 Posted: Fri Jun 19, 2009 8:01 pm Post subject: Left click on touchpad both scrolls and left clicks |
 |
|
The touchpad on my LG A1 Express laptop has a strange behavior. When I use the left click on the touchpad, it frist scrolls up one step and then send the left click signal which make it very hard to hit a button on a webpage (or any other application).
I wonder if anyone know how to get rid of this? I've not seen this problem with any external USB mouse.
I've only tried with the xf86-input-synaptics driver, I never managed to successfully compile the other one.
My xorg.conf are fairly simple:
| Code: |
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Layout0"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "TouchPad" "AlwaysCore"
InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
EndSection
Section "Module"
Load "freetype"
# Load "xtt"
Load "extmod"
Load "glx"
Load "dri"
Load "dbe"
Load "record"
Load "xtrap"
Load "type1"
Load "synaptics"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Emulate3Buttons"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "synaptics"

Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "SHMConfig" "on"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "se"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
### Comment all HorizSync and VertRefresh values to use DDC:
# HorizSync 31.5 - 31.5
# VertRefresh 50.0 - 70.0
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "intel"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"

I suppose you did recently upgrade to xorg-server 1.5x or higher.
There HID devices and many others are per default managed bei hal.
You can still use the old layout, but you should tell your system to do so.
I migrated to the new layout letting hal determine the hardware.
The xf86 drivers are used by the new way of using xorg-server1.5x
For that there is an official how2 somewhere. I only got the german one 
Probably you already know about that.
Therefore you need to have hal and dbus running, evdev keyboard synaptic in your devices section in make.conf and xorg-server compiled with hal useflag.
Finally there is a policy for synaptic devices that has to be used.
go ahead, friend  |

Yes, I took the time to upgrade Xorg now when I don't need the laptop for my daily work a few weeks.
hald and dbus where already running. I recompiled xorg-server with evdev, hald, etc. but still no luck.
Here's a cut from Xorg.0.log
| Code: |

I think one of the problems are that it's finding a "middle" button which i don't have. I only have a left- and a right click button. When I'm pushing left click it scrolls up and left clicks and when I push the right click button it scrolls down and right clicks.
I tried to override it with saying in xorg.conf that my touchpad only have two buttons but it didn't help. 
| Code: |
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event1"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Buttons" "2"
EndSection

you should completely leave out the HID area, 'cause they're handled by hal.
Have a look at that what remains of a once real huge xorg.conf:
| Code: | Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Layout0"
Screen 0 "Screen0"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
EndSection
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "NoPM" "true"
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "true"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "true"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection
|
use the area with allow empty input & autoadddevices and you're almost there.
I rearranged my snyptic one 'cause it had strange behaviour, too.
| Code: | poedel2duo /etc/hal/fdi/policy # cat 11-x11-synaptics.fdi
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">

I tried your configuration but it didn't make any difference besides cleaning up my configuration a bit which isn't too bad either.
After noticed when running "xev" that then button 1 was pressed a button press signal was sent from button 1 but a button release signal was sent from both button 1 and button 4.
| Code: |
KeymapNotify event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
keys: 4294967211 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

xinput set-button-map "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" 1 2 3 0 0 solves this problem but disables all kinds of scrolling but I can atleast use my touchpad. |

try to rename or disable anything concerning input devices and let hal handle it, e.g.
.xbindkeys
.Xmodmap
etc.
You got several things in you system from the old & new style that do not work smoothly together. |
