Simple Life

As the displayconfig-gtk is not included since 8.10, it’s not that easy to change the display resolution for my Toshiba Portege R100 with Trident Cyberblade XP4.

As the touchpad of Portege R100 does not support EdgeScroll(Horiz & Vert) by default.

I would like to write how i solved the touchpad problem in case i forget.

1. backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf
2. check xorg.conf in inputdevice section, SHMconfig set TRUE
3. restart x
4. in terminal, synclient -m 1000
5. get the X, Y of left right top and bottom.
6. edit xorg.conf, add VertEdgeScroll & HorizEdgeScroll option to inputdevice section, and set to 1
7. add LeftEdge RightEdge TopEdge BottomEdge in inputdevice section and set with the 4 number got in setp 5.
8. done. restart X

This following xorg.conf works fine.

The following Xorg.conf updated on 29th May 2009, with display and touchpad support.
