I'm using Debian on an Asus Eee PC 1000HA. It works flawlessly, except that the built-in trackpad acts as if it was a slate. That is, if I touch the upper-left quadrant of the trackpad, the mouse pointer "teleports" to the upper left of the netbook's screen. If I touch the bottom center, the pointer teleports to the bottom center of the screen.

I currently have no xorg.conf. I have tried various settings for the mouse in xorg.confs that I created, and none of them did more than disable the trackpad entirely. The trackpad works perfectly in Windows XP (shipped with the Eee) and in Ubuntu. Debian works fine with the (USB) mouse.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Install snyaptiks and configure it.

I have a 1000HE with opensuse 11.3 and it works out of the box, minus the tapping, which was configured in the KDE mouse settings.

I can't locate a package named "synaptiks" and "synaptics" packages are already installed. Thanks anyway. – CarlF Oct 20 '10 at 14:40
