Touchpad/media keys
Hi there! Enjoying Arch, but for the life of me, cannot get touchpad scrolling to work! Touchpad cursor works, as well as tap/double-tap, but no scrolling. I cannot run synclient, even though I have SHMConfig enabled in xorg.config. Will someone take a look at my xorg.config, and see if they can spot any obvious error?

Re: Touchpad/media keys
Have you read and followed those instructions? What about hotplugging?

Re: Touchpad/media keys
I have tried hotplugging disabled and enabled. I used the sample .fdi file from the wiki, and modified my xorg.conf to match... still no success. I'll be happy to post any config files requested. Thanks for your help.

Re: Touchpad/media keys
I have hotplugging enabled and all I had to do was to add Load "synaptics" to the Module section in my xorg.conf
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !

Re: Touchpad/media keys
If you look above, I have that entry in "Module"-- or do you mean, you don't have anything else related to the touchpad?

You've used the sample .fdi file from the wiki, but there's just one version and it does not work with ALPS touchapds. So maybe you have one of these (just like me)?

Re: Touchpad/media keys
Ok, so I've tried both of your suggestions in turn, restarting X each time, and nothing has changed. I replaced the .fdi file--nothing. I deleted everything in xorg.conf related to synaptics except for the module entry--nothing. I must say that I'm surprised that the touchpad works the same no matter which method I try, but still no scrolling.

Re: Touchpad/media keys
Did you pacman -S xf86-input-synaptics?
Also, for your xorg.conf, move your current one elsewhere, and try without using a xorg.conf.
If that doesn't work, try this:

if your touchpad is an ALPS one, there is no point in you loading the synaptics module. That is why you need to put everything in the fdi file

The main thing I see wrong with your xorg.conf is that you have the your identifier as:
Identifier "SynapticsTouchpad"And you have no matching configuration in your "ServerLayout" section:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "X.org Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSectionTry it with the part below where I added: InputDevice "SynapticsTouchpad" "SendCoreEvents"
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "X.org Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"

Re: Touchpad/media keys
I tried methuselah's suggestion first. Cursor moves much more slowly, tapping has been disabled, and scrolling still doesn't work. Thanks for spotting the inconsistency though! Moving on to the next suggestion...
I tried removing my xorg.conf... cursor speed back to "normal"/fast, tapping still disabled, still no scrolling. Moving on...
I replaced my xorg.conf with the one suggested by wintervenom... same results as no xorg.conf above.

With my suggestion..... you might have to add tapping as well as adjust your settings for pressure/sensitivity (the synclient should hopefully work now?)...... don't be so quick to "move on".
Try adding this to your SynapticsTouchpad" section to add tapping:
Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "TapButton2" "2"
Option "TapButton3" "3"
Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "true"Also try it without this line (I don't have it in my xorg.conf):
Option "AlwaysCore" "true" # send events to CorePointerYou are also using two different "Device" locations for the "SynapticTouchpad" section and the "Mouse0" section. You have your "Mouse0" section written as this:
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"Try using the same location that you put in your "SynapticsTouchpad" section so the "Mouse0" sections reads as (using "/dev/psaux"):
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSectionTry this and let me know if anything worked.

Re: Touchpad/media keys
Sorry about "moving on" so quickly... it's just that I really have only the vaguest idea about what this stuff is actually doing, so I am limited to implementing specific suggestions. I believe I've followed your instructions. Cursor speed is slowed again, still no tapping or scrolling. I'm reposting my xorg.conf since I've made some changes since the start of this thread. *edit* yes, synclient is working now, and I can adjust cursor speed to my liking, but scrolling/tapping still doesn't work despite enabling in gsynaptics.

Re: Touchpad/media keys
I didn't mean to sound rude with the "moving on" comment.... so I apologize if it sounded that way.
As for your xorg.conf.... I don't see anything wrong with it anymore..... but I am far from an expert so there might be something that someone else will spot..... or maybe it's something else completely different.....
I'll post my xorg.conf for my HP Pavilion dv9920us AMD Turion 64X2 TL-60 with NVIDIA GeForce 7150M / nForce 630M:

Re: Touchpad/media keys
no problem man, your point was well taken. i do feel like i've done a lot of things "halfway"... i really don't want to start over, but perhaps i've got too many things at odds with each other by now. i'm using a Dell Inspiron 6100, with some kind of ATI gfx card. this laptop is several years old.

In no way did I mean you did anything halfway.... In fact you seemed to be doing 3 or 4 different things at the same time so you couldn't see if it was one thing not working or the other. Now that you have the "identifiers" correct and synclient working, you can now try some other ways to fix your scroll issue.
And messing around for your first time with xorg.conf isn't easy.
Have you searched this forum for others that have the same hardware as you. That would be your best thing for now. Also google for your laptop model and the xorg.conf files.... you might find the answer in a different distro's forum.
Good luck.

Re: Touchpad/media keys
Been looking around... found something in an Ubuntu thread, but it made the issue "worse" without giving scroll functionality. Also, I've been seeing something about a 'patch'... I think this is something that I would have to compile my own kernel for, and add the patch. I am definitely not going to do that! I'll keep looking, but I'm also going to try out Shift Linux.
