Hi  
What graphics card do you have? Have you tried the sax2 command to  
configure your touchpad?

```auto
hwinfo --gfxcard
```

You need to know the graphics driver in use when re-configuring the  
xorg.conf file via this tool.

Hi  
So the synaptics driver is installed? Have you looked at the touchpan settings with gconf-editor?

Actually the tapping function just worked the other day, and i didnt do anything about that.  
But the Scroll function is enabled as an integer, 1 is for activated, but thats not true cause i cant scroll down when needed.
