My few remaining gripes with linux
(lemm.ee)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

That part is stupid indeed. If you run X, do
xinput
and find your trackpad. Then doxinput list-props
on that to see all the settings there are. Xinput can also change them withxinput set-prop
and they reset after a reboot, so feel free to fiddle around.Once you're done, just slap your settings into a script and run that on startup, then you're set.
