Fedora 7 on Dell Latitude D520

Charles Roth, 21 June 2007

1. Fix extra mouse hits.  (Symptom: moving the mouse over a web page in a browser sometimes causes odd hits on the page, or acts as if the Back button had been pressed).

   Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

   • Change "ServerLayout" InputDevice from "Synaptics" to "Mouse0".
   • Change "InputDevice", Identifier from "Synaptics" to "Mouse0".
   • In the same section, change "Driver" from "synaptics" to "mouse".
   • Change the protocol from "auto-dev" to "IMPS/2".
2. Enable WiFi at all times (disable non-existent WiFi hotkey).  See forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=148278 (duplicated here, just in case).
3. Speed up the DVD.  (Same page)

Any feedback is most welcome (roth@thedance.net).  Good luck!
