 |
|
Hi,
I'm trying to setup a new gentoo box and I'm having troubles to make the touchpad's tap to work.
I have compiled xorg-server with hal useflag set, and I have no "InputDevice" sections in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
I have copied 11-x11-synaptics.fdi posted by gami in this thread, to /etc/hal/fdi/policy/.
| Code: | cat /etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-x11-synaptics.fdi
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.touchpad">
<match key="info.product" contains_outof="Synaptics TouchPad;AlpsPS/2 ALPS;bcm5974">
<merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton1" type="string">1</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton2" type="string">2</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton3" type="string">3</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.CoastingSpeed" type="string">20</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.VertEdgeScroll" type="string">true</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.HorizEdgeScroll" type="string">true</merge>
</match>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
|
Though, according to /var/log/Xorg.0.log, the the options from the fdi file seem to be applied
| Code: |
(II) config/hal: Adding input device AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint
(II) LoadModule: "synaptics"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/synaptics_drv.so
(II) Module synaptics: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
compiled for 1.7.3, module version = 1.2.0
Module class: X.Org XInput Driver
ABI class: X.Org XInput driver, version 7.0
(II) Synaptics touchpad driver version 1.2.0
(**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/event8"
(II) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint: x-axis range 0 - 1023
(II) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint: y-axis range 0 - 767
(II) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint: pressure range 0 - 127
(II) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint: finger width range 0 - 0

(**) Option "VertEdgeScroll" "true"
(**) Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "true"
(**) Option "TapButton1" "1"
(**) Option "TapButton2" "2"
(**) Option "TapButton3" "3"
(**) Option "CoastingSpeed" "20"
(--) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint: touchpad found
(**) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint: always reports core events
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint" (type: TOUCHPAD)
(**) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint: (accel) keeping acceleration scheme 1
(**) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint: (accel) acceleration profile 0
(--) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint: touchpad found

the tap action does not work.
The output of synclient -l indicate that TapButton1, TapButton2, TapButton3 variables are still set to 0
| Code: |
synclient -l | grep Tap
MaxTapTime = 180
MaxTapMove = 56
MaxDoubleTapTime = 180
SingleTapTimeout = 180
FastTaps = 0
TapButton1 = 0
TapButton2 = 0
TapButton3 = 0
TapAndDragGesture = 1
|
After setting TabButton1 to 1, using synclient, tab works properly.
How can I make tap to work without using the synclient workaround?

| Which Desktop Environment do you use? Please make sure that your settings aren't overwritten by your DE's tools at session startup. The fdi file is intended to be a default, system-wide setup which can be overwritten by the user through the DE's facilities. |

Thanks for the tip.
I've managed to make tap working, using System->Preferences->Mouse (in gnome) |

maybe the reason it didn't work beforehand is, its a touchpad that does not identify itself as one of
Synaptics TouchPad;AlpsPS/2 ALPS;bcm5974
you could try to remove this <match> line (and the corresponing </match> too, of course) There shouldn't be a problem, since you usually don't have multiple different touchpads in one computer
here's my file, works like a charm:)
| Code: | $ cat /etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-x11-synaptics.fdi
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.touchpad">
<merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">synaptics</merge>
<!--Erlaube Tappen (kurze Berührung=Mausklick)-->
<merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton1" type="string">1</merge>
<!--Erlaube Tap-Verschieben mit ausholen-->
<merge key="input.x11_options.LockedDrag" type="string">1</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.LockedDragTimeout" type="string">2500</merge>
<!--Erlaube Scrollen-->
<merge key="input.x11_options.VertTwoFingerScroll" type="string">1</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.HorizTwoFingerScroll" type="string">1</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.VertEdgeScroll" type="string">1</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo> |
