 Posted: Wed Apr 05, 2006 1:35 pm Post subject: trackpad freezing after waking ibook |
 |
|
Helo!
When I wake ibook from sleep (while in X) the trackpad doesn't work.
I tried to do init1 and removed all the modules but it doesn't help.
After reboot it works again.
Any ideas?

USB or ADB base trackpad?
maybe its a usb/sleep problem.
you should try another sleep/wakeup-cycle when it's frozen and check, if it works again.
would be typical for a usb/sleep-problem

Hm, I don't know what ADB base trackpad is? |

| I've tried another sleep/wakeup cycle and it still doesn't work. Connecting USB mouse always works. |

ADB is an older input bus, used by most macs. If you're using the "Appletouch" driver, then you don't have an ADB mouse. If you are, you're using a USB mouse.
In your Xorg.conf, what device is the mouse input driver pointing to? If it's not already set, try /dev/input/mice. Are you using mouseemu? If so, try disabiling it and see if the problem stops.

| I have the same problem. It's a USB trackpad, on a recent iBook (one week), and the device is set to /dev/input/mice in xorg.conf. I don't use mouseemu, only pbbuttonsd. I'm not sure where I should begin. I'll try tweaking the kernel and the latest pbbuttonsd, and see if it works. Any suggestion? |

| OK, it worked. I just emerged pbbuttonsd-0.7.5, and now the trackpad works perfectly after wakeup. (Note: pbbuttonsd-0.7.5 is not in portage yet, but you can use the 0.7.4 ebuild without any modifications, simply rename it to pbbuttonsd-0.7.5.ebuild.) |

Well, that's annoying. Usually Matthias makes announcements on the mailing list when there's a new pbbuttonsd version. :p I've added the latest to portage.

So I assume, that you both do not use the synaptics driver in X11. I use the synaptics driver and usually notap works allright.
Some months ago I tested it withmout the synaptics driver and found no way to disable tapping. But tapping was active all the time, not only after wakeup from sleep.
Ok, I'm going to test the new pbbuttons with synaptics and without. |

Ok, I tested now.
Without the synaptics driver:
- Suspend-to-ram and suspend-to-disk both work fine.
- But tapping is always active, although in pbbuttonsd.conf I have "TPMode = notap".
With synaptics driver:
- Suspend-to-ram works fine.
- Suspend-to-disk works also, but after resume the pointer moves slowly. I have to switch to console and back to X then to make it move like it should.
- The trackpad does not set the dim counter, so I have to press a key to undim to screen. |

It seems that compilation of usb stuff (usbcore, appletouch, ...) as modules solved the problem.
There is another issue with synaptic driver for X which is not started. I guess it's the appletouch's fault.
I'll try to remove appletouch and see what happens. |

I have appletouch and usbcore running as modules.

You may have a look at my webpage about installing linux on this iBook:
http://cmr.forestfactory.de/ibook/linux/ibook_linux.html
Most things on the iBook work well, but I still have some annoying problems. Please post your experiences and if you also have the same remaining problems as me. Thank you,
Magnum

Great site magnum.
When I'll have some time I'll try some of your solutions. |

It turns out pbbuttonsd-0.7.5 didn't solve anything. In fact, I realized that if my iBook sleeps for less than 10 minutes, the touchpad wakes up fine, but if it sleeps longer, it's frozen until I reboot. I now use the synaptics driver, and I've enabled CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND in the kernel. Now it seems to work (compiling usbcore and appletouch as modules was not necessary).
Thanks a lot for your suggestions, magnum@paranoia. Now the only problem left is that the touchpad does not reset the dim timer, but I think it's a known issue that is likely to be fixed in the next pbbuttonsd realese. |

It's not because of pbbuttonsd, it's because of synaptics not passing the events so pbbuttonsd can see them.
This patch from the pbbuttonsd mailing list should fix it:

You were right, JoseJX. I modified synaptics-0.14.4-r2.ebuild to include the patch (which I also modified a bit, so that epatch would apply it correctly), and now everything works like a charm. Thank you very much!
