Just find out today that my BYON M31W’s touchpad is fully configurable by Jaunty. I find this hard to resolve on Windows, but with Jaunty – hey it is fun. I believe that the touchpad is made by Compal.
First, vertical and (almost unused) horizontal scrolling. All I have to do is just slide two fingers anywhere on the touch pad vertically (to scroll vertically) and (perhaps) horizontally for scrolling horizontally. Just find it out on the ubuntu forum. It is quite different with Synaptics touchpad (slide on the right or bottom side).
The “tapping” function can be disabled! Accidently tapping the touchpad which resulting an unwanted actions is very annoying. This nuisance can be avoided by System -> Preference -> Mouse menu and click on the Touchpad Tab. I can disable Mouse click with touchpad from there.
Great!
