here's how I got everything working (scrollig, tap ...):
these are my setting in XF86Config
Code: | Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "XFree86 Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "touchpad" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
Section "Module"
Load "extmod"
Load "dri"
Load "dbe"
Load "record"
Load "xtrap"
Load "glx"
Load "speedo"
Load "type1"
Load "synaptics"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse1"
EndSection
# Touchpad - Synaptics driver
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "synaptics"
Identifier "touchpad"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event0"
Option "Protocol" "event"
Option "LeftEdge" "1900"
Option "RightEdge" "5400"
Option "BottomEdge" "1800"
Option "TopEdge" "3900"
Option "FingerLow" "25"
Option "FingerHigh" "30"
Option "MaxTapTime" "180"
Option "MaxTapMove" "220"
Option "VertScrollDelta" "100"
Option "MinSpeed" "0.02"
Option "MaxSpeed" "0.18"
Option "AccelFactor" "0.0010"
EndSection |
it just worked for if I set the mouse device to /dev/input/mouse1
and the touchpad to /dev/input/event0. whenever I tried to configure both as mouse or event device the touchpad got disabled.
and it's also very important to set touchpad as
Code: | InputDevice "touchpad" "SendCoreEvents" |
in the ServerLayout section!! CorePointer will not work.
in my kernel config I have:
Code: | Input device support:
* Event interface
*Mice
* PS/2 Mouse
* Synaptics Touchpad
|
I'm using this setup with kernel 2.6.0-test7 and xfree-4.3.99-13 |

Do'nt know if it's only for me but I discovered that one _has_ to compile the psmouse driver in the kernel and not as a module, otherwise touchpad is not even detected...
Anyone has the same problem ?

I ended up with some problems after newest kernel update. Everything worked just fine with test5, but not with test8
Touchpad is not recognized with Protocol "auto-dev" and tapping won't work with Protocol "event" (and the motion of the pointer is somehow very inaccurate).
Does anyone know a way around this w/o patching the X sources? I have no time for that in few weeks... _________________ HP Compaq nx9420 || Intel Core2 CPU T7200 @ 2GHz | 2Gb RAM | 120Gb HD

Working for me... with kernel updates the /dev/input/eventX jumps around, the touchpad is always on a different value for 'X'...

Thank you. I hadn't noticed this jumping around before and had no idea that it could be the cause. Well, it was. Chancing the Device option to "/dev/input/event1" fixed everything _________________ HP Compaq nx9420 || Intel Core2 CPU T7200 @ 2GHz | 2Gb RAM | 120Gb HD

I actually was able to set my synaptics device as CorePointer in the ServerLayout in test9. Just an FYI. |

I have tried to cat all the different devices described earlier in this thread, none of them display anything when i use the pad. Could the pad be associated to another device or none at all? |

don't forget to patch your kernel with the included patch if you have an alps pointer device. |

Hi,
Does anybody has an working config for alps touchpads (for example Dell Inspiron 8200)? I has compiled my kernel with alps patch, enabled event interface and synaptics enabled... I've tried the X Input Section from the INSTALL file (from the packaged mentioned on top of the thread) and the config in this thread.Nothing works. I can use the buttons, and taping the touchpad works too, but no movement of the cursor!
If i enabled SharedMemory to use synclient i get an "No touchpad found!" message. I've looked at the source and there is an blabla->issynaptics==true line, maybe the alps patch returns false... so this has not to be a big deal.
Any suggestions?
Bye |

I have exactly the same problem (tap works, but cursor won't move). Has anyone figured this out? I have an ALPS touchpad & kernel 2.6.0-mm2. |

here is my xconfig. alps touchpad, with kernel patch:
this comes to the module section Code: | Identifier "Mouse1"

Option "RightEdge" "830"

Option "AccelFactor" "0.01"

yep i already did what was suggested in the README.alps.
I use /dev/input/event0 because my keyboard's handle is event1. I know the touchpad (probably) works in console as cat /dev/input/event0 gives lots of gibberish if i move finger on the pad. However in X only tapping on the pad and pushing buttons works. I cannot move the cursor. Any idea?
Thanks. |

have you tried to install the synaptics driver manually? at least in my case neither the pre build one, nor the one from the portage tree worked. |

yeah I downloaded the tarball and compiled the driver myself. it's really weird...it's not clear from the X log message that sth's obviously wrong either. for now i'm back to the plain touchpad -- pretty irritating not being able to finger-scroll if u have any other tricks let me know! thanks. |

|

I have just made a new install of gentoo on my laptop and decided to go with the newest gentoo-dev-sources kernel, udev and xorg-x11. I am having an especially hard time trying to get my synaptics touchpad to work... i have followed the information on this and other threads, made the necessary adjustments to my /etc/X11/xorg.conf, etc but i am unable to locate the event to ascribe to the touchpad. I have tried all cat /dev/input/eventX but each time get "no such device" error. on startx i also get "no synaptics event device found(checked 5 nodes)" and "Fatal server error: failed to initialize core devices" ... what am i missing here??? would it be wise to use mknod to create the device beforehand??? |

Do you have event input support enabled in kernel?
Does any other devices (like a usb mouse) create events?
The eventX devices will be created automatically, i think. This means it wouldn't help to create this devices by hand. |

Hello there,
I'm stuck at getting my synaptic touchpad to work with my Xorg...
I am able to move the cursor, but when pressing on the touchpad to click nothing happens...
Here is my xorg.conf
Quote: | Section "Module"
Load "dbe" # Double buffer extension
SubSection "extmod"
Option "omit xfree86-dga" # don't initialise the DGA extension
EndSubSection

Ok, here are the problems...
If I have the xorg.conf like that, the keyboard is not responding, like a dead keyboard...
I do have the synaptics driver installed and I double checked that the synaptic uses /dev/input/event1
Any idea? how to solve that? I have been playing for a week with synaptics, but can't see a damned issue for this problem

Hmm I see that you have 2 touchpad devices, try and delete the line:
Code: |
InputDevice "Touchpad" "CorePointer"
|
and instead of InputDevice "Mouse [touchpad]" "SendCoreEvents" it should be:
Code: |
InputDevice "Mouse [touchpad]" "CorePointer"
|

Hmmm. In Windows I can double tap on a window, drag it somewhere, then tap again and continue dragging. There is a delay before the drag behaviour is reset. This helps if you're highlighting lots of text and moving across the touchpad once isn't enough. You have time to move your finger back before the selection is lost.
Is there a way to do this with the synaptics driver? |

Posted: Mon Oct 11, 2004 5:08 am Post subject: How do I *remove* synaptics? |
|
|
I seem to have the opposite problem. I haven't done anything at all to get Synaptics working on my laptop, and everything works - the side scroll bar, tap to click, etc. This is AMD64 kernel 2.6.7. In xorg.conf, my mouse section has protocol IMPS/2 and device /dev/mouse.
My problem is that I'm not getting sound events. I hear the startup and shutdown tunes play, but no event sounds play other than those. I'm wondering if it might be a interrupt conflict with the Synaptics. How can I remove the Synaptics if I haven't done anything to load it? _________________ Guy Rouillier |

I had the same problem. I built psmouse as a module rather than having it built into the kernel and then added it to autoload.d/kernel-2.6. Fixed the problem. |

Heres a perl script that will fix that.
