OpenSUSE Hardware :: Synaptic Touchpad Recognizes Only One Finger

Nov 25, 2010

I read that synaptic touchpads should support multitouch and as I have one of those I tried to enable it. However I wasn't successful.

After some digging in config files (I had to enable SHMConfig) I ended up with KDE configuration tool which is really cool but all multitouch options are there disabled. And also there is an information which says that only one finger is detected by this touchpad.

Is something wrong or my touchpad just doesn't support multitouch? I got this laptop 1.5 years ago so it's not very old.

And by the way, I have this in my Xorg.0.log

Code:
[ 28.821] (--) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: touchpad found
[ 28.821] (II) config/udev: Adding input device SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad (/dev/input/mouse2)
[ 28.821] (EE) No input driver/identifier specified (ignoring)

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Unable To Configure Synaptic Touchpad On Acer Notebook For 11.3

Dec 23, 2010

I have an Acer Aspire 5740 with a synaptics touchpad. I have tried using the ksynaptics program as well as the touchpad settings under System Settings >> Computer Administration. My touchpad works, but it is driving me crazy with how sensitive the tap to click feature is. I want to disable it altogether so I can actually work on my computer. When I go to the touchpad section in System Settings >> Computer Administration >> Keyboard & Mouse, the tab says "Warning: Touchpad configuration is not supported on this system. The synaptics driver is either not loaded or too old. Refer to doumentation for information about the required driver version."

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Synaptic Touchpad In 11.3 - Strange Behaviour With Dragging And Middle Click

Jul 19, 2010

One strange and little annoying issue I notice with my openSUSE 11.3 installation is my Synaptic touchpad behaves way too strange.... Dragging a window or icon - half way around - a click is generated (probably a middle click I guess) and I need to re-drag it again.... In the browser when I try to select a text - again by dragging - a middle click gets generated... The same happens when I use gvim in visual mode too - I end up pasting the code I had selected halfway because of the middle click....

Middle click can be generated only if I press both left and right click buttons - which I'm pretty sure I'm not.... I tried playing around with the touchpad settings but no good.... I'm not able to find anything related to the middle click on the settings application... My touchpad works fine in Ubuntu and was in 11.2 as well.... Yes it works fine in Xp too.

Ubuntu / Apple :: Ignore Finger Resting At Bottom Of Unibody Macbook Pro Touchpad?

Mar 27, 2010

I spent the last hour and a half googling for pointers, reading manpages,and trying synaptics settings to get my touchpad to work like it does in OSX on my unibody macbook pro.I can't find anything that works.What I want: Since my MBP 5,4 doesn't have a dedicated mouse button, I normally rest my thumb on the bottom section of the touchpad.That way I can tap with my thumb while using my index finger to move the pointer.OS X smartly ignores the fact that my thumb is resting on the touchpad,and lets me move the pointer as if my thumb weren't there.I can then use my middle finger for two finger scrolling, and everything magically works

On my nice shiny new install of Ubuntu 9.10, if I have my thumb anywhere on the touchpad, it registers as a two-finger scroll,thus making it impossible to move the pointer while resting my thumb on the touchpad.Even if I disable two-finger scrolling, the cursor will not move with two fingers on the touchpad.A passable solution would be disable two-finger scrolling detection in the lower part of my touchpad, or even disable the lower part of the touchpad completely.A better solution would be to allow me to scroll into the lower portion, but not initiate a two finger scroll from the lower portion.

Synaptics settings that have not worked for me:

AreaBottomEdge: This disables moving the pointer from the bottom section of my touchpad, but does not disable two-finger scrolling from the bottom section. This is essentially the exact opposite of what I want.

BottomEdge: This doesn't seem to have any relation to two-finger scrolling.I haven't been able to get anything useful to come out of setting this.These references haven't helped (although they are interesting):I haven't been able to find any threads discussing this particular issue.

Ubuntu :: Found That Two Finger Tapping Touchpad Has Gone From Middle Click To Right Click?

May 1, 2010

I'm newish to the forum, but have been using ubuntu for the past few months.I recently upgraded from eeebuntu (a 9.04 derivative) to 10.04, and found that two finger tapping my touchpad has gone from middle click to right click, (and 3 fingers is now middle instead of right).

From what I've seen, this has been changed since 9.10, but I haven't been able to find a permanent solution yet. Most fixes have been from before and use hal, or other things that don't exist anymore. The one thing I've found does work is using xinput and the command

Code:
xinput set-prop "ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad" "Synaptics Tap Action" 2, 3, 0, 0, 1, 2, 3

But that has to be run every time I start up, and it occasionally reverts while I'm using the computer. I've tried making a script that runs at startup, but neither adding it to the list of startup programs, or autostart folder has worked, but running the script file manually does work. I'm a bit at wits end with this, it's the only issue I've had with 10.04, and I've spent many many hours trying to get it to work (I've also tried gsynaptics and the newer version whose name escapes me right now). Hopefully there's a permanent fix out there.

Debian :: Synaptic Touchpad In HPmini 210 Netbook?

Nov 2, 2010

I am trying to make it work in a fresh Squeeze install. After installation, only the left mouse works. It seems mouse driver and not synaptics is loaded. I checked the package manager and saw xserver-xorg-input-synaptics packaged installed.

How do I load the synaptics driver and how do I verify I have it? I would like to make sure that before playing with the options.

Hardware :: System Does Not Recognize Synaptic Touchpad?

Sep 10, 2010

A cat of /proc/bus/input/devices just shows the keyboard and pc speaker. I am running the 2.6.30.9 kernel on a RHEL 5.4 system. The stock kernel works fine. I have compared the kernel config files and do not see anything different in the INPUT Device area. Could it be that USB mouse driver is interfering? Is there something out side the INPUT Device section that the synaptic touchpad needs?

Fedora Hardware :: Two Finger And Three Finger Tap Reversed In F14?

Feb 3, 2011

i upgraded from f13 to f14 using preupgrade.

now, as the title suggests, the two finger tap acts as a right click, and the three button tab acts as a middle click. and also the tap to click seems disabled by default.

after reading this page, [URL], i created a 50-synaptics.conf file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ and put this inside.

Code:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad catchall"
Driver "synaptics"

Debian Hardware :: Synaptic Touchpad Dead After Kernel Upgrade

Nov 28, 2014

I'm using debian testing with cinnamon. After upgrading the kernel to version 3.17.2 (but I've also tried the 3.17.3 and 4) the synaptics touchpad died, as if it doesn't exist. I can't go back to the old kernel because the new one has solved a problem about freeze during the shutdown process, so I need it. Note that even with Mint 17, after upgrading the kernel, the touchpad stopped working in the same way.I believe that the touchpad is not seen , rather than loaded .xserver-xorg-input-synaptics and multitouch are installed.$ synclient

Code: Select allCouldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?

$ xinput list
Code: Select all⎡ Virtual core pointer                       id=2   [master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                 id=4   [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ SIGMACHIP USB Keyboard                     id=11   [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ MLK Trust Mouse 15313                      id=12   [slave  pointer  (2)]

Debian Configuration :: Synaptic Tapping - Left Side Of The Touchpad Is Not Enabled For Vertical Scrolling

Dec 2, 2010

just 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.

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.

OpenSUSE Hardware :: How To Configure Synaptics TouchPad

Oct 26, 2010

I have a new HP ENVY 14 laptop with OpenSuSE 11.3 installed, running the Gnome desktop. The laptop has a Synaptics TouchPad. By default, many of the touchpad settings are turned off, e.g. single tap to click. I'm trying to set them in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-synaptics.conf code...

I've verified that the settings I'm trying to set work when I set them using synclient, e.g. synclient TapButton1=1 enables tap to click.

I'm brand new to Linux and OpenSuSE so I'm not even sure this is the preferred way to set up my touchpad. I'd appreciate any help diagnosing this problem.

OpenSUSE Install :: Touchpad Not Responding At Login

Sep 29, 2010

I installed openSUSE 11.3 Edu-life version a few days ago as dual-boot with Windows 7. The graphics are beautiful, and so much smoother than Ubuntu and Windows. Everything has been going great until I booted up tonight, and my touchpad nor keyboard will respond at the user login. I even plugged in an external keyboard and mouse, but still no response. I looked around on the forums, and it seems that most touchpad issues are related to GNOME and after login. But, I haven't even started a session yet. openSUSE is installed on a Dell studio xps 1640 laptop. Any ideas? I tried the fail-safe option at the GRUB, and the keyboard responds in that terminal environment.

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Synaptics Muliti-Gesture Touchpad On 11.2

Jan 24, 2010

To cut to the chase, I have an ACER Aspire 8735G-6502, a fairly new model. I'm having issues configuring the multi-gesture to the touchpad to do any of the gestures. In fact when more than one finger is placed on the pad, the pointer flies around the screen in a random pattern. Does anyone have advice on either the configuration of the gestures, or a way of disabling any gestures and just having it be a single digit (classic) touchpad.
