I've taken the second route. Adding synclient calls to my .profile seems to have got this under control. Only remaining thing is that I can't see how to disable the edge scrolling feature. That said, I'm not really bothered by that as it doesn't seem to be causing any trouble by itself.

You need to set the [Vert|Horiz]ScrollDelta values to zero. ------------------------------------------------------- That did it, many, many thanks! "You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers. You can tell whether a man is wise by his questions." — Naguib Mahfouz
