Re: Running from External Disk: trackpad question

Actually, I did discover it, and I used it.  But any editing of 
xorg.conf seems to require multiple attempts.

Yes, but some software is pretty inaccessable.  I have a laptop-style 
USB keyboard that I use with my office computer at work.  (I like the 
option of putting my feet up, keyboard in my lap.  Having a trackpad in 
my lap is nicer than reaching up for a mouse.)  That trackpad doesn't 
work as well as products Steve cracks his whip over, but I figure I am 
stuck with it.  The software is pretty embedded.

P.S.  How do you do circular scrolling on a non-circular trackpad?  On a 
circular trackpad I can really crank, but without the edge to guide me, 
I can't see there would be any point.
