<div class="Ih2E3d">> The configuration is pretty much the same as Asus default Xandros, but there, it works as expected. My guess is that Asus patched either the kernel or the xorg driver to make it work, I'm still to find out which<br>
<br>
</div>Asus patched the kernel, the psmouse driver.<br>
The touchpad is an Elantech one, so maybe they patched the xorg<br>
synaptics driver too, but I am not sure, because patching psmouse you<br>
could make the elantech "synaptics compatible".<br>
<br>
There has been some work by eeeuser forum users to make the standard<br>
(kernel) driver recognize horizontal scrolling, zooming and triple touch<br>
but most of them have problems.<br>
<br>
I tried looking to the sources, but I am no kernel developer, and I<br>
couldn't find a way to fix it. :(<br>
<br>
Bye.<br>
