 Posted: Sun Jan 02, 2005 5:34 pm Post subject: Firefox and Synaptics Touchpad? |
 |
|
I have a HP laptop with a synaptics touchpad and if I move my finger certain ways it goes back a page or forword a page (some kind of mouse bindings). My question is I don't like that, does anyone know how to get rid of that or change it.
Thanks |

| Do you have ZAxisMappings set in xorg.conf? If so you could try disabling it. |

here's the section of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf that seems to have sorted this out. the problem seems to come from the edges of the pad getting used to control scrolling. i've adjusted my edge values to match pretty much the physical edge of the pad.
| Code: |
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "EdgeMotionUseAlways" "on"
Option "LeftEdge" "1200"
Option "RightEdge" "5700"
Option "TopEdge" "1200"
Option "BottomEdge" "4800"
Option "FingerLow" "25"
Option "FingerHigh" "30"
Option "MaxTapTime" "180"
Option "MaxTapMove" "220"
Option "VertScrollDelta" "50"
Option "MinSpeed" "0.02"
Option "MaxSpeed" "0.18"
Option "AccelFactor" "0.0010"
Option "SHMConfig" "on"
Option "ZAxis Mapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection

| You could also set and increase option HorizScrollDelta (which defaults to 100 on my system). If I'm not mistaken this option controlls how much horizontal movement on the touchpad is needed to trigger a scroll. |

| Forgot to mention, if you installed the synaptics tools (x11-misc/synaptics), you have two programs: synclient and syndaemon. Synclient lets you set options and experiment with them without having to continuously restart X. "synclient -l" will give you a list of available options. syndaemon is useful for monitoring the keyboard and turning off the touchpad for a specified amount of time while typing, so that you don't hit it with your thumbs by accident, moving the cursor in open office and typing all over the place while you're looking at the paper you're trying to type, not noticing until you think your finally finished and have to start all over again! grr </rant> |
