[SOLVED] synaptics touch pad

so i got an EeePC 900A last night for my bday, aside from the problems i had getting started, trying out the factory install that didn't work at all, i'm loving. anyway, i got arch installed on it last night. and used the Xorg -config to generate a xorg.conf that worked flawless it seemed.

the problem i had with the configuration, is everytime i'm moving the cursor and i run out of space on the touch pad, i life my finger, and put it back down, and the cursor location resets itself or something. so i tried taking the touch pad sections of the xorg configs posted on the wiki for the EeePC's and i'm still getting the same thing

i'm guessing this is normal behaviour for it anyway? and i'm sure there's a setting to change that, i just don't know what it is

Re: [SOLVED] synaptics touch pad

if you mean xf86-video-intel, then yes, thats installed and working

as for xf86-input-synaptics, no, i only installed synaptics which is what was said to install on the EEE 901. the 700 series EEE install guide listed the xf86 package, i figured that was older being as the article is for the 700's....was i wrong to assume that?

edit// i installed the xf86 synaptics package, its working fine.
