Touchpad
Intel MacBook touchpad's seem to be a little touchy by default. Usually, the sensitivity can be modified through Xubuntu's System, although it doesn't always have the desired effect. An alternative is to set the touchpad parameters directly through the Synaptics input driver. Run the following script (as root):
#!/bin/sh
# Check if root if [ ! $(id -u) -eq 0 ] ; then
echo "ERROR: You must run this script as root!" exit 2
fi
echo 'Modifying touchpad sensitivity...'
cat << EOF > /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90macbook-touchpad #!/bin/sh # Synaptics parameters to improve touchpad performance on Macbooks synclient FingerLow=10 synclient FingerHigh=20 EOF
chmod a+x /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90macbook-touchpad
echo '... Done! Please log out and log back in to enact changes.'
This will adjust the touchpad's parameters for all users, including new ones that are added to the system.
