 Posted: Tue Feb 03, 2004 1:29 am Post subject: Synaptics Touch Pad Tap To Click and 2.6.1 |
 |

I got my touch pad and my wheel mouse both working, but I am not seeing any of the nicer featurs of the touch pad. It can use it but the tap to click feater is not working and that is very irratating. here is my XF86Config file:
| Code: |

It looks like you only have Mouse1 defined in the ServerLayout section. I think that you also need a line for Mouse0 to get the touchpad to be hadled by the Synaptics driver (I think right now it's just being handled by the ImPS/2 driver from Mouse1) Try modifying your ServerLayout section as below and see if that helps.
| Code: | Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Simple Layout"
Screen "Screen 1"
InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Mouse0" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
|
You may also have to add this line to the Mouse0 Device section:
| Code: | | "Option" "SendCoreEvents" True" |

I don't know about Radi's solution, but I agree with jetblack. Add a second entry in your serverlayout section. Mine looks like this:
| Code: | Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "XFree86 Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Mouse1" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection |
Note that on my machine Mouse0 is the Touchpad.
Cheers,
André

This one works fine for me.
Don't forget to enable eventmodel in the kernel pointer section |

| Great guys I'll try those tonight and let ya know. I had something in the server layout and now I forget what it was, but it was a bit different (was from the synaptics instructions I belive) and that just caused me to loose all mouse functionality. So maybe that is my problem. I'll give it a shot. |

OK added that stuff and also checked the kernel there is no eventmodel under pointers. That I can find, there is one called Device Drivers>Input Device>Event Interface ?? is this the one?
cause that is sleceted and my poor tap to click is still not working. Any other suggestions? I am running the latest synaptics driver. |

Look in your dmesg output for Synaptics. Also look in your XFree86 log and see if that shows anything.
Cheers,
André

(II) LoadModule: "synaptics"
(II) Reloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/input/synaptics_drv.o
(II) Synaptics touchpad driver version 0.12.3
(--) Mouse0 auto-dev sets Synaptics Device to /dev/input/event0
Synaptics DeviceInit called
SynapticsCtrl called.
Synaptics DeviceOn called

Try commenting out the wheel mouse configuration and making the touchpad your CorePointer. It might be easier to get it working as the only pointing device first. Once we get that going, we can move on to getting it to work with the wheel mouse.
Currently, I use the touchpad as my only pointer, and it works fine. When I boot back into linux later this evening, I'll post the relevant sections of my XF86Config in case you need help. |

k maybe we are getting somewhere. I commented out all of the wheel mouse stuff and now I have no mouse! I have a cursor but the mouse doesn't work. gonna look round the kernel some more see if I am missing something.
I am a comfortable linux user, this silly 2.6.1 kernel is very humbling. |

Ah. Yes, that is interesting. Which synaptics driver are you using? I don't think the one that is bundled with X works. If you haven't yet, try this one:
http://www.tuxmobil.org/software/synaptics/
You can configure it as described in this post. It's a long post, and the Synaptics Touchpad section is toward the bottom. Perhaps that will help. |

Has anyone been able to get palm detection working for the Synaptics Touchpad?
Thanks for posting the above too, as soon as I have KDE 3.2 compiled I'll them a shot.

| tried the driver and checked the config still not working. it was working before I started trying to get the tap function to work. Wonder what I could be missing. I'll post my file here soon again. |

Here are the relevant sections of my XF86Config:
| Code: | Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Edges" "1900 5400 1800 3900"
Option "Finger" "25 30"
Option "MaxTapTime" "180"
Option "MaxTapMove" "220"
Option "EmulateMidButtonTime" "75"
Option "VertScrollDelta" "100"
Option "MinSpeed" "0.02"
Option "MaxSpeed" "0.18"
Option "AccelFactor" "0.0007"
Option "SHMConfig" "On"
Option "UpDownScrolling" "On"
Option "CorePointer" ""
EndSection
|
| Code: | Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Simple Layout"
Screen "Screen 1"
InputDevice "Touchpad" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
|
Perhaps the protocol is the issue? I'm using "auto-dev", whereas you are using "event" (at least in your original XF86Config posting). I have similar messages to int2str in my XFree86.0.log, saying that auto-dev has set the touchpad to /dev/input/event0. That message is missing from your log, so perhaps that is part of the problem. |

That is where I am thinking it lies. If I go changing the protocol around, then X wont even come up.
I don't have an event0 in my /dev/input/ file. Wonder why I don't have that? |

Did you compile the event interface into the kernel or as module? If you compiled it as a module, put it into autload. Or compile it right into the kernel.

| nope it is compiled right in. I'll look around and try to set it up from scratch again and try all these suggestions and see what happens.... and let you all know. Thanks for all the help thus far. |

| Ah, could be. It's in there somewhere, unfortunately I don't have my laptop with me right now, so I can't find the exact location. I think it's mixed in with the PS/2 mouse support somewhere. |

Looking through everything in the kernel. Have found a IBM PC110 touchpad.
this is kernel 2.6.1-gentoo
Can't find squat in there. Gonna look again and see if I am missing it. I used the gentoo-dev-sources to get this kernel if that makes a difference. |

Hm - I just found this link, which contains this tidbit:
| Quote: | [PATCH] Input: remove synaptics config option
Remove Synaptics config option. Since mousedev was fixed with regard to touchpads generating absolute events there should no troubles for users migrating from older kernel or different hardware so we can have it always compiled in. |
So, maybe they removed it from 2.6.1 (not having my laptop here is absolutely killing me). Do you have mousedev support compiled in? |

I do not want anyone to be confused, but I do not think IBM PC110 touchpad is a must.
I am using synaptics driver for my touchpad, emerged x11-misc/synaptics-0.12.1.
| Code: | [device drivers]-->
[input device support]-->
<*>[event interface]
[*][mice]
<*>[PS/2 mouse] |
I think this is enough. At least my touchpad is working well. |
