@Davide "Is there a way for reducing the area of the touchpad..." Yes, in fact my original patch disabled the button area just like Ubuntu 10.04. Assuming that you used Pauls instructions in post #61, try this: open /usr/src/psmouse-2.6.35-22-generic/src/synaptics.c with a text editor. search for and delete the following line: "if (hw->z > 77)". Enter the following commands into a terminal: sudo dkms build -m psmouse -v 2.6.35-22-generic sudo dkms install -m psmouse -v 2.6.35-22-generic sudo rmmod psmouse && sudo modprobe psmouse
"This is really frustrating..." I agree. I think the problems that you described are due to issues in the xorg input synaptics driver. Hopefully they will be sorted out by Ubuntu 11.04. I use a 2 finger click for right click instead of the physical buttons which works very good. I have also gotten used to dragging by using the double tap-drag technique instead of click and drag. This way I can avoid using the physical buttons all together. There has been some nice work on a true multitouch solution for the synaptics touchpads, and I hope that it makes it into the next version of Ubuntu. -- Synaptics Clickpad touchpad buttons are not working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/582809 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
