>This image is just a debian squeeze, and I installed wheezy after that, therefore I'm wondering what the difference is between that and my current system, to try and have this behaviour on wheezy. As I >said it seems that in the live image, the synaptics driver is not used. Therefore do you have any idea on how this live system handles the touchpad ?


I believe there was a change in the synaptics driver on what flags the device was getting, but essentially I had to fix the xserver udev rules to not look for Synaptics anymore in order to apply the touchpad settings. I'm running wheeze/sid and I have all the scrolls and taps and clicks working. I have a file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf with the following contents

Before I had Synaptic as the identifier, now I have just touchpad catchall
