 |
|
I have never had a problem getting synaptics touchpad driver to work.
I have:
| Code: |
x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics
Latest version available: 1.0.0
Latest version installed: 1.0.0
Size of files: 279 kB
Homepage: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-input-synaptics/
Description: Driver for Synaptics touchpads
License: MIT
|
My /etc/make.conf has:
| Code: |
INPUT_DEVICES:"keyboard mouse synaptics"
|
Not sure what I am missing? Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Cannot scroll with touchpad or tap. Just moves cursor back and forth instead of scrolling.

Hi,
try to modify the device section of synaptics in your xorg.conf like that:
| Code: | Section "InputDevice"
Driver "synaptics"
Identifier "the_name_given"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "SHMConfig" "on"
Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "TapButton3" "3"
Option "VertEdgeScroll" "true"
Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "true"
Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "true"
EndSection |
Then, relaunch your X server. |

Alright, in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file I have:
| Code: |
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
|
Should I replace that with your mentioned:
| Code: |
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "synaptics"
Identifier "mouse0"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "SHMConfig" "on"
Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "TapButton3" "3"
Option "VertEdgeScroll" "true"
Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "true"
Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "true"
EndSection
|
*Update*
Replaced with above and worked great. Thanks!
