[solved] Synaptics touchpad [continue story]

I was playing with xorg.conf from the beginning to get touchpad to work properly.
Currently I'm using KDEmod-legacy and according to Wiki advise I still can't scroll.
I removed Touchpad section from xorg.conf.

I've attached SHMConfig to enable gsynaptics, but its settings doesn't work.
I was playing with this for a while and done several X restarts.

root /home/walker #  cat /etc/hal/fdi/policy/99-x11-synaptics.fdi
   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
       <deviceinfo version="0.2">
           <device>
<!-- <match key="info.product" contains="SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad">
        <append key="info.capabilities" type="strlist">input.touchpad</append>
</match> -->
        <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.touchpad">
        <merge key="input.x11_options.SHMConfig" type="string">on</merge>
                   <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">synaptics</merge>

                   <merge key="input.x11_options.shmconfig" type="string">on</merge>
               </match>
           </device>
   </deviceinfo>

I apologise, but summer english air conditions (weather) - like Kambodja jungle makes me not fully aware what I'm doing.

Re: [solved] Synaptics touchpad [continue story]

It could be case-sensitive(SHMConfig), but I may be wrong.

Re: [solved] Synaptics touchpad [continue story]

I'm concern to make a working solution, specially for two-finger-scroll and 2 finger tapping. Unfortunately HAL doesn't get the job done and I can only rely on the Xorg.conf.

Re: [solved] Synaptics touchpad [continue story]

I also have it in xorg.conf file, here You are:

Section "ServerLayout"
    InputDevice    "SynapticsTouchpad" "SendCoreEvents"
Section "Module"
    Load  "synaptics"
Section    "InputDevice"
    Identifier    "SynapticsTouchpad"
    Driver        "synaptics"
    Option        "AlwaysCore"    "true"
    Option        "Device"    "/dev/psaux"
    Option        "Protocol"    "auto-dev"
    Option        "SHMConfig"    "false"
    Option        "LeftEdge"    "1700"
    Option        "RightEdge"    "5300"
    Option        "TopEdge"    "1700"
    Option        "BottomEdge"    "4200"
    Option        "FingerLow"    "25"
    Option        "FingerHigh"    "30"
    Option        "MaxTapTime"    "200"
    Option        "VertEdgeScroll"    "true"
    Option        "HorizEdgeScroll"    "true"
    Option        "CircularScrolling"    "false"
    Option          "TapButton1"            "1"
    Option        "TapButton2"        "2"
    Option        "TapButton3"        "3"
EndSection

In Your case, change "SHMConfig" to "true"

Re: [solved] Synaptics touchpad [continue story]

Thx thorcik, your xorg.conf solution is the best known for me.

So what the heck is wrong with HAL and its solution?
Usually when I hear HAL I predict troubles.
I think, because it's directed to KDE4 now.

Like this still unresolved problem with Hal storage mounting.

org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable no <-- (action, result)

The solution provided by some poeple does not work.
That's why I use pmount succesfully.

Re: [solved] Synaptics touchpad [continue story]

Did any of you actually make it work at all using evdev only?
