&lt;p&gt;I have a small install with Xfce (netinstall).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;tpconfig (which pilots the touchpad) was automatically installed at the first install.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I followed a tip to be able to shutdown the computer as normal user with Xfce (see: http://wiki.xfce.org/faq#session_manager) with dbus and hal. (I installed manually hal with aptitude) and added the user to the powerdev group:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;gpasswd -a  powerdev&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am not completely sure, but I think that the last command gave me the full functions of the touchpad...&lt;/p&gt;</content></entry></feed>
