|
|
I recently got my synaptics touchpad working (in much less time than I though it would take) . However, when the synaptics touchpad started working, the wheel on my usb mouse stopped working. However, I fixed it and I'm posting here in case someone else needs to know.
Make sure that you have one input device specified for each mouse, heres what I have
in the "ServerLayout" section (the names are just examples):
Quote: | InputDevice "Touchpad" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "USBMouse" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
|
Then of course, check your touchpad settings.
Then you need to add this option in the "ServerFlags" section, or the X server might not start (you might be able to get by without this):
Quote: | Option "AllowMouseOpenFail"
|
Finally go to your USB mouse settings (which you might have to add youself) and make sure you have "ZAxisMapping" added:
Quote: | Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "USBMouse"
#your driver and device will probably be different
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse1"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
|
That worked for me, by the way I am using a 2.6.10 kernel and I think devfs |

Every features of the touchpad work fine even if all settings are with "#". USB mouse and touchpad work simultanously, everything is OK though. _________________ Powered by Gentoo Linux since 2003 |

|
|
Does anyone know how to disable the Touchpad but retain the Trackpoint? If there is a way to turn down the Touchpad's sensitivity that would work too.
I need to have the cursor quit jumping about just because my thumb passes in the vicinity of the Touchpad.
Thanks-- Mike |

|
|
I'm having trouble with my Synaptics touchpad. When I load the psmouse module, I get this output from the kernel:
Code: | Synaptics Touchpad, model: 1
Firmware: 5.8
180 degree mounted touchpad
Sensor: 29
new absolute packet format
Touchpad has extended capability bits
-> 4 multi-buttons, i.e. besides standard buttons
-> multifinger detection
-> palm detection
input: SynPS/2 Synaptics Touchpad on isa0060/serio1 |
When I try to run Xorg, I get this error message:
Code: | (EE) Synaptics no synaptics touchpad detected and no repeater device
(EE) Synaptics Unable to query/initialize Synaptics hardware.
(EE) PreInit failed for input device "Synaptics" |
tpconfig gives me this output:
Code: | fatal:
No Synaptics or ALPS touchpad device found |
cat'ing /dev/input/mice gives me garbage when I touch the touchpad, i.e. the kernel driver works.
cat'ing /dev/input/event0 thru event3 gives me "No such device".
I tried booting passing usb-handoff to the kernel, which had zero effect.
My xorg.conf looks something like this
Code: | Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Protocol" "event"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
...
EndSection |
Any suggestions on this strange problem? _________________ Cigature? |

Strange but I get that problem with newer kernels (2.6.15.xxx). It looks like unloading/reloading module evdev should fix it. I'll try and post my feedback. _________________ Gentoo addict: tomorrow I quit, I promise!... Just one more emerge...

Got it. A workaround is to compile evdev as a module and load it with /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6. Now I've got /dev/input/event[0-4] and the touchpad scroll works. _________________ Gentoo addict: tomorrow I quit, I promise!... Just one more emerge...

I'm using this setup with kernel 2.6.0-test7 and xfree-4.3.99-13 |
My Kernel doesn't have Synaptics support.
I did, however, note I didn't have "Event Interface" in there.
set that to yes, figured out which event# was the touchpad
went into x... bam! I can scroll.
