Good to hear the displays are working better for you.<br>><br>> In Kubuntu, synaptic is not installed by default, in favour of<br>> kpackagekit. Don't know what the Gnome side does. (Khalid has given<br>> you the command line way.) If you do not currently have synaptic<br>> installed, it may be worth your while to do so - many similar<br>> instructions assume you have
synaptic installed. Just remember that<br>> there is synaptic the package manager, and synaptic touchpad drivers -<br>> so you need to have an eye to keep them straight.<br>><br>> Something else that may help you is the gdebi package (iirc)<br>> [Graphical .deb handler.] Not infrequently, and I suspect the same<br>> will be true of sun, a .deb is downloadable (much like a .rpm for<br>> Fedora based distros). With gdebi installed, the package will just get<br>> (graphically) installed automagically, all but hands free.
