Touchpad less accurate than in Windows 7

Hi

My touchpad functions, but it is not so accurate as in Windows 7. I am using Dell Vostro 2520, are there some possibilities to change drivers? On the manufacturer webpage I didn't find Linux drivers.

thanks

Hi JL,

try installing these pacakges via the following terminal command:

Code:
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-mtrack xserver-xorg-input-multitouch


Let us know if it helps.

Regards Wolfman :D

Hi Wolfman

I used the command(as 2 separate commands, I received an error when submitting both at once, maybe syntax). And there is no change in accuracy of touchpad.

Hi JL,

I just tried the command myself and it came back with an "unmet dependencies message", try running the following command as it might be that there are unmet dependecies and this will force an update:

Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -f


Restart after running command.

I don't have any other ideas sorry!.

Regards Wolfman :D
