Late last week I was griping about the poor trackpad performance on the Dell Mini 10 and decided to try to fix it. It was usable, but difficult and caused a lot of erroneous clicks and mouse-moves and was a bit like trying to use a Fisher Price toy to perform brain surgery. Clunky, imprecise, [...]
A commenter asked about the horrible touchpad on the Dell Mini 10. Not sure if he was using Linux or Windows, but a couple of quick searches found some mention of a better driver. Top link was on superuser.com and has some hopefully helpful links. I’ll post back with results when I’ve had a chance [...]

A kind person replied back that some people were reporting that it was Logitech Control Center. Humoring the nice man, I dutifully removed Logitech’s preferences panel and drivers… and now ‘mate’ works.

In the past, I have talked no small amount of shit about Logitech’s driver situation on the Mac. I don’t think it was unreasonable though, and I didn’t feel the least bit bad about dumping my Logitech MX Revolution for an Apple Mighty Mouse. I did, however, miss all the buttons.
