problem with touchpad

[J0hn]

Hi,

I need some help with my touchpad arrow movement. It has a gliding issue. The problem is when I use the touchpad and move the arrow cursor, it moves but at the same time it's slow and it looks like it's gliding. What can I do to fix this? I've been told to edit with synclient but there are so many options and I have absolutely no knowledge of it. Here are my settings:

xorg

Section "Input Device"
    Identifier	"Synaptics Touchpad"
    Driver	"synaptics"
    Option	"SHMConfig" "true"
    #shmconfig enables synclient on-the-fly
    Option	"TapButton1" "1"
    Option	"TapButton2" "2"
    Option	"TapButton3" "3"
    Option	"PalmDetect" "1"
    Option	"VertEdgeScroll" "1"
    Option	"HorizEdgeScroll" "1"
EndSection

What options do I need to tweak?

Sorry for double posting, but I couldn't find the edit button.

I just want to ask if someone/anyone who could post their own config so I can maybe mess around with to fix this issue. Ty.

I just hate posting links to other forums but I think this might help you out some.

Hmm, thanks for the link. I tried to use the options they mentioned with synclient and xorg but the problem is still there. My synaptic driver is loaded and working as far as I know. I think it's a problem with the configuration. I think I'm just going to save a backup of the default config and mess around with all the options and see where it goes. It's not a very very big issue, I just find it annoying whenever I drag the arrow cursor to click on a link and find that the arrow cursor moves a few micro-meters away from the link that I'm trying to click on. By the way, this doesn't happen while on an external mouse.

If I can't figure out the problem, I'll just have to settle with it
