Title:
ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad right-click does not work on Samsung
NP900X4C, 12.04
Status in “xserver-xorg-input-synaptics” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I have two identical spec NP900X4C laptops. On one I installed 12.10,
on the other 12.04.
On 12.10 the touchpad works fine, including right-click.
On 12.04 the touchpad works fine, EXCEPT for right-click. The
standard settings options do not correct this problem.
I tried following the Enabling right button click instructions at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingTouchpadDetection however the enable-
rightbutton.sh script bailed out claiming the right-click area was not
defined. The issue is also simpler than the mixture of problems
reported at https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/933707
I therefore used xinput list-props on both devices to compare the
settings for the touchpad. I discovered that on 12.04 "Synaptics Soft
Button Areas" is set to all 0s, whereas on 12.10 it has specific
settings.
I therefore applied the following command and the right-button immediately
worked fine. I opened this bug so that the correct setting for this model of
touchpad can be included in the standard 12.04 package.
xinput set-prop <device-id> <property-id> 1630, 0, 1871, 0, 0, 0, 0,0
