Samsung N210 Touchpad tap

[OMSkates]

Just installed PCLinuxOS Phinx 2011 fully updated on a Samsung N210 netbook.  Tried all possible solutions here:http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php/topic,93782.msg788377.html#msg788377 and still no tap click on touchpad.  Any ideas?

what kernel do you have? 2.6.38?

did you deleted the file first?  then did you tried the third solution?

Yes, running 2.6.38bfs.   I deleted the file before creating a new one.  I also deleted the file and boot up without creating a new one.  Maybe I'll try again with 3rd solution just to make sure and report back.

Still need to map volume buttons & others with acme

[T6]

that file has no relation with the acme stuff, acme is useful only if you use gnome, if you use kde, it complicates things

Xfce 4.8 in this case.

OK, I deleted the file > pasted solution 3 > saved as 50-synaptics.conf in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d > reboot > Still NO tap enabled.

The touch pad works marvelously well as is, my sis can live without tap click.

I'd like to get volume shortcuts working; Fn-left and Fn-right should toggle volume for alsa mixer.  Will have to look for a way to map that.

Me neither.

Intel N10 Family Integrated Graphics Controller
‎  Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N450   @ 1.66GHz (sees 2 CPUs)
 ‎   SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad

you are doing everything right, don't know what else to do here 

[OMSkates]

Thanks for the replies T6   I'm going to leave as is for now.  My sis says that she doesn't really care to use the tap anyway   All else is working great

That solution (#3) seems to be missing some keywords...

From the thread:

...
      #Option  "Device"        "/dev/input/mouse0"
        Option  "Protocol"      "auto-dev"
  LeftEdge=120
   RightEdge=830
   TopEdge=120
   BottomEdge=650     
        Option  "FingerLow"     "25"             
        Option  "FingerHigh"    "30"             
...

Try:

...
  #Option  "Device"        "/dev/input/mouse0"
  Option  "Protocol"      "auto-dev"
  Option LeftEdge=120
  Option RightEdge=830
  Option TopEdge=120
  Option BottomEdge=650     
  Option  "FingerLow"     "25"             
  Option  "FingerHigh"    "30"             
...

Thanks pags,   I modified and tried again that solution with no luck.  She seems quite content without tap on that netbook.  Now I have a gorgeous new install of Summer Fairy on her 15" Sony Vaio PCG-7D2L and am struggling with getting tap to work on THIS laptop, LOL.  Trying to fix on my own before making a post, wait, I sort of just did LOL.

No problem.

I made a mistake, however (sorry  )...

The correct format (that works for me) is:

Code: [Select]

        Option  "LeftEdge"      "120"
        Option  "RightEdge"     "830"
        Option  "TopEdge"       "120"
        Option  "BottomEdge"    "650"

...this time, I did a copy/paste from my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf file...

The whole thing looks like this:

Code: [Select]

[jpaglia@core2pclinux ~]$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf
Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "touchpad catchall"
        Driver "synaptics"
        MatchIsTouchpad "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        #Option  "Device"        "/dev/input/mouse0"
        Option  "Protocol"      "auto-dev"
        Option  "LeftEdge"      "120"
        Option  "RightEdge"     "830"
        Option  "TopEdge"       "120"
        Option  "BottomEdge"    "650"
        Option  "FingerLow"     "25"
        Option  "FingerHigh"    "30"
        Option  "MaxTapTime"    "180"
        Option  "MaxTapMove"    "220"
        Option  "VertScrollDelta" "100"
        Option  "MinSpeed"      "0.20"
        Option  "MaxSpeed"      "1.00"
        Option  "AccelFactor" "0.15"
        Option  "SHMConfig"     "1"
        Option  "VertTwoFingerScroll"   "1"
        Option  "HorizTwoFingerScroll"  "1"
        Option  "VertEdgeScroll"        "1"
        Option  "HorizEdgeScroll"       "1"
        Option  "TapButton1"            "1"
        Option  "TapButton2"            "2"
        Option  "TapButton3"            "3"
EndSection
Notice the Option keyword, and the quoted value pairs...

I really need to stop trusted my memory 

It failed me many times during school, and it continues to do so now...

I just tried the above solution to get the touchpad on my NC10 working, I never bothered before as I prefer to plug in a mouse. As it happens, the four lines that were added were the ones that caused it not to work properly, without them it worked nicely!

You removed:

        Option  "LeftEdge"      "120"
        Option  "RightEdge"     "830"
        Option  "TopEdge"       "120"
        Option  "BottomEdge"    "650"

Correct?
