 Posted: Mon Aug 06, 2012 1:05 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] mousepad not working |
 |
|
Hi
I normally use a usb mouse which works fine, but I have recently been trying to use the mousepad built into the laptop, with no success. As well as gentoo I have linux mint & windows installed on the same laptop, the mousepad does not work in any of these. This would indicate to me that the mousepad is damaged in some way and simply will never work.
In gentoo.
| Code: | dmesg :

Do these results indicate that the mousepad is in fact detected if so what needs to be done ?

Sadly them it seems that there is no point in spending any more time on this. Thanks for your input.

HI
I have recently found (I rarely access windows and was just fiddling around with it) that the mousepad does work in Windows but I had to enable in by pressing FN + F9 this then allowed me to select
enable mousepad, now it is working fine in Windows only.
It still does not work in any of the Linux systems as I have described above.
Any ideas please?

percy_vere_uk,
I turn mine on and off using | Code: | | xinput --set-prop "AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad" "Device Enabled" 1 |
Setting it to '0' will turn it off 
Enable it with the function key combo first before attempting to control it with xinput. Mine fn+f3.

xinput --set-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Device Enabled" 1 worked ok for me. I have now found that FN + F9 enables and disables the two mousepad keys but as yet have not been able to
get the pad itself to work.

I'm surprised to hear that it doesn't work in mint  I too have windows, mint (debian edition) and gentoo installed on this laptop and the pad works with all three. I'm also using a logitech wireless mouse with all three installations.
I didn't have to do anything in mint to get the pad working - everything worked out-of-the-box. With gentoo it was just a matter of setting evdev and synaptics in make.conf.
Since mint is pre-configured for just about everything, I'm at a loss at the moment

I now also have the mousepad working in mint by pressing FN + F9.
Thank you for your help on this.
