Synaptics touchpad / x.org

Zym0tiC · 2004-05-16 21:44:00

I'm trying to get the synaptics driver working in x.org for my touchpad.
(tap = klik and a scrolling area in the pad)

This is how my /etc/X11/xorg.conf looks like:

Section "Module"
    ...
    Load       "synaptics"
    ...
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
  Identifier    "synaptics"
  Driver        "synaptics"
  Option        "Device"        "/dev/misc/psaux"
  Option        "Protocol"      "auto-dev"
  Option        "LeftEdge"      "1700"
  Option        "RightEdge"     "5300"
  Option        "TopEdge"       "1700"
  Option        "BottomEdge"    "4200"
  Option        "FingerLow"     "25"
  Option        "FingerHigh"    "30"
  Option        "MaxTapTime"    "180"
  Option        "MaxTapMove"    "220"
  Option        "VertScrollDelta" "100"
  Option        "MinSpeed"      "0.06"
  Option        "MaxSpeed"      "0.12"
  Option        "AccelFactor" "0.0010"
#  Option        "SHMConfig"     "on"
#  Option       "Repeater"      "/dev/ps2mouse"
EndSection


    InputDevice "Mouse1" "Corepointer"
    InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
    InputDevice "synaptics" "AlwaysCore"

I had _no_ problems by compiling and installing the driver.
I already tried to switch Corepointer and alwayscore between Mouse1 and synaptics.
With the code shown above kde boots but no tapping or any other synaptec feature.
If I set corepointer to synaptics and alwayscore to mouse1 then I get the following error:

Query no Synaptics: 6003C8
(EE) synaptics no synaptics touchpad detected and no repeater device
(EE) synaptics Unable to query/initialize Synaptics hardware.
(EE) PreInit failed for input device "synaptics"
(II) UnloadModule: "synaptics"

I already enabled and disabled this line: # Option "Repeater" "/dev/ps2mouse"

You have to load evdev module (modprobe evdev). Have you done that already?
I compiled / installed synaptic drivers yestarday on my lap. Just followed it's readme.
Feel free to contact me via pm, so I can send you my config.

Thanks for the advice, when I get home I will try to load evdev.

for the search:

evdev did the job

edit: on problem remains. I have to close kde when I want to switch from mouse to touchpad

today I changed from devfs to udev but now I'm back to the beginning no dubbel tap :cry:

nothing changed in xorg.conf

/dev/psaux is there pointing to /dev/mouse (660)

double tap not working with here either (running uDev with alps.patch)
but scrolling works like a charm

if anyone has a sollution for the doubletap with uUdev, please post.

don't use "AlwaysCore" use "SendCoreEvents" in x.org

I set my touchpad up with ZAxisMapping and the scroll worked.....

soniX · 2004-09-29 01:00:57

I have no idea what happened... but now double-tapping works..
Im happy
