Touchpad Solution and Touchpad Toggle as Defaults

[daniel]

Okay we will give it a try, but we need your output from dmesg, when you have tried an touchpad fix.

Try

Code: [Select]

dmesg | grep "input"
And if one of the solutions fixed your problem tell us the number of the solution, please.

Thank you to help us.

Just a thought, but synaptiks (which is in the repo) serves both purposes, and will automatically switch the touchpad off when you plug in a mouse. 

And does it all quietly in the background.  It adds a Touchpad entry to Configure Your Desktop.

Synaptiks was unable to enable tap-to-click in the log-in page KDM for my Samsung notebook with Elantech touchpad. Touchpad solutions did the trick for me.

Glad you found a solution.  synaptiks does what I want, which is mostly automatic switching.

would you like to help me an daniel developing an automatic solution by providing the data daniel requested in his post?

Since I had Elantech touchpad, I tried Option 4 straightaway and it worked for me.

I have a Lenovo G550 and tried very hard last year to do the solutions by hand (we published an article in the magazine about it) but I never could get my touchpad to work correctly...

However, the other night, I read this post and installed touchpad-solutions (I already have touchpad toggle for when I need an exterior mouse).  Solution number 5 worked for me and now my touchpad works correctly again.

I think including touchpad-solutions in the live cd is a good idea.

Thanks!

hi meemaw,

yes touchpad-solutions is a good way but we try to develop something to do an automatic detection and setting of the correct configuration.
so would you also like to share your dmesg output

From "dmesg | grep input" I get:

Hi The Chief,

thanks for sharing but would you tell us the number of the solution which worked for you or if synaptiks does the job for you compare your 50-synaptics.conf with this

Code: [Select]

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "touchpad catchall"
    Driver "synaptics"
    MatchIsTouchpad "on"
    MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
    #Option  "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0"
    Option  "Protocol"      "auto-dev"
    Option  "LeftEdge"      "1700"
    Option  "RightEdge"     "5300"
    Option  "TopEdge"       "1700"
    Option  "BottomEdge"    "4200"
    Option  "FingerLow"     "25"
    Option  "FingerHigh"    "30"
    Option  "MaxTapTime"    "180"
    Option  "MaxTapMove"    "220"
    Option  "VertScrollDelta" "100"
    Option  "MinSpeed"      "0.20"
    Option  "MaxSpeed"      "1.00"

    Option  "TapButton2"            "2"
    Option  "TapButton3"            "3"
EndSection

and tell us if they are equal if not please post your file content please.
