Here is the output of xinput list and synclient -l. First, working version (touchpad as normal mouse without specific tp features?):
~$ synclient -l Can't access shared memory area. SHMConfig disabled? ~$ xinput list "Virtual core keyboard" id=0 [XKeyboard] Num_keys is 248 Min_keycode is 8 Max_keycode is 255 "Virtual core pointer" id=1 [XPointer] Num_buttons is 32 Num_axes is 2 Mode is Relative Motion_buffer is 256 Axis 0 : Min_value is 0 Max_value is -1 Resolution is 0 Axis 1 : Min_value is 0 Max_value is -1 Resolution is 0 "USB Mouse" id=2 [XExtensionPointer] Num_buttons is 9 Num_axes is 2 Mode is Relative Motion_buffer is 256 Axis 0 : Min_value is -1 Max_value is -1 Resolution is 1 Axis 1 : Min_value is -1 Max_value is -1 Resolution is 1 "Keyboard0" id=3 [XExtensionKeyboard] Num_keys is 248 Min_keycode is 8 Max_keycode is 255 And now the non working X, but with tp specific driver: ~$ xinput list "Virtual core keyboard" id=0 [XKeyboard] Num_keys is 248 Min_keycode is 8 Max_keycode is 255 "Virtual core pointer" id=1 [XPointer] Num_buttons is 32 Num_axes is 2 Mode is Relative Motion_buffer is 256 Axis 0 : Min_value is 0 Max_value is -1 Resolution is 0 Axis 1 : Min_value is 0 Max_value is -1 Resolution is 0 "ALPS Touchpad" id=2 [XExtensionPointer] Num_buttons is 12 Num_axes is 2 Mode is Relative Motion_buffer is 256 Axis 0 : Min_value is 0 Max_value is -1 Resolution is 1 Axis 1 : Min_value is 0 Max_value is -1 Resolution is 1 "USB Mouse" id=3 [XExtensionPointer] Num_buttons is 9 Num_axes is 2 Mode is Relative Motion_buffer is 256 Axis 0 : Min_value is -1 Max_value is -1 Resolution is 1 Axis 1 : Min_value is -1 Max_value is -1 Resolution is 1 "Keyboard0" id=4 [XExtensionKeyboard] Num_keys is 248 Min_keycode is 8 Max_keycode is 255 ~$ synclient -l Parameter settings: LeftEdge = 150 RightEdge = 900 TopEdge = 170 BottomEdge = 680 FingerLow = 18 FingerHigh = 23 FingerPress = 256 MaxTapTime = 180 MaxTapMove = 110 MaxDoubleTapTime = 180 SingleTapTimeout = 180 ClickTime = 100 FastTaps = 0 EmulateMidButtonTime = 75 EmulateTwoFingerMinZ = 257 VertScrollDelta = 36 HorizScrollDelta = 36 VertEdgeScroll = 1 HorizEdgeScroll = 1 CornerCoasting = 0 VertTwoFingerScroll = 0 HorizTwoFingerScroll = 0 MinSpeed = 0.35 MaxSpeed = 0.75 AccelFactor = 0.15 TrackstickSpeed = 40 EdgeMotionMinZ = 30 EdgeMotionMaxZ = 160 EdgeMotionMinSpeed = 500 EdgeMotionMaxSpeed = 500 EdgeMotionUseAlways = 0 UpDownScrolling = 1 LeftRightScrolling = 1 UpDownScrollRepeat = 1 LeftRightScrollRepeat = 1 ScrollButtonRepeat = 100 TouchpadOff = 0 GuestMouseOff = 0 LockedDrags = 0 LockedDragTimeout = 5000 RTCornerButton = 3 RBCornerButton = 3 LTCornerButton = 2 LBCornerButton = 0 TapButton1 = 1 TapButton2 = 2 TapButton3 = 3 CircularScrolling = 0 CircScrollDelta = 0.01 CircScrollTrigger = 0 CircularPad = 0 PalmDetect = 1 PalmMinWidth = 10 PalmMinZ = 20 CoastingSpeed = 0 PressureMotionMinZ = 30 PressureMotionMaxZ = 160 PressureMotionMinFactor = 1 PressureMotionMaxFactor = 1 GrabEventDevice = 1 There the problem gets clearer and clearer, if the tp is working it is recognised as a normal "mouse". But as said, I am almost sure "a few upgrades ago" everthing worked. regards Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
