Debian :: Touchscreen & Mouse Touchpad Messed Up?

Apr 5, 2011

I'm posting from my brand new out of the box HP Pavilion dv6, great machine, but I'm having some hardware issues.My touchscreen isn't working.As well, my touchpad mouse isn't functioning correctly. The left/right click buttons are treated as part of the touch pad, which makes clicking things very difficult. As well, it doesn't appear to have a right click function at all

Debian Hardware :: Touchpad Recognized As PS/2 Generic Mouse

Apr 14, 2014

Debian seems to recognize me touchpad as PS/2 Generic Mouse so tapping works but I don't have touchpad in system preferences and two fingers scrolling doesn't work as well as two fingers zoom. Notebook is Samsung 530u3c. I give you some info about my system down below.

Debian Hardware :: PS/2 Synaptics TouchPad Detected As Mouse?

Jun 23, 2011

I'm running Debian Squeeze on an HP Pavilion dv6-6040ca. The touchpad featured is relatively new, which is likely the root of my problem. The touchpad with its winblows driver features a backlight, two mouse buttons (buttons,not dedicated touchpad space), and an 'on/off' switch/zone in the top left of the touchpad. The touchpad zone works well for pointing, but no gesture support. The touchpad's tap/click feature works way too well, which is very frustrating. The touchpad is detected as a mouse, so there is no option in System->Preferences->Mouse for a touchpad. Both mouse buttons function as expected. The 'on/off' switch/zone does not function, nor does the backlight.

The only feature I really need is the ability to turn off the tap/click feature, as it makes typing a nightmare. It's gotten to the point where I wrote a shell script to toggle the loading/unloading of my psmouse module (which isn't a bad solution, but I don't want my general account having access to modprobe).

Here are some details:

/proc/bus/input/devices
cat /proc/bus/input/devices
I: Bus=0017 Vendor=0001 Product=0001 Version=0100
N: Name="Macintosh mouse button emulation"

[code]....

I'm using the proprietary ATI driver (couldn't do 3D with the open driver), and I'm using a proprietary wireless module for my RaLink wireless adapter.

Passing parameters to the psmouse module
Unloading the psmouse module
Trusting HAL entirely (no xorg)

[code]....

also the xorg input synaptics driver is installed. Now here's the fun part where the obvious things I've overlooked are quickly pointed out to me.

Debian Hardware :: No Touchpad Option In Mouse Settings?

Aug 19, 2011

I've been looking everywhere to find out how to configure my touchpad so I can enable two-finger scrolling and disable-while-typing. I have a fresh installation of Debian Squeeze (I did NOT upgrade from a previous version of Debian, as that seems to cause this problem with some Ubuntu installations). I have the xserver-xorg-input-synaptics driver installed (already reinstalled it to no avail) and the gsynaptics package, which was supposed to add the tab in the mouse preferences but did not (as suggested here: I have a Samsung RF510-S01US if there is something about the touchpad this computer has that is not supported or something. (I know for a fact that this touchpad can handle multi-touch inputs, as it works under Windows 7)

Debian :: Mouse / Touchpad And Keyboard Not Working After Configuring Xorg

Jul 31, 2011

I was trying to tweak my video card's performance by configuring the xorg.conf file. There were many lines unrelated to the card there; so, to make the file cleaner, I decided to delete all the sections except the one I was dealing with. Obviously I shouldn't have done that. After rebooting the system, all the hardware that provided human interface stopped working. Now I have to find a way to delete that xorg.conf file. The computer is still connecting to the internet, and I have another computer running Debian available. Is there a way to access the broken computer with the other one?

Ubuntu :: Using A Mouse Instead Of A Touchscreen?

Jun 30, 2011

You have probably seen the TV shows and films with the law enforcement agency, or the team at "Leverage" have a large screen with other side screens.

I don't have a holographic display, or even a 60" touchscreen, but I do have a TV, and a couple of computers running 10.10 and 11.04.

What I would like to do, using a mouse instead of a touchscreen, is "push" photos, videos, or dossiers on enemy agents to another screen or phone.

I would imagine it to be something along the lines of hot zones on the desktop, so that if I flick an item to, say, the right of the screen, it will leave my desktop and pop up on the desktop of the (networked, but separate and different) computer to my right, and if I drag / flick an item to the top centre it will Bluetooth it to my phone (which I'll set up to automatically accept any files from "my.desktop.homelan".

I had something a little similar with, I think, Compiz, in that if I flicked an item to the right it would dump it onto virtual desktop 2 (of four horizontal ones).

What search terms would I use in Google or Ubuntu Help to get me started? I can compile, but I'd rather not, as I'm not very good at it, and I can edit .cfg files as long as there are plain English descriptors ("Enable_Feature_Foo=1" "Fave_Place=/home/Me/fave/" etc).

Hardware :: Touchscreen As A Mouse?

Feb 3, 2010

The problem is the touchscreen is acting like a mouse. The cursor doesn't go to where I touch, it just moves around just like a normal mouse.

This Xorg.0.log shows this about the TouchScreen

Code:
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "USB Touchscreen 595a:0001" (type: TOUCHPAD)
(**) USB Touchscreen 595a:0001: (accel) keeping acceleration scheme 1
(**) USB Touchscreen 595a:0001: (accel) filter chain progression: 2.00
(**) USB Touchscreen 595a:0001: (accel) filter stage 0: 20.00 ms

the lsmod output tells me that the usbtouchscreen isnt being used by anything.

General :: Hide Mouse Cursor In Ubuntu (for Touchscreen)?

Jul 1, 2010

I've recently got a tablet pc and I've got it nicely set up with Jolicloud - an Ubuntu derivative like Mint - but I can't hide the mouse cursor in Gnome. Now, I've read so much about tips and tricks on how to hide the cursor with terminal, X and gconf tricks in my Googling, but NOTHING works!

How do I do this definitely? Edit: Unclutter is not what I want, nor is changing the root X cursor satisfactory, because it is overridden by whatever toolkit you are using.

Ubuntu :: Mouse Press On Touchpad Does Not Work Sometimes?

Jan 30, 2010

My hardware is a Gateway LT2104u netbook.Bought it today, took it out the box and installed the netbook version of Ubuntu.Now here is the problem.The touchpad works fine. I am able to move the mouse all over the screen, the keyboard works find too. The problem is with the mouse click. The clicks are recognized when I am in the 'overview screen'. For example I can click on firefox and it opens. However once firefox is open it does not respond to any clicks. Even clicks to close firefox.

I push Alt+f4 to close the program and then I can click into any other (or the original) programs, but once inside the problem replicates.The problem was present in the 'live cd' during install as well.Does anybody know what might cause this? The whole netbook is useless at this point since I need to click to pretty much do anything in most applications (the Terminal program is one of the few exceptions )

Fedora :: Auto-disable Touchpad When Mouse Is Plugged In?

Oct 17, 2010

this issue has been bugging me for years. I want the same capability in Fedora that exists in most recent versions of Windows -- disable the touchpad on my laptop if an external mouse is plugged in. Note that my how-to is a little hardware-specific regarding the actual disabling of the touchpad; I'll discuss that more at the end of the guide.

So, here goes: For my OS (Fedora 13 x86_64) and hardware (Dell Precision M4500) - I needed a specific utility and three scripts. This Dell's trackpad and nipple-stick are seen as an 'internal' PS/2 mouse by Fedora, so I had to install 'xinput' to disable it.

CentOS 5 Hardware :: Configuring The Touchpad And Bluetooth-mouse?

Jun 30, 2011

I've installed CentOS 5.6 to my laptop, primarily to use some simulation programs. With much help of google I'm getting my hardware and software to work quite well, but I still have some troubles.My first problem is my Synaptics-Touchpad. It is extremely sensitive and I am not able to scroll. Is there any application which allows me to configure it properly? Before CentOS, I've tried openSUSE 11.4, where there was an application especially for configuring synaptics touchpad (dont't remember the name though). In general, the "feeling" of the touchpad was way much better under openSUSE, but I can't define that properly. I have a bluetooth mouse (Dicota Blue Light) conntected to my laptop, which is working fine except for the scroll wheel, which doesn't work at all. How can I activate it?

CentOS 5 Hardware :: Laptop Touchpad : Mouse Cursor Jumping After Boot / Fix It?

May 20, 2011

I have a small issue I couldn't find a solution for. I'm running Centos 5.5 on a Fujitsu-Siemens S6120 laptop. When I boot my system and use the touchpad for the first couple of seconds my mouse cursor jumps around the screen sporadically and also mouse buttons "gets pressed" by themselves (without me actually touching them). After 1-2 seconds the situation becomes absolutely normal - mouse moves good and buttons work only when I press them.
Everything repeats after the reboot.

I see the following error in the system log:
psmouse.c: Mouse at isa0060/serio4/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 1 bytes away

It appears right when I try to use the touchpad for the first time, I guess.

The situation isn't critical, but is quite annoying. Is there a way to get it fixed? I searched the Net, but found mostly issues with mouse loosing sync during operation - such thing never happened to me, as my issue appears only once per boot.

Debian Hardware :: Wheezy Not Playing Well With Touchscreen

May 20, 2014

I've just bought a new notebook and wanted to install Debian Wheezy. I bought an ASUS N550JV and since I installed Debian I've had a really bad time with Windows, UEFI boot loaders, GPT discs, touchscreens, nvidia, bumblebee, bluetooth and so on. After a few days, I've been able to boot Windows and Debian, however I'm quite unhappy with how Debian is handling the hardware.

Right now, my worst concern is the touchscreen. I don't really care whether it works or not but it is really messing with the OS. I installed Debian stable which comes with the 3.2.57 kernel. The touchscreen didn't work at all and I didn't really care until I run dmesg. Each 2 seconds I get spammed with the following text added to the dmesg output:

Code: Select all[   31.901696] xhci_queue_intr_tx: 74 callbacks suppressed

Fedora Hardware :: Asus A53S Elantech Touchpad Recognized As PS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse

Aug 23, 2011

i cant get this right for some reason. i switched from ubuntu to fedora. in ubuntu i had the same issue with the touchpad, but there i found a fix which worked with ubuntu, but not with fedora.[URL]... the problem in fedora is that i dont have any psmouse.ko module in /lib/modules/2.6.39.4/kernel/drivers/input/mouse so the patch cant really be applied so i get an error, saying there is no psmouse

i found a fix, but since my knowledge with linux is limited i didnt get it right. "I spent some time trying to get this working (and one will find other threads here, on the Fedora list, etc, where I was trying to get help), but the problem, in the end, is that Fedora doesn't install the PS/2 mouse driver as a module, but builds it into the kernel. So the solution was to recompile the kernel using the changed files from System 76's repo.

This is not nearly as difficult as it sounds. The process described in the Fedora docs, under Building a Custom Kernel, is easy enough to follow. In my case, it was even easier. I unpacked the kernel source by following the steps down through "Prepare the Kernel Source Tree" and then copied the source for the new "module" into drivers/input/mouse, replacing just the elantech.h and elantech.c files. I don't really care about getting an RPM, so I just built the kernel"[URL]..

Debian Configuration :: Touchscreen Clicks Not Recognized Properly

Apr 1, 2014

I've got a problem with touchscreen (NNK Switches 5.7" model: FT-CU04B). It is not supported under Linux, but I managed to get it working with usbtouchscreen module, after some modifications of course. It gets recognized by system now, it is possible to calibrate it correctly through xinput_calibrator but it isn't possible to "left click with it". I know that it's weird so I want to make myself clear - touchscreen recognizes touch - when touching button for example, it reacts with "going down" but when I'm releasing button, it "goes up" again, without action. I've tried mapping left mouse button with xinput set-button map 1 0 0 0 0 0, but without success, buttons remain "unclickable".

Debian Hardware :: Getting Touchscreen To Work (fujitsu Fmv-680mc4)

Sep 2, 2010

recently i got a very old laptop fujitsu fmv-680mc4 with celeron 800Mhz cpu and 256m ram.so i throwed away the hell-slow xubuntu 10.04 and put debian lenny on that machine.

everything worked smoothly(even the gnome environment!but why xubuntu with xfce always suck my cpu to its fullest?),only touchscreen did not.I've also got a copy of windows xp running on it,and touchscreen worked fine there.It's really hard to find a clue about the hardware specification(outdated,maybe deleted on their official website),I even don't know the model of the touchscreen.The only information i know is that it has a PS/2 interface and comes with an identifier 'PNP0F13' (as M$ windows hardware manager says). i remember stock 2.6 kernel do support some lifebook touchscreens,with modules compiled into kernel.But when i run cat /dev/psaux and touch on screen nothing happened(when i move the trackpad it did output some binary codes),and i move on "cat" the whole /dev/input folder but no luck still. Then i tried to modprobe some touchscreen modules in,but failed,nothing comes out from dmesg.

the question is: is there a way to get it to work(seeing binary code flow out of my console is also considered as "working")?does it need some "initialize magic code" to be brought into ready state?

Ubuntu :: Touchpad Stops Working After Pressing The Touchpad Toggle Button

May 7, 2010

I am running Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx LTS. My laptop is an HP Pavilion TX1210AU (TX1000 series). After disabling the touchpad using the toggle button and reenabling it again, it stopped working. I tried restarting my laptop and the mouse worked again only up to the Login Screen. After logging in to my account, the mouse froze again. I tried making a new account and tried logging into it (I'm using it now) and it's now fixed. Does Ubuntu change any user settings everytime the touchpad toggle (on/off) button is switched? Maybe I could just reenable it myself.

Debian Hardware :: How To Get Old Serial-touchscreen To Work With USB / Serial Adapter

Oct 9, 2015

I am hoping to be able to get an old serial-touchscreen to work with a usb/serial adapter. I had this touchscreen working some years ago on different hardware. I would like to hook it to the machine I am setting up as a multimedia host with mythtv among other things.

Following the instructions I left behind when I got this to work way back when does not work. See [URL] ....

This info is a work around to get the xserver to see the touchscreen. [URL] ....

I do know that the touchscreen works as I am able to get garbage on the screen as in the first part of my howto. But I have not had any success getting xorg to see it. I wish I had posted a copy of the xorg.conf at the time, but......

There is an issue with the current xserver in testing that I am hoping the next update (in unstable) will fix when it gets pushed to testing. That is that Code: Select all# X -configure fails with a segfault. So I am not able to generate the xorg.conf needed to get it to work. I was going to post a bugreport, that is when I found out there is an update in unstable, so I am waiting for it to get pushed at the moment.

Anyway I am hoping that I can link /dev/ttyUSB0 to /dev/tty0 and get it to work. I would like some kind of guess as to my chances of success before I go to all the work of getting the monitor hooked to the host.

Debian Multimedia :: Desktop Messed Up After Nvidia Update?

Mar 27, 2011

system update today which moved the nvidia drivers from 195 to 260.After performing the update with synaptic and restarting, I noticed that my desktop theme, "Clearlooks," was messed up in that the shiny progress band was now two separate colours (blue and white). Tried other themes (among them "Glossy") and found most of them corrupted with, for example, the progress bar totally white.Similar problem with Iceweasel 4: the tabs have lost their inferior border, and the address/search bars are surrounded by white.I suspect (though I can't be sure) that the above is caused by the nvidia update. I did an "nvidia-xconfig" to try and see if this would change things, but no.

Debian :: Can't Boot Squeeze - Messed Up The Upgrade Of The Kernel Images

Jul 2, 2010

I messed up my install so now I can't boot it. I get errors. I doubt I'll be able to fix it. I messed up the upgrade of the kernel images... I'm not sure whether there's something I could do in the Grub config file... I have one other Linux OS I can use in the meantime (plus Windows OS) so I thought maybe boot that up and check the Debian partition in case there's any files I want to save/keep. If I re-install, is Debian Squeeze LXDE still a good choice? I'm going to install something different in the partition where the other Linux OS is. Right now, it's grub is handling the boot loader. The computer is an old laptop, a Thinkpad T41. The HDD is 160GB.
