Laptop + Synaptics Touchbad - scrolling problems (but 2fingers works)

Hello Guys.
Yesterday I finally decided to fine tune all the little things on my laptop. I have Compal FL90 - not the newest one but it works just fine. When I was working on windows, I could use the rightmost vertical part of my touchpad to scroll. I got used to this nifty feature and I am trying to achieve the same result on Arch. I had read the info about synaptics on the wiki -> used information from there to setup my xorg.conf. Now it looks like this:
xorg.conf:

I can use two fingers to scroll now (so it partially works), but scrolling with right side of touchpad fails. Does anyone has any sugestions / solutions? I would be gratefull for any help.
Best regards,
Mike.

    Perhaps using xinput would work as it does with the ThinkPad TrackPoint { xorg-xinput needs to be installed }.

  • Line Out Speaker Problems, but Headphones work just fine?

    So my computer was working beautifully yesterday, but today, my speakers sound awful. The bass sounds alright but any treble just sounds echoey and/or scrambled. It's also just really quiet at times. My headphones work just fine though. Any suggestions?

    If the headphones are OK, then check your speakers. If they are powered speakers there may be a problem with the speaker's amplifier or you could have a loose connection.

  • Homesharing music play problem but Airplay works!?

    I have a very strange problem. My setup is as follows, Airport Extreme, Apple TV2, Imac 27 (Source), Ipad (Remote app),Pioneer VSX 1020 receiver (Sound output)
    Using one of my IOs devices with the remote app to control the Apple TV2 directly and select music from my home shared library doesn´t give any sound output.
    Selecting in the remote app the library on the source (Imac) and play the same song from the library through Airplay does give sound !?
    Now when i put on my TV connected to my Pioneer receiver the direct Apple TV2 control of the home shared library suddenly gives sound ouput.
    This gives problems as nobody can´t use the source to play it´s own music when my TV is off.
    How to solve this ? 

    Just updated my Apple TV and it seems to have solved this problem.
    Strange thing is still when i switch my TV off and the Apple TV was playing content,it all stops.
    The Apple TV 2 seems to have intelligence build in that it can check through my receiver if the TV is still on or off.

  • When a PDF is opened in a tab, my laptop's touchpad scroll stops working for other tabs. (But works perfectly fine on the pdf tab or with every tab after closing the pdf tab)

    My touchpad scroll was not working many times after i installed firefox 6. But it works perfectly fine in other browsers at the same time.
    After some playing around, i found that this problem occurs only when a pdf is open in some tab (The scrolling works in pdf's tab but not in other tabs). Once that particular tab is closed, the scrolling starts working properly.

    Using similar scroll function on my netbook. To add to the above, I find that using scroll is actually causing the PDF to scroll rather than the tab I'm actually in.
    Reader 9 is installed on my Win7 Starter.

  • Do any of you experience Im having with my ipad? I can't make a comment in Facebook for older posts and I can't open numerous comments from old posts of my friends. but everything works perfectly when I use laptop. is there problem between apple and FB?

    do any of you experience Im having with my ipad? I can't make a comment in Facebook for older posts and I can't open numerous comments from old posts of my friends. but everything works perfectly when I use my laptop(non-apple). is there problem between apple and FB?

    Facebook apparently has their site coded poorly for tablets with touch screens. Try using the Facebook app. It is not perfect either but it is better than view in a browser lately.

  • Norton Toolbar 5.6 - Works on Laptop FF 4.0.1, but not Desktop FF 4.0.1

    Norton Toolbar works on my laptop (HP Envy 17 - 3D), but not my desktop (Dell XPS 7100). Following are the basics of the operating environments and program versions.
    Dell XPS 7100: AMD-chip; Windows 7, Home Premium w/ Service Pack 1; FF 4.0.1; Norton Internet Security 2011, v. 18.5.0.125.
    HP Envy 17 - 3D: i7-chip; Windows 7, Home Premium w/ Service Pack 1; FF 4.0.1; Norton Internet Security 2011, v. 18.6.0.29.
    I have run liveupdate every few minutes, but still the Norton Toolbar is not updated. When I check add-ons Norton Toolbar 5.5 is disabled; but my laptop add-ons shows Norton Toolbar 5.6, and IdSafe and SafeWeb are definitely present and working on the laptop.

    I had the same problem. Solved by downloading latest update from Symantec and letting updater run. This does not require an uninstall of the current version but may require a reboot.

  • Net flix error code 114:503 ... but netflix work on laptop fine...

    net flix error code 114:503 ... but netflix work on laptop fine...

    Same issue here.  Looking at the history of the forums, it looks like this happens every 1 to 3 months and is resolved within 24 hours.  I have a PS3 with netflix streaming.  I switch back and forth between the two when Netflix somehow screws things up on one or the other.  If you call netflix, they say to call Apple or Sony.  It's usually Netflix's problem.  Glad they raised the price for a service that is so reliable (sarcasm).

  • [SOLVED] No sound on laptop speakers, but headphones working properly

    Hello everyone,
    I have a problem with sound on my laptop. My laptop speakers doesn't work, but if I connect my headphones to the 3.5mm jack, headphones sound correctly. I managed a few days ago to fix this issue, but after a few days without problems, it stopped working.

    How exactly did you fix it and what happened to break it?
    Well I simply removed /var/lib/alsa/asound.state, and rebooted. Then the sound started working. Then I used a live-cd distro that I'm testing for my University, and when I rebooted the next time, the sound didn't work.

    I haven't had time to try it. This morning, started working without doing anything... there must be trolls inside my laptop. I hope this time will continue working indefinitely.
    Thanks a lot for answering.
    EDIT: Yesterday before shuting down my laptop I returned the configuration I had changed to its original state, so that could be the change that made my speakers work again this morning.
