Touchpads

Computers are great.

Most of the time.

Linux is great too.

Most of the time.

I just want to thank bigbrovar for his blog post about getting HP Probook touchpads to actually work in Linux. The instructions worked nicely for me exactly as he wrote them. (OK, so I used a different temp directory...) (It also sheds a fair amount of light onto how to modify the source of an Ubuntu/Debian package and then proceed to use it as modified.)

I can now scroll with two fingers. Right clicking is not a phantasmagorical nightmare. Middle clicking actually can happen.

This is a happy thing. Verrra verra happy.
