Disabling the touchpad takes all of 2 seconds (ok... maybe not 2 seconds... but your post suggests that you appreciate hyperbole ;)) The easiest way is to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf by adding the following line to the Input Devices section for the touchpad:
Option "MaxTapTime" 0

For me, WPA2 worked "out of the box" with Feisty and the Intel wireless.

"your post suggests that you appreciate hyperbole"

Always!




"The easiest way is to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf by adding the following line to the Input Devices section for the touchpad:

It can't possibly be that easy. (But I'm going to try it anyway.) I have tried editing all kinds of files, recompiling kernels, etc., etc.





"For me, WPA2 worked "out of the box" with Feisty and the Intel wireless."

I haven't tried Feisty yet, but I'll definitely give it a shot now that I know this.

Thanks for your responses... If you're advice works, I'm going to be a very happy man.

Works out of the box for me.

It worked easily for me too, and for the record, the rewritten Monitor section solved a generic Inspiron1100 screen size problem too!

Off the hizook:

Disabled tap-to-click easily as per above instructions (thanks, yo). Got WPA2 to work without too much trouble (not out-of-the-box, though).


Decidedly on the hook:

I'm getting random and frequent lock ups with Feisty 7.04... I've never had this problem with *any* distribution of Linux before. :(
