|
Hey, I hope one of you can help me with this.
I have seen several threads with similar problems, but none of them really solved my problem.
A while back I the touchpad working fine, but after some xorg upgrade the tap to click stopped working.
I can still use it to move the pointer, I just have to use the buttons below it to click, and that is kind of annoying.
In my xorg log I see this output:

I seems that at some point it tries to add mouse0 as touchpad but fails, but maybe I'm misunderstanding whats happening.
Originally I used the dell inspiron 6400 guide on the wiki to get things working, but that still uses the old HAL way of doing things as far as I can tell.
My xorg.conf.d only contains 4 lines for my video card.
| Code: |
Section "Device"
Identifier "nVidea"
Driver "nvidia"
EndSection
|
Any help would be appreciated. |

You've got to configure your touchpad with X configuration files.
Here's mine (use synclient output to help you if it still doesn't work) :
| Code: | Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad catchall"
Driver "synaptics"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "1"
Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "TapButton2" "2"
Option "TapButton3" "3"
EndSection |

Thank you so much, it worked in one go.
After I read your post I went back and looked at the wiki again,
I don't know how I missed a whole section called "Tapping does not work anymore". |

| You're missing '/dev/event*' match there - that keeps things cleaner. |

Hello,
I have a similar problem configuring my touchpad on my Sony Z series.
The touchpad mostly works, but it has a problem. The touch area comprises both the buttons and the area where the finger slides to move the arrow. So it is all in one area.
Also, the touch area is even a clickpad. All the button work, but the problem is that I don't want the mouse pointer moves when I slide my finger on the two bottom buttons. So I have to define the exact area where the finger should slide.
For this purpose, I am using the following config file: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf, that I found through Google:
| Code: | Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad catchall"
Driver "synaptics"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Option "LeftEdge" "2900"
Option "RightEdge" "4000"
Option "TopEdge" "620"
Option "BottomEdge" "3900"
Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "TapButton2" "3"
Option "TabButton3" "2"
Option "FastTaps" "1"
Option "CornerCoasting" "1"
Option "CoastingSpeed" "0.30"
Option "PalmDetect" "true"
Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "true"
Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "true"
#Option "SHMConfig" "on"
Option "SendCoreEvents"
Option "MaxDoubleTapTime" "50"
Option "LBCornerButton" "1"
Option "RBCornerButton" "3"
Option "FingerLow" "7"
Option "FingerHigh" "8"
Option "MaxTapTime" "180"
Option "MaxTapMove" "110"
Option "VertScrollDelta" "20"
Option "HorizScrollDelta" "20"
Option "MinSpeed" "0.60"
Option "MaxSpeed" "1.10"
Option "AccelFactor" "0.030"
Option "EdgeMotionMinpeed" "200"
Option "EdgeMotionMaxSpeed" "200"
EndSection |
The solution should be to change the BottomEdge value, but whatever number I put there, it is ignored. Nothing changes.
Furthermore, I would attach my Xorg.0.log file.
Please note also lines 465-468 where some error is present, but also lines 461-464, where some value is not correct and restored to "default".
Please help me, because I don't really know what to do now, after a lot of attempts. I've also found this, but is useless, because I have only one synaptics driver call in there.
