When using my synaptics touchpad on Windows, the driver has the option of giving the cursor inertia (note, not just the scrolling).
I found it a lot less straining to use the touchpad with this feature enabled.
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.
Hey im installing Ubuntu, from within windows, for a friend who would like to try it (10.04). However, while his touchpad pointer/click is working great
1. his touchpad scroll is not working.
2.the "touchpad" tab under system>mouse>touchpad is missing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi,I recently installed Statler to my new laptop, a Gateway LT3119u. It all seems to work well, with the exception of the touchpad. I have been able to boot into openbox with a properly working touchpad only once.
My touchpad is enabled using all the normal methods on my Samsung N150. However, on one userid, it does not work. The touchpad-indicator shows it disabled and the
"Enable Touchpad" feature of touchpad-indicator does nothing. On other userids,
the touchpad can be enabled and disabled.
This is independent of window manager. On other userids, touchpad works with
Unity or gnome.
Just a quick note to say that for me trying to turn off the touchpad while typing using the menu item System->Preferences->Mouse, then the "Touchpad" tab and "Disable touchpad while typing" didn't work. Accidentally touching the touchpad kept moving the curser around frunstratingly whenever I was typing.
Dear The-Wise,
I can't find a solution to my Elantech issue and believe me I have looked. I am running 12.04 on an Asus 1011px.
I can't seem to actually control the sensitivity of the pad from accidental triggering.
Hi.
A couple of days ago, I updated my system from 11.10 to 12.04 LTS. Which, fortunately, solved some X-Session-Crash-Problems. But now I noticed, that I can't use the touchpad anymore.
I'm running Touchpad-Indicator 0.9.1.6 which has the "enable touchpad"-Option disabled.
I once disabled my touchpad because I would rub against it while typing and it would move my mouse elsewhere. I have since re-enabled it from the same place (system -> preferences -> pointing device) but it remains disabled at next boot up.
I know it's a per-user setting, because when I logon as another user to the same laptop, touchpad remains enabled..
