 Posted: Sun May 31, 2009 11:53 am Post subject: Problem with touchpad |
 |
|
I want to use synaptics to have scrolling etc. working, but it seems that the touchpad is not correctly recognized.
The kernel has Event interface and PS/2 mouse built-in support.
Look at the following output:
| Code: | synclient -h
Hardware properties:
Can't detect hardware properties.
This is normal if you are running linux kernel 2.6.
Check the kernel log for touchpad hardware information.
Driver version: 10000 |
Searched the web, found no real solution to it.
| Code: | dmesg | grep -i Touchpad
[ 2.778025] Synaptics Touchpad, model: 1, fw: 7.0, id: 0x1c0b1, caps: 0xd04791/0xb00000
[ 2.819443] input: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input6 |
| Code: | dmesg | grep -i Synaptics
[ 2.778025] Synaptics Touchpad, model: 1, fw: 7.0, id: 0x1c0b1, caps: 0xd04791/0xb00000

[ 2.819443] input: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input6
|
| Code: | cat /proc/bus/input/devices
...
I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0007 Version=01b1
N: Name="SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio1/input0
S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input6

B: EV=b
B: KEY=6420 0 70000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
B: ABS=11000003 |
however, "cat /dev/input/mouse1" does not result in any output. The trackpoint and the USB mouse however give output.
What else can I do?
Ah, the xorg.conf

Anyone with suggestions? http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Synaptics_Touchpad#Touchpad_device_file tells me only this "if there is no output at
all, either the device file is the wrong one, or the kernel driver isn't loaded" but I don't know what else to do. |

In /etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-x11-synaptics.fdi
You can put
| Code: | <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.touchpad">
<merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">synaptics</merge>
<!-- Arbitrary options can be passed to the driver using
the input.x11_options property since xorg-server-1.5. -->
<!-- EXAMPLES:-->
<!--Switch on shared memory, enables the driver to be configured at runtime -->
<merge key="input.x11_options.SHMConfig" type="string">true</merge>
<!-- Active la fonction de fasttapping -->
<merge key="input.x11_options.FastTaps" type="string">1</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.MaxTapTime" type="string">180</merge>
<!-- Maximum movement of the finger for detecting a tap -->
<merge key="input.x11_options.MaxTapMove" type="string">2000</merge>
<!-- Tapping -->
<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.FastTaps" type="string">1</merge>
<!-- Enable vertical scrolling when dragging along the right edge -->
<merge key="input.x11_options.VertEdgeScroll" type="string">true</merge>
<!-- Enable vertical scrolling when dragging with two fingers anywhere on the touchpad -->
<merge key="input.x11_options.VertTwoFingerScroll" type="string">true</merge>
<!-- Enable horizontal scrolling when dragging with two fingers anywhere on the touchpad -->
<merge key="input.x11_options.HorizTwoFingerScroll" type="string">true</merge>
<!-- If on, circular scrolling is used -->
<merge key="input.x11_options.CircularScrolling" type="string">true</merge>
<!-- For other possible options, check CONFIGURATION DETAILS in synaptics man page -->
</match>

To have clicks support (left, right, middle), scroll...
I have exactly the same message with synclient -h, and as the message says, this is normal. |

Even after rebooting ?
Both hal and xorg needs to be restarted.
My xorg section is
| Code: | Section "InputDevice"
Driver "synaptics"
Identifier "TouchPad"
Option "SendCoreEvents"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
EndSection
