HP G62 Touchpad LED & double click

[u634]

Hello, I've installed Debian Wheezy on my HP G62 notebook. In windows the touchpad worked well with all features. But now I can't turn the touchpad on/off by tapping on the LED, which doesn't shines. Also I can't use the double click feature. If someone could help me, this would be great!

Kind regards.

    VertEdgeScroll          = 1
    HorizEdgeScroll         = 1
    TapButton1              = 1

OR you could edit /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf

Code: Select all

sudo gedit /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf

and modify the file accordingly:
