curaga:
Anyway, if you have no xgi hardware, just remove those from video-all.dep so they don't obstruct the -configure.
Juanito:
This has some useful hints on adding xorg.conf "snippets" to an xorg confless setup:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg
The following seems to work:
--- Code: ---Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Alps Touchpad"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
Driver "synaptics"
EndSection
--- End code ---
..but I haven't yet figured out how to modify this to suit:
--- Code: ---Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "xorg configured"
InputDevice "DualPoint Stick" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Alps Touchpad" "SendCoreEvents"
EndSection
--- End code ---

Curaga, Juanito: Thanks for the suggetions. I've not had time to explore them yet. I've been struggling with my old ACX wireless adapter in my much-older laptop. >:(
I'll have to try again. I'm not sure I like the new-style piecemeal configuration in Xorg 7.6. :-\
MikeLockmoore:
With Xorg 7.6, I cannot get the touchpad settings to take effect. If I modify /usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf file by adding some extra settings for edge scrolling, nothing changes.
I'm also seeing an error in the Xorg log that the ATI radeon r600_dri.so cannot be found and loaded. I saw in some googling that this may be part of a MESA DRI package in other distros. Not sure the best way to get it for Tiny Core.
Maybe it would be better for me to revert to Xorg 7.5 and use the ati-fglrx.tcz driver. Hopefully the touchpad stuff would still work as I had working in TC 3.6 / 3.8. I'm not sure if the Linux kernel 3.0.3 in TC 4.x will work the same way for the graphics and touchpad. Any observations from others who have migrated to the TC 4.x series? I suppose I'll see when I have some more time I can spare for it.
vinnie:
Also I continue to use xorg 7.5, when I tried the 7.6 gave me problems (I have an intel gma do not remember what).
as long as 7.5 works I'm not going to change (although the transition to linux 3 I have lost the ability to configure the touchscreen and xinpu_calibrator I did not detect)
