How to change Lenovo B560 touchpad settings in Fatdog? (Solved)

Post by sfein1000 »

I tried searching for an answer in case this was asked already, but for some reason the Forum Search and I do not get along - or maybe it hasn't been asked.

I decided to take a look at FatDog. I booted off the ISO (using Ventoy). I am using FatDog64 on a Lenovo B560. After booting up, I have found my touchpad doesn't work well (I don't use a mouse, just the touchpad). It is slow (about 3-4 swipes minimum to get across the screen) and tapping the pad does not reproduce a mouse click. Also double-clicking the button for the touchpad seems finicky on speed.

Since just about every distribution I have tried Live (so far fossapup is the only one without this issue - Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora all have the same problem) has the problem, I thought I would do what I do with them and load a config app that allows me to setup the touchpad. But I can't figure out where that is in FatDog. I don't see a hardware setup app (though I could definitely be missing it).

How do I modify how the touchpad works?

Thanks

Well, I guess that's why you include a help document with the distro. I found my answers there. Sorry for the original post :)

So what did you find that worked? It helps everyone if you let us know.

There was a section of the help specific to TouchPad. In the control panel, I had to go to Display. In that section was Adjust TouchPad. All the settings were there.
