Xorg or XFCE? trackpad oddity....

When I enable edge scroll, the right 50% of the trackpad becomes scroll-only.

It's very hard to use the trackpad when only the left half actually works... Is there some obscure, undocumented config file setting for XFCE/Xorg that allows me to specify the percentage of the trackpad used for edge scroll? Or am I just out of luck?

It's not a Synaptics though...
Code: [Select]
$ synclient
Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?

No idea what to do with this information, or if it's even useful...
