your netbook was made for AspireOS;) i've got it dual booting on my Samsung notebook & my mouse pad is working fine.

check out http://www.aspireos.com & here's a quick vid of it dual booting quickly on my netbookhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMzoGob5HH4

Double tapping to drag a window for example works for me on my AA110. Is this the behaviour you're missing?

There are no AROS utilities to change trackpad-specific settings, so you're stuck with default behaviour or whatever can be set in the BIOS.

I know aspireos but reinstall the os just for the double click on mouse pad is excesive, have aspireos another preferences for mouse pads?

I don't think so...

Back on topic: yes, AmigaOS was not made for mouse pads. That's why on Icaros desktop some options are already preset to a more mousepad-friendly value. Anyway, you should really use the mouse buttons below your mousdpad instead of double tapping. Or a external mouse. Double tapping is doable, but requires lot of training.

Yes i know amigaos isnt made for mouse pads but this isnt amigaos, i have a lot of training using the native aa1 mousepad and i like to use it on aros but simply dont work here.

Indeed, AROS could use some Touch Pad config utils.

In my case, I'd like to turn it off completely and not have to open my laptop and unplug a cable to do it.
