Package: linux-2.6 Version: 2.6.29-5 Severity: normal I have a ThinkPad X301 that has an ALPS touchpad. I've found that tap-to-drag (a double tap on the touchpad, but without releasing the finger from the touchpad after the second tap, which lets you drag using just the touchpad and not any physical buttons) works only if the psmouse module is loaded with the option "proto=exps".
Unfortunately, if I place "options psmouse proto=exps" into /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf so that this option is automatically enabled when the module is initially loaded, HAL fails to recognize the touchpad as a touchpad anymore, making X.Org fail to load the Synaptics input driver to enable more specialized features like edge scrolling. (Tap to click and tap-to-drag work even with just the X.Org generic PS/2 input driver, though.) Thus, there are two things I'd expect: 1) the kernel should automatically recognize that my touchpad deserves proto=exps, and 2) with proto=exps, the kernel shouldn't confuse HAL into not recognizing that my touchpad is a touchpad. Please let me know if there's any hardware information that you need in order to fix this. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.29-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
