Aspire One - touchpad tapping doesn't work

As per the title, I can't get the touchpad tap or double-tap to work on my new AA1 AOD150.  The touchpad buttons work OK however.  Has anyone else experienced this on these or similar devices? 
I'm using the stock kernel with the following xorg.conf:

Ah ha! Thanks, I'll give that a shot when I get back to my office.  Thanks too Andy, if all else fails I may have to go with hal/xorg, but I'm leaving that as a last resort.
Update: That worked great, thanks again ichbinesderelch!

    Hello everybody,
    I would like to copy all the songs from one Ipod into another. All the songs are into my Itunes account, I tried to drag and drop the songs from the old Ipod to the new one but it doesn't work. Is there a way to do it ?
    I share one Itunes account with other people from my family and one person would like to keep the same songs on the new Ipod as the ones which were on the old one.
    Thanks in advance for your answer.

    Thanks for your answer. I was hoping for an easier answer. Too bad there is no drag and drop solution, it would have been much easier.

  • The touchpad scroll doesn't work in visual studio?

    Hello,
    As I mentioned in the title, the touchpad scroll doesn't work or affect visual studio community. The scrolling works very well with other software but it doesn't with visual studio community. This same button worked with VS 2010, VS 2012 (It stopped sometimes
    but still functioning correctly most of the time), and stopped with 2013 versions. Why? 
    Take a look at the video to see the problem in action: http://youtu.be/Qt20pM6ZQAo
    Thank you for your comments!

    Scroll button on what? Are you using a mouse with a scroll wheel, or is this a laptop touch pad?
    If the latter, please read here:

  • I followed the instructions for restoring bookmarks from an older Firfox to a new one but it doesn't work.

    I'm trying to get my old bookmarks installed with Firefox on a drive holding Win xp to Firfox installed on a different drive holding Win 7. I followed the backup and restore process in the Firefox help file but it doesn't work. Help will be appreciated because I have a slew of bookmarks that I would like to use with Win 7.

    If you need to merge bookmarks then you need to export the bookmarks to an HTML file and import that file on the other computer.

  • HP 8650w Touchpad light doesn't work.

    The light in the upper left hand corner of my touchpad of my new HP Elitebook 8560w doesn't seem to work and considering how large the touchpad is i would really like to turn it off when I'm typing. Is there a specific driver I should or need to  (re)install to get this function to work?
    Many thanks,
    Jamesn6 

    Hi,
    Uninstall the current driver for the SynapticsTouchpad and restart the system.
    Resource:

    Uninstall or change a program in Windows 7
    Download and install the latest SynapticsTouchpad driver here.
    Restart the system and check the result.

  • Repeat one song option doesn't work correctly

    Ok I hope I can explain this correctly.
    On my iPhone, if I want to play one song on repeat while I'm in the shower or something (maybe working out)...I start up the iPod app, and hit "play". It plays that song, but then doesn't repeat.  It moves to the NEXT song, then it repeats THAT song indefinitely.

    Hi Hannah,
    You do not say which options you have changed to try using a different language, but there are several options which do slightly different things.
    If you go into Control Panel and select "Regional and Language Options", a new window opens with 3 tabs across the top. Choose "Languages" (the middle one), then press the "Details" button. This opens another window which allows you to view and change settings including the current input language and keyboard settings.
    Changing some of these settings will not make any difference until you reboot your machine.
    I hope this helps, let us know how you get on!

  • One of cloud doesn't work in failover with Event ID 1205 and 1069 and unable to move services and application another node

    Any one please respond.
    I've been working on creating a windows server 2008 R2 cluster for about a month now and I keep getting an error whenever I try to add a 2nd node. I keep
    getting The cluster node is not reachable. However, when I validate the configuration, everything goes through success. I created and destroyed the cluster a couple of times, but no luck. I even re-installed Windows Server 2008 R2 on both servers, re-configured
    the iSCSI, and the same warning keeps coming up. 
    I installed a new a new SQL Server 2008R2 Named Instance on an exisiting SQL Server cluster node (Node 1 &Node2). When I try to manually fail
    over 
    the Services and applications  to another node (Node1 to node2) using Failover Cluster Manager, I get the errors
    The cluster has these Events:
    Event ID
    1069: Cluster resource 'IP Address xx.xx.xx.xx' in clustered service or application 'ClusterDtc' failed.
    Event ID 1205:The Cluster service failed to bring clustered service or application 'ClusterDtc' completely online
    or offline. One or more resources may be in a failed state. This may impact the availability of the clustered service or application..
    Why the cloud server doesn’t move to node2? you can see screen shorts below.

    after creating cluster I got below errors.
    Any info you might know would be really helpful.

    Dear Ravikumar
    From clone support they given reply mail...
    mail from Ramu...
    That would be a typical work around in this situation. But what we intend to do cannot be accomplished through this work around as we need the validations to complete successfully.
     We are looking for an option either to get the driver signed or use a different signed adapter for the same. Could you please suggest us something on that line. 
    Mail from Support....
    Hello,
    Unfortunately this is not something that we would be able to do in a virtual environment; You are welcome to try different drivers however we would not be able to provide any support 
    for untrusted drivers. The only true solution would be to upgrade from a VM to a dedicated server where you would have control of all the drivers as there is no virtualization layer to
     contend with. Stepping into the territory of untested drivers for a custom configuration in a virtual environment will certainly prove to be an uphill battle.
     I would advise contacting Microsoft's support for additional assistance as they will be able to provide the most accurate information regarding this concern.

  • Envy 100 eAll-in-One D410a (US) doesn't work with cartridge HP300 (Europe)

    Hi all,
    I bought a HP Envy 100 eAll-in-One (CN517A) D410A in 2011 when I was living in the US. I always used HP60 cartridges without any problems while in the US.
    In 2013 I was relocated to Europe (Luxembourg), and recently my last supply of US-bought HP60 cartridges run out, so I went out to buy new ones. HP60 is not available where I live, so I bought HP300 which explicitly says on the box that it is suited for "HP ENVY ENVY100 D410a". However, when I put them in the printer I get a "The cartridges listed above are not intended for use in this printer as it is currently configured." error on the printer.
    I tried the eight solutions as explained here:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02436437&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la...
    None worked. I put back in my old HP60 cartridges and did no longer get the error message and I can print (but poorly because these cartridges are almost empty).
    Could it be that the HP300, by design, does not work with the US-built printer that I have even though the HP300 packaging box clearly says it should? Is there a way to make it work (firmware update?), or do I need to either buy HP60s from the US or get a new printer here in Europe?
    Any clues or pointers to a possible solution would be greatly appreciated!
    Kind regards,
    Paul

  • Airport Extreme connects to Epson all in one printer, scanner doesn't work

    I got a new Airport Extreme to connect my all-in-one printer, copier, scanner Epson CX8400. Connecting the printer feature to my MacBook Pro and my HP laptop was very easy, however can't get the scanning feature to work. Has anyone had this same issue? Do you know how to solve it other than plugging the USB cable directly to the computer? thanks!

    Hi Carlos9912,
    Does the Epson CX8400 support scanning over WiFi/Bonjour? I know my two HP Photosmart printers and my Epson I have do not support scanning over WiFi/Bonjour, despite the fact that they support printing functionality.

    I reset it again and it won't work in iTunes.. I have downloaded several apps before but now it just keeps saying retry.....but strangely my new password got me into this forum site?   Help..have I done something in settings?

    Did you try the one working module in both ram slots? If it worked in both slots then the other module is faulty. If the known good module didn't work in both slots then try the other module in both slots. By a process of trial and error you'll be able to determine if you've just got a bad module or a failed ram slot.

    1. Fixing disk permissions.
    2. Resetting NVRAM/PRAM.
    3. Running Apple diagnostics (Holding D / Holding Cmd+D during startup).
    Nothing helped. What do I do now?

    When you plug something in, go to the System Profiler (Apple menu, then "more info"). Does it recognize whatever is in the USB port? Could be a driver issue...
