Hmmmm, |

Nothing with the word "synaptics" (or either of the packages you mentioned) |
| 17 |
is installed. |

I do have a left over, bloated xorg file, so I'll first just delete |
| 21 |
the line with the (#) symbol, but, I thought that was the way to |
| 22 |
deactivate entries. Looking in xorg.conf.examples did not reveal |
| 23 |
any sort of useful infor |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Maybe somebody could post a minimal xorg.conf, or a url to some examples? |

One additional bit of information. The synaptics pad, when touched, makes |
| 29 |
the mouse(cursor) go crazy in a radom-noise-movement sort of pattern. |
| 30 |
When I stop touching the synaptics pad and use the external usb mouse, |
| 31 |
cursor movement becomes normal as expected. |
| 32 |
|

|
| 34 |
ideas? |
