The built-in pointing hardware on my Lenovo T500 works (sort of) OOTB, but they're slow and unresponsive. The mouse options in Keyboard & Mouse settings don't have any effect, whether on 'full-whack 100% everything' or minimal (following reboot, logout or any other variation of a system reset).
I've been taking a look at this:

..and this:

...but unfortunately a lot of it is quite meaningless to me.
I can't seem to find gpointing-device-settings in the Debian repositories, so I can't currently test that. There are PPA's out there, but Debian doesn't like untrusted sources, so they're not working.
The driver xserver-xorg-input-synaptics is located in the repos, but I don't really know what to do with it. I've tried installing, and then calling it using:
Code: Select all
synclient -l
Code: Select all
Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?
I'm surprised there isn't a nice working GUI for this. I also surprised the in-build preferences for the mouse have no effect (on an external USB mouse either!), but perhaps my system is in some way broken.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thank you.
