook pro. It's a white macbook (poly-carbonate)
Edit2: nevermind. Thanks for that info! It makes a huge difference.
