Flsynclient has been in the dpup exprimo from the beginning to give gui for basic synaptics configuration. synclient gives you full scale for tuning touchpad. if you type in console synclient...you get all the available options. synclient -l shows the current settings.
Syndaemon is another way to affect to the touchpad behavior.
You can disable touchpad for certain period of time when typing with syndaemon: syndaemon --help
syndaemon -i 1 -d disables touchpad for one second when typing and starts syndaemon in daemon mode.

And you can put the wanted commands to the bash script and place the script to the /root/Startup so that they will be executed with every X start...as Charlie6 stated.

Does this look like it should get the top and right edges to scroll?

[edoc]

Perhaps I am missing a step?

I opened ~/root/Startup/ on my wife's laptop.

I created a new file and named it tpad

I edited the file with this:

[pemasu]

Possibly your script is not runnable, the syntax is not right also

[charlie6]

Hi,
maybe this is trivial ...sorry then ...

just to mention that the xorg.conf created at 1st pristine boot (i.e. doing pfix=ram) does not have the «Section InputDevice» for the «Synaptics Mouse»; the above mentionned script have no effect using that 1st-boot-pristine-xorg.conf (there comes an error message like «synaptics driver not installed» ).

Xorgwizard must be activated after 1st boot to create a new xorg.conf containing a «Section InputDevice» with synaptics settings in it.

Cheers

Dpup Exprimo 5.X.3.4.2.9 has been uploaded. It uses still 3.4.2 kernel

Updates, additions and changes:
- Recent woof used.
- Firefox 14.01
- e17 - enlightenment window manager has been recompiled from recent git trunk, theme has been changed and lookout has been simplified still. The font is now bigger and uses Deja Vu Sans. Call it aging, lol.
- Pup-volume-monitor added and PcmanFM filemanager uses it. Especially in e17 wm you get from desktop PcmanFM icon clicking possibility to see partitions and drives and mount them.
- PcmanFm filemanager added as stated above. It uses pup-volume-monitor for drives and partitions
- Rerwin`s outstanding work with broadcom drivers has reached le grande finale and it should be now pure proof.
- Rerwin`s suggested woof system script fix package has been included: the post of the content and modifications is here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=633525#633525
- As a test...after discussion with rerwin...I have moved all the firmwares to the /lib/firmware from the /lib/modules/all-firmware. The reason. When the firmwares are loaded....they are copied to the /lib/firmware and that way they take some space from savefile. Also there is no need for 2 places of firmwares....they are not compressed anymore. Base sfs compresses them anyway.

- Kirk`s filesharing between puppy and other comps has been added with needed applications. There is menu item under Network. Easy way to feed big file to your home other comps. PureFTPD has been added due to this file sharing.
- Sc0ttman and stu90 have done great work with rtmpdump which streams tv and radio stations to the mplayer. I created menu entries for them under Multimedia: Streamplay TV and Streamplay Radio. Enjoy. There is atm 64 tv stations and 640 icecast stations.
- Zigbert has been busy. He has updated most of his Puppy apps and I have updated the build with them.
- Don570 has created nice Pmusic folder playlist rox right click. Thanks.
- Dhcpcd for sns and wpa_supplicant for sns and frisbee have been updated to the latest versions.
- I think couple of Radky`s Puppy apps has been updated also.
- Get LibreOffice has been updated to the latest version from the thread.
- several script reconfiguration...so that they should work smoothly with jwm and e17.
- several small fixes under the hood.....

Due to e17 reconfiguration....iso size is still about 137 MB. Not bad. Xz compression though.

Full install completed to ext4 partition

Installed twelve pets from my storage partition and made several personal tweaks.

Everything working otb - no problems

Great job

[pemasu]

Thank your majorfoo. The initial reports by you sounds encouraging. Remastering seems to behave with rerwin`s scripts. I am sure he is delighted to read your feedback.

I installed exprimo to a 4gb flash drive.
Installed devx,kernelsourcesfs,and NVIDIA-Linux-x86-304.22.run
I installed a few pets.
Did you know that VLC is up to version 2.0.3?
I'm using a vlc that I made in racy, works good in Exprimo too.
5.X.3.4.2.9 is working well so far.

Hi pemasu,

I'm really sorry to have to do this, but I'm sure you want to know.
The Broadcom 43 issues which were occurring with the earlier versions prior to 5.X.3.4.2.8 have regressed in 5.X.3.4.2.9.

I have no wifi and shutdown/reboot fails. This error occurs whether attempting to create a save file or not.

The results of pmodemdiag is attached.

[James C]

As usual, fresh manual frugal install on the trusty Athlon XP box.No problems at all...... everything working well out of the box.

[James C]

Another fresh frugal install...... again no problems.

Terry H. Thank you of your valuable report. Something is definitively wrong with my build concerning broadcom detection. But it will be fixed. I reported to rerwin about your feedback. It might be that I have missed some crucial file or then the logistics still need polishing.
