View 2 RepliesI followed guide on [URL] but I cannot disable tapping no matter how I do it.
I tried System > Preferences > Pointing devices (also Mouse one) and both unchecking "Enable mouse clicks with touchpad" and checking "Disable tapping"...doesn't work
I think that wiki needs and update cause there is way too many things are is not correct.
I don't understand what more i can do, the bellow is what i have done. is there a conspiracy against me??? (ive been through 3 distros and spent the better part of 2 months , i mean literally, all day every day, trying to get one distro to actually function at reasonabe capacity and each one is full of its own problems ) now:
This is the input device section of my old xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
I have a touchscreen (DELL model)which is working with windows xp (with windows drivers for touchscreen installed). but i want to use mandriva 2008 on the touchscreen, which requires drivers of mandriva 2008 only. I have been trying very hard but in vain.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently switched to Fedora from Debian (Fedora 12 LXDE Spin), and the one thing that bothers me is that I can't find a way to enable tapping on the mousepad to click. So far the solutions I've found have included editing the xorg.conf, which, to my understanding, is no longer included in the Fedora kernel.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a HCL K21 pdc notebook. When I install Fedora 15 KDE then there is no tapping and scrolling of touchpad. But the cursor is moving. It does not work in Live CD as well as in installaton. I have updated F15 to full but still no luck. Touchpad : Synaptics The buttons below the touchpad are working and all the options in system settings are enabled
Note : I have read a forum in which touchpad is detected as ps/2 mouse. So I tried to disable the ps/2 mouse but it disable the cursor movement of touchpad, so it may be some kind of problem!
Does Fedora supports Touchscreen computers? I am planning buy a new desktop computer and there are several models that come with touchscreen, I don't really care about this feature , I just want to know if Fedora can operates under a touchscreen system. If Fedora doesn't support touchscreen systems, Is there any plan to integrate this option in a near future?

Is it because hal have been deprecated? If so, will xorg.conf restart to work or it will be rejected in favor of hal like on Ubuntu? The touchscreen is autodetected by other distributions.

I just switched from FC10 to FC12, and much to my dismay, the touchscreen no longer works. I wasn't able to find a solution on the web, hopefully some gentle soul will answer my problem. The hardware is recognised correctly, because
Code:
hexdump /dev/hidraw0
gives an output when I over the stylus over the screen.
Note: I used hexdump because I couldn't find the wacdump utility anymore. Has it disappeared?
I played with HAL rules so that the appropriate wacom driver is loaded for the tablet. I modified /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-synaptics.fdi, taken from /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/10-synaptics.fdi, as follow (to avoid trying to load Synaptics driver for the touchpad feature of the tablet):
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.touchpad">
[Code]....
Now that the xorg.conf file seems to be a thing of the past, where do I put my serverlayout commands etc in order to get the serial touchscreen working? It responds to touchcal but doesn't work in normal use, so I presume it just needs X to be forced into loading it at startup.

1- How can I set mouse tapping to off? I have searched and all the threads I could find were related to the use of the synaptics driver. However, synclient accuses no synaptics driver being loaded and it is as far as I can tell a PS/2 mouse. kcm_touchpad also is completely grayed out. I think I'll have to write a mouse.conf to place in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ but I have no idea what to put there.
How do I enable touchpad tapping
View 4 Replies View RelatedInstall Debian Squeeze onto Thinkpad T410. Got the basic things working and noticed that - movement of touchpad results in moving of mouse pointer, which is correct, but - tapping on the touchpad does not simulate a click action. Confirmed that the touchpad hardware is working by booting into a CrunchBang LiveCD. how I can enable the touchpad tapping action?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an EeePC 1000HA with Debian squeeze, and I can't seem to find the option to enable touchpad tapping. Is there a certain config file for the synaptics-touchpad driver I need to edit?
View 6 Replies View RelatedSince when I installed Debian, I couldn't manage to make the tapping function of this touchpad work on my laptop - a Dell Latitude C610, with Debian squeeze. As suggested on [URL], I created a xorg.conf file with
Xorg :1 -configure
After that, I opened the file for editing it. There was no line regarding the Touchpad. The closest to that I found was
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection
I tried adding the lines on [URL] ... C_Xorg_7.5 to the file, but it didn't work. I also tried installing gsynaptics but, even though the tapping function was enabled there, it didn't work. A weird fact is that vertical scrolling with two finger touch is working, but not tapping.
I'd like to ask a way to enable touchpad tapping permanently in gnome. I have installed gsynaptics, it starts up with gnome, but every time I log in, I need to go to Control Center->touchpad and enable tapping manually. In openSUSE 11.3 the default behavior was that if you enabled once, it remains so. Also it would be great that tapping to be enabled by default ( like in Ubuntu ), because not everybody knows how to enable it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI downloaded it from packman and it's not working. I tried loading some old projects from when I was working Cecilia in Xandros, but they don't load. I tried loading .wav and .aiff files, but they don't load. Unfortunately, this app is useless, but it worked perfectly in Xandros (which is useless). Is there a particular repository I should be tapping instead of packman for Cecilia/Csound? Maybe this app is just plain outdated.

I've installed Debian Wheezy on my HP G62 notebook. In windows the touchpad worked well with all features. But now I can't turn the touchpad on/off by tapping on the LED, which doesn't shines. Also I can't use the double click feature.
View 1 Replies View RelatedTo all those who hit this after installing 11.3: Enable the tapping function of your touch pad by adding Option "TapButton1" "1" to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-synaptics.conf. then restart X (relogin). It will work with all WMs for which SuSE didn't bother to add a GUI config function/utility (xfce, WMaker, twm/fvwm, etc).
To SuSE: WHY? Why is this disabled by default? Why has a system/HW function to be enabled at WM level?? Why only KDE/Gnome?
I have acer aspire one netbook with synatics ps2 touchpad. It works fine, but I'd like to emulate left button by just pressing somewhere in the touch area (same as it works in windows or ubunntu). I think this is called tapping. How can I configure that? I have been in touchpad settings and management, but I have not found any checkbox helpful. In OS 11.3 I need to press left button next to the touchpad.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI work on a laptop and typically have a USB mouse plugged in. Each time I start an X session, I switch my mouse buttons with an: Quote:
xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1"
If I decide to unplug the mouse and work with the touchpad, I must always reverse the options again to pointer = 1 2 3, or else, while the right and the left button still work as a left-handed mouse, tapping, instead of acting like a left-click, gives a right-click menu. My touchpad is listed as:
'ImPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad'
using the evdev driver.
I admit that I haven't played much with alternate xmodmap configurations, but I'd like to sort this out. It's even more confusing since I don't have a xorg.conf and, if I manually add one, despite having tried repeatedly, I can't make X-server to read it.

Please help...Ive tried to get it working but assume I have done nothing please.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an eGalax touchscreen which I installed using the xserver-xorg-input-evtouch package. Now touching the screen makes the mouse pointer move in all sorts of random directions.
What I want, of course, is for the mouse pointer to move to the point where I touched the screen. Typically this is called 'calibration'. Maybe there's a program to run or something, but I can't find it. how do I calibrate my touch screen?
I'm running Jaunty 9.04 so there is no 'System -> Administration -> Calibrate Touchscreen' program.
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).
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

the lsmod output tells me that the usbtouchscreen isnt being used by anything.
How to get a older crt touchscreen working. I need it to work for a handicapped child. When I check the device it seems slackware detects it as a mac emulation mouse and I installed egalaxy drivers. It seems something is right, when I touch the screen the cursor goes to the right top corner and moves a bit when touching the screen.
View 5 Replies View Relatedjust installed debian squeeze KDE after years of ubuntu and suse.. For some reason, after I finally got both scrolling and tapping to work, I have a weird weird touchpad through my xorg.conf: - tapping on a tab in chrome closes the tab.
- tapping in a text field pastes txt that is in the clipboard, each successive click keeps pasting the same thing
- the left side of the touchpad is not enabled for vertical scrolling (?), and for some reason the directions are inverted (move finger up to scroll webpage down)
- when having multiple windows open, tapping that window will highlight it, but the previously selected window stays overtop of the now selected windows. Using the actual left click button the windows change normally.
i did some investigation and came accross mouseemu. however it seems like mouseemu is no longer part of the suse repositories. also its just available for ppcis there any way to have a behaviour like ctrl+click + rightclick?
