Touchpad shows up as a mouse

[davalv]

Hello,
I'm a new user to Linux Lite 2.6.
My laptop specs as follows:
ASI Model: SP15R-UMA
Intel Core i5-2520M 2.5GHz.
8Gb of RAM
Intel HD 3000 Graphics
Touchpad: Sentelic
Hard drive: Sandisk SSD 250Gb.
My question is, The Sentelic Touchpad shows up as a generic mouse.
There is no tab to configure two finger scroll. Is there a fix for this?
Other than that, everything else works great. Runs real fast, so far I'm happy with the performance, it's faster than M$ Win 10.

Thanks,
Dave

After some research, there doesn't appear to an easy fix for this. The support for Sentelic is poor. Best you can hope for is trying a newer kernel - https://www.freecinema2022.gq/forums/insta...te-kernel/ Try a later kernel from that thread, say 4.0 onwards (page 7+)

Hi,

This is old, but appears to be same issue..??
Looks like terminal work, and creating files..
I don't have such a device to test it.

Thanks for the reply.
My fix for now is to use an external USB mouse.
The scroll wheel works fine.
Maybe this problem will be fixed in a future update.

Thanks again,
Dave
