[Solved] Aspire One - Can't get touchpad to work

I'm in the process of installing arch on a hdd One, and i've copied the xorg.conf from the AA1 Arch wiki.
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ace … Fxorg.conf
When i test the config, the "X" image displays but i can't move it with the touchpad.
This is my first arch install so i assume there's something i'm looking over. I used the most recent USB img to install, the only thing extra i've installed are the Intel and Synaptic drivers that are in the wiki.
Besides xorg.conf, the only thing i've edited is rc.conf, i just added these modules in the AA1 Arch wiki:
acpi_cpufreq ath5k !memstick pciehp r8169 !snd-pcsp uvcvideo
I tried messing around with the xorg.conf, using stuff i'm finding on the wiki, like following the "My touchpad device isn't located at /dev/input/mouse0" instructions on the Touchpad Synaptics wiki, but nothing changed.
I also added evdev and psmouse to rc.conf as suggested in that wiki, but i got nothing.
I've been getting by with all the documentation available, trying my best to not have to bug you guys, but seems like i'm stuck. If i seem pretty clueless it's because i am, this is kind of learning process for me
I would assume the xorg log would help, but not being able to copy it, and not knowing what parts would be important to type up in this post, i guess i'm kinda shooting in the dark.

This might sound like a silly question, but...have you tried enabling the touchpad with the Fn+F7 hotkey? I found that mine was disabled by default when I first installed Arch.

    I downloaded Montain Lion several times. I could not install. It said `could not be verified or corrupted'. How to solve this? Can I get a refund?

    On your profile, you say that you are using Mountain Lion. Is that correct? If you are using Mountain Lion, you don't have to download the Mountain Lion installer again.
    Also, that error is usually caused by problems with your Internet connection or your hard disk, so first, open Disk Utility, select Macintosh HD in the sidebar and verify the disk. If it's OK, you have problems with your Internet connection, so contact with your ISP

  • My printer is a fairly new all-in-one Brother MFC-7860 DW. It is not listed in the iPad AirPrint printers. Can I get it to work with my new iPad2?

    My printer is a fairly new all-in-one Brother MFC-7860 DW. It is not listed in the iPad AirPrint printers. Can I get it to work with my new iPad2?

    If it's not an Airprint enabled printer, you can not natively through your iPad.  BUT, there are apps you can purchase in the App Store, like Print Central ($9), which is what I use myself and works well for my needs.

  • I have an Imac running snow leopard and have recently installed a cannon i-sensys lbp7750Cdn printer since then I can't get the printer working and the air port has lost the DNS servers; if it ever had them!!! but it dose not look happy. Can any one help

    I have an Imac running snow leopard and have recently installed a cannon i-sensys lbp7750Cdn printer since then I can't get the printer working and the air port has lost the DNS servers; if it ever had them!!! but it dose not look happy and it is telling me so. Can any one help please?

    Snow Leopard breaks quite a few drivers - my Canon exhibited the same problem.
    I eventually found updated drivers on the Canon website. You can try that with the HP, but if the all-in-one is more than a year or so old, don't hold your breath.
    You can also try Software Update to see if it will offer new drivers, or failing that go to the Support Downloads site and search for HP updates.
    In fact there's a new one for HP at the top of the list just now.
    You may not necessarily want the latest one, though - check the specs to see if your model is covered; if not, search for the previous update etc.

  • [SOLVED] I can't get virtual hosts working. What's wrong?

    What I've decided to do is try to set up each domain name in the user folder to whom it belongs (for example: /home/username/somedomain.com/htdocs). I can't get it to work though. I keep getting an error saying that there's no index file (although there is) or that the location isn't readable (although it is). I'm trying to make it so that if the domain name matches with a virtual host section in httpd-vhosts.conf that a specific DocumentRoot will be loaded for that domain, etc. But, if the domain name points to my server but doesn't match, then I want the default location to work. I can't seem to make this work.
    This is my http.conf:

    And here's my httpd-vhosts.conf:

    ErrorLog "/home/normaluser/somedomain.com/log/error_log"
    CustomLog "/home/normaluser/somedomain.com/log/access_log" common
    </VirtualHost>
    So, for example, I want it to be so that if I visit http://45.117.5.40 that it'll show the stuff ftom /srv/http/default/htdocs but if the domain name matches somedomain.com then I want the server to show the content from /home/normaluser/somedomain.com/htdocs.
    What currently happens is that if I visit http://45.117.5.40 or somedomain.com, they both show the same content from /srv/http/default/htdocs.
    If I comment out the first VirtualHost section, then everything stops working and I see the default "Access forbidden!" message.
    What am I doing wrong?

    I fixed it. In case any newbs come across this, I had to add a new <Directory> section for the DocumentRoot of the virtual host. Simply adding the VirtualHost entry in the vhosts file isn't enough.
    For example, for the "somedomain.com" vhost in the example above to work, I added this to http.conf:
    #This must match with the same location as DocumentRoot in httpd-vhost.conf.
    <Directory "/home/normaluser/somedomain.com/htdocs">
    #Put whatever directives you want in here
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    </Directory>
    Let me know if you need any clarification.
