Maybe it's fixed in a cutting edge kernel. There are 2 possibilities here. Dpup-Exprimo by Pemasu (

here)).
If you could test either of those and report it would be cool. The Slacko version has the latest stable xorg-server and drivers too.
Thanks 01micko, I tried both distros as you suggested and I’m pleased to report that both recognized the touchpad in my e6420 as a Synaptics Mouse
Code: Select all
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics Mouse"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "SHMConfig" "on"
EndSection
I was able to run FlSynclient to turn
Off Tap, adjust
Cursor Speed and
Touch Sensitivity, etc. I did not try to setup edge scrolling or any other finger gestures as I generally don’t use them.
I noticed that
powerapplet_tray DOES NOT work in Slacko 5.3.3. (HERE) Nor does it work in Slacko Beta PAE version k3.5.5, or Dpup-Exprimo by Pemasu on my system either. I removed powerapplet_tray and installed vattery in /Startup and vattery works fine.
I also found that ‘fixmenus’ doesn’t work in the Slacko Beta. I like to add items to the tray menu by editing _root_.jwmrc which is how I discovered ‘fixmenus’ didn’t work. I copied it over from slacko 5.3.3 and it worked fine. Is there an newer/updated version in the Beta?I did not try fixmenus in Dpup-Exprimo.
Thanks for your help! I'm running Slacko PAE version from a USB stick now.
