The problems I now have are that my version of xinput is 1.3.0 (Ubuntu
Hardy) and I don't have the --set-prop option. Since the
GrabEventDevice option in xorg.conf messes up my xserver, I tried
removing the synaptics driver completely and I can now get the data in
via [hid] and [linuxevent]. The problem is that I no longer have
two-fingered scrolling and can't disable the touchpad tap without a
driver. I tried to install the Alps driver but had an error as reported
here:<br>

xinput I did xinput --help and there it was "the --list command". <br>

Thanks for the help,<br>
