After I installed Ubuntu 12.04 got some issues with my touchpad. I reported the problem and finally today a guy replied here - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/992330 It seems that the solution was good because I edited HorizHysteresis and VertHysteresis using synclient: synclient VertHysteresis=48 and synclient HorizHysteresis=48 To see if they were really edited I run into terminal synclient and just seen there the values I added. Everything is running perfectly till now. But after I restarted Ubuntu the values are gone and rolled back to default. A guy told me to edit the xorg.conf file but there is no xorg.conf file in etc/X11.

Thanks and hope someone can give me a good solution.

  • Make one according to the format shown here: http://askubuntu.com/a/126539/43660 You can create the file by typing `gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf` in the terminal. – Chan-Ho Suh May 02 '12 at 17:36
  • Made it, now I need to add only the options I want? I mean, my file should look like this `Section "InputClass" Identifier "touchpad catchall" Driver "synaptics" MatchIsTouchpad "on" Option "HorizHysteresis" "48" Option "VertHysteresis" "48" EndSection` – Dave May 02 '12 at 17:48
  • Edited with this options and values `Section "InputClass" Identifier "touchpad catchall" Driver "synaptics" MatchIsTouchpad "on" Option "HorizHysteresis" "72" Option "VertHysteresis" "72" EndSection` and is working perfectly. Restarted and the configuration is there. Thanks for help. – Dave May 02 '12 at 18:24

In the terminal, I ran 

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

and the touchpad started working; the touchpad-tab was also visible in settings (mouse).
