I'm trying to re-enable the synaptics touchpad on my laptop after disabling several months ago... And I can't remember which method I used to disable it.
Your `xinput list` output lists the touchpad as "PS/2 Generic Mouse", which is wrong.
Hello. I'm having a pretty annoying problem. I can't seem to disable clicking on my laptop's touchpad. I went into the Gnome mouse settings, but the Enable mouse clicks with touchpad option is checked and grayed out. I have also tried to edit my xorg.conf, but there is nothing in it! Lastly, I've tried to edit 10-synaptics.fdi file, but that didn't do much.
Finally with the 3.2 kernel released the touchpad on my Samsung 7 series 700z5a is recognized as a synaptics capable device. Xinput reports it as ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad. I'm really happy about this! There is though some problems with the default configuration of synaptics, I have been playing around with them for a bit now and would like to share my findings.
Hi all, I have a new System76 Gazelle running Ubuntu 12.10. Accidental input on the touchpad is out of control and has become a serious issue. The usual clicking in a different spot while typing problem occurs.
I want to use my Thinkpad T40's touchpad for gestures only, not for mouse movement. Is there any way to accomplish that?
Even with disabled Touchpad, synclient shows touchpad strokes, so it should be possible to intercept these strokes and use them for gestures.
I have tried easystroke before, but it didn't seem to work with my touchpad at all, not even with an enabled one.
Yeah, this doesn't work for me. I'm 100% I did everything correct. I went over everything a lot of times. It doesn't work.The scrip works. If I click it. So clearly, lsusb works, the script works, the touchpad gets disabled if I have my mouse in and it doesn't if I don't.The problem is that it's not automatic.
I have one Kubuntu computer running 11.10, after the updates a few days ago my synaptics touchpad died, it simply refuses to run, I am sure its a software thing because it works if I use a LiveCD.
Keyboard is working perfect, I can login, open a terminal and use my computer but would be nice to make the touchpad run again.
Anyone can guide me on where to find information and how to enable my tou
For example, I want to get only the 3rd element in each row when I call:
xinput --list --short|grep "slave pointer"
I get the output:
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=11 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ MCE IR Keyboard/Mouse (ite-cir) id=12 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Logitech Unifying Dev
