Have looked at the Xorg config. It shows that it's using synaptics. How do I find the synaptics driver to alter the configuration parameters. What's synclient and [gq]synaptics and where do I find them? Next question. Once I get to them are they gui interfaces or do they have to be altered from the root terminal?

apt-cache search synaptics
should answer that for you

which synclient
/usr/bin/synclient
dpkg -S /usr/bin/synclient
xserver-xorg-input-synaptics: /usr/bin/synclient

Use the tools Luke!

O.K. Got that.  Had to get tpconfig, it wasn't on the machine.
Am trying to lower the z threshold, it's currently reported at 6 of 7 by tpconfig -i. Have tried "tpconfig -Z 4" but that doesn't do anything. Then tried "tpconfig -Z4", again nothing. Then "tpcofig --threshold 4". After each attempt tpconfig -i reports
that threshold is still at 6
Suggestions
Jim
