 |
|
Hello there,
I'm stuck at getting my synaptic touchpad to work with my Xorg...
I am able to move the cursor, but when pressing on the touchpad to click nothing happens...
I followed threads to get Synaptic working but since they were all aimed at Xfree, I wonder if there is not something tricky with Xorg that I cannot find out 
Here is my xorg.conf
| Quote: | Section "Module"
Load "dbe" # Double buffer extension
SubSection "extmod"
Option "omit xfree86-dga" # don't initialise the DGA extension
EndSubSection
Load "type1"
Load "freetype"
Load "synaptics"
EndSection
# Touchpad - Synaptics driver
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "synaptics"
Identifier "Mouse [touchpad]"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event1"
Option "Protocol" "event"
Option "LeftEdge" "1900"
Option "RightEdge" "5400"
Option "BottomEdge" "1800"
Option "TopEdge" "3900"
Option "FingerLow" "25"
Option "FingerHigh" "30"
Option "MaxTapTime" "180"
Option "MaxTapMove" "220"
Option "VertScrollDelta" "100"
Option "MinSpeed" "0.02"
Option "MaxSpeed" "0.18"
Option "AccelFactor" "0.0010"
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Simple Layout"
Screen "Screen 1"
InputDevice "Touchpad" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Mouse [touchpad]" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection |
Ok, here are the problems...
If I have the xorg.conf like that, the keyboard is not responding, like a dead keyboard...
I do have the synaptics driver installed and I double checked that the synaptic uses /dev/input/event1
Any idea? how to solve that? I have been playing for more than a week with synaptics, but can't see a damned issue for this problem

I see the following in your config:
InputDevice "Touchpad" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Mouse [touchpad]" "SendCoreEvents"
My guess that "Touchpad" is driven by regular X "mouse" driver and that's where you get your movement from and synaptics is not initialized at all. Look in XOrg startup log and check why Synaptics driver fails to initialize ...
And, just in case, could you please post output of 'cat /proc/bus/input/devices'?

Thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have the touchpad working as well as the scrolling working  That's great!
So here are the things, which made the thingie works...
| Quote: | InputDevice "Touchpad"
InputDevice "Mouse" "CorePointer" |
The CorePointer definition needs to be used only once... when I was trying to use it for the Touchpad and for the classical mouse definition...
And the very interesting point is the Option "SendCoreEvents" that needs to be inserted in the Touchpad parameters and not in the ServerLayout!!!
So thanks again, cos' I never found somewherelse a working Xorg.conf with touchpad working!
HTH someone else too
