Win7 - How to emulate middle-click mouse in Synaptics tuchpad with 2 buttons only

In win7 to do so:

Open regedit (registry editor) and create a DWORD 32 bit with the name 'HasBothButtonFeature' with value 1 at the location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Synaptics\SynTP\Defaults\

log off and log on and you will be able to emulate the missing third button of touchpad pressing both the other buttons.

Riconfigurare Xorg.conf su Packard Bell EasyNote TK85

Dopo fresh install Ubuntu 12.04 e installazione bumblebee per gestire Nvidia Optimus, Xorg non piu funzionante

da Xorg.0.log

non trovava piu i driver di nulla, quindi rimetto almeno quelli intel

fem@ordinateur:~$ sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel

e qualcosa rivà ma niente touchpad (si mouse usb) e risoluzione sballata

editare xorg.conf e portare risoluzione a 1366x768

riavviare X , ctrl-alt-F1 killandolo /usr/bin/X

ok risoluzione touchpad nada

fem@ordinateur:~$ sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

riavviare X , ctrl-alt-F1 killandolo /usr/bin/X
