I have the same problem, and believe that the touchpad delay parameter on syndaemon should be extended or customizable. "Man syndaemon" gives a default of 2 seconds, which would be OK. Personally I...

nexoncore, the resolution that you have mentioned is far from unusual, thus a solution must be possible! Some older Intel graphics managers had very limited memory and could not work in higher...

Hello Fellows,

I would like to get some hint on kernel development regarding Graphic Management of older Intel 910 & 855 etc. Can we expect support for that type of hardware?
