 |
|
Precondition
1. >=xorg-server-1.8
2. =x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics-1.3.0 <x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics-1.3.0(not tested)
3. hal removed, udev enabled
4. setting in make.conf
if INPUT_DEVICES="evdev", need emerge xf86-input-synaptics manually.
if INPUT_DEVICES="evdev synaptics", the xf86-input-synaptics will be installed by dependency(x11-base/xorg-drivers).
5. only tested in Gnome desktop environment
Configuration
1. fix gnome configuration(thanks TryA, details please see: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=103218)
| Code: | | $ gconftool-2 --type boolean --set /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/plugins/mouse/active false |
cut from https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=103218
| Quote: | The thing is, since 2.6.35, the touchpad is now properly recognized as a Synaptics-type touchpad. When the Synaptics X driver is loaded, GNOME takes control of the touchpad and apply its own settings, bypassing Xorg configuration (an awkward move since the user expects his touchpad to behave as xorg.conf describes it).
So, you have two solutions :
tell GNOME you don't want it to screw with your touchpad (and your mouses in general):
gconftool-2 --type boolean --set /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/plugins/mouse/active false
and restart X
configure your touchpad directly with GNOME (System->Preferences->Mouse->Touchpad), but there are far less options...

2. modify the touchpad section in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf
| Code: | Section "InputClass"
Identifier "evdev touchpad catchall"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
#Option "TouchpadOff" "1"
#Option "HorizScrollDelta" "0"
Option "RightEdge" "5500"
Option "BottomEdge" "4500"
Option "RTCornerButton" "0"
Option "RBCornerButton" "0"
Option "SHMConfig" "on"
Option "AllowMouseOpenFail" "true"
Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "TapButton2" "2"
Option "TapButton3" "2"
Option "MaxTapMove" "2000"
Option "VertEdgeScroll" "true"
Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "true"
Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "true"
Option "CircularScrolling" "true"
EndSection |
3. comment out all lines in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf
4. restart xserver to apply the changes.
Enjoy your touchpad trip:) |
