Public bug reported: Some settings that I have set in xorg.conf for the synaptics driver are not being accepted or overwritten at some point during the start of X11.
My relevant parts from xorg.conf look like this: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad" Driver "synaptics" Option "SHMConfig" "true" Option "SendCoreEvents" "true" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Protocol" "auto-dev" Option "LeftEdge" "160" Option "RightEdge" "910" Option "TopEdge" "150" Option "BottomEdge" "640" Option "FingerLow" "4" Option "FingerHigh" "8" Option "MaxTapTime" "180" Option "MaxTapMove" "40" Option "MaxDoubleTapTime" "60" Option "SingleTapTimeout" "120" Option "ClickTime" "20" Option "FastTaps" "0" Option "EmulateMidButtonTime" "75" Option "VertScrollDelta" "17" Option "HorizScrollDelta" "0" Option "VertEdgeScroll" "1" Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "0" Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "0" Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "0" Option "MinSpeed" "0.7" Option "MaxSpeed" "1" Option "AccelFactor" "0.05" Option "EdgeMotionMinZ" "100" Option "EdgeMotionMaxZ" "130" Option "EdgeMotionMinSpeed" "100" Option "EdgeMotionMaxSpeed" "230" Option "EdgeMotionUseAlways" "0" Option "UpDownScrolling" "1" Option "LeftRightScrolling" "1" Option "UpDownRepeat" "1" Option "LeftRightRepeat" "1" Option "ScrollButtonRepeat" "100" Option "TouchpadOff" "0" Option "GuestMouseOff" "0" Option "LockedDrags" "0" Option "RTCornerButton" "3" Option "RBCornerButton" "2" Option "LTCornerButton" "0" Option "LBCornerButton" "0" Option "TapButton1" "1" Option "TapButton2" "2" Option "TapButton3" "3" Option "CircularScrolling" "0" Option "CircScrollDelta" "0.1" Option "CircScrollTrigger" "0" Option "CircularPad" "0" Option "PalmDetect" "1" Option "PalmMinWidth" "10" Option "PalmMinZ" "200" Option "CoastingSpeed" "0" Option "PressureMotionMinZ" "30" Option "PressureMotionMaxZ" "160" Option "PressureMotionMinFactor" "1" Option "PressureMotionMaxFactor" "1" EndSection [...] Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen "Default Screen" InputDevice "Generic Keyboard" InputDevice "Configured Mouse" InputDevice "Synaptics Touchpad" EndSection Which results in the following actual settings, as displayed by $synclient -l Parameter settings: LeftEdge = 160 RightEdge = 910 TopEdge = 150 BottomEdge = 640 FingerLow = 25 FingerHigh = 30 MaxTapTime = 87 MaxTapMove = 40 MaxDoubleTapTime = 60 SingleTapTimeout = 120 ClickTime = 20 FastTaps = 0 EmulateMidButtonTime = 75 VertScrollDelta = 12 HorizScrollDelta = 0 VertEdgeScroll = 1 HorizEdgeScroll = 0 VertTwoFingerScroll = 0 HorizTwoFingerScroll = 0 MinSpeed = 0.7 MaxSpeed = 1 AccelFactor = 0.05 EdgeMotionMinZ = 100 EdgeMotionMaxZ = 130 EdgeMotionMinSpeed = 100 EdgeMotionMaxSpeed = 230 EdgeMotionUseAlways = 0 UpDownScrolling = 1 LeftRightScrolling = 1 UpDownRepeat = 1 LeftRightRepeat = 1 ScrollButtonRepeat = 100 TouchpadOff = 0 GuestMouseOff = 0 LockedDrags = 0 RTCornerButton = 3 RBCornerButton = 2 LTCornerButton = 0 LBCornerButton = 0 TapButton1 = 1 TapButton2 = 2 TapButton3 = 3 CircularScrolling = 0 CircScrollDelta = 0.01 CircScrollTrigger = 0 CircularPad = 0 PalmDetect = 1 PalmMinWidth = 10 PalmMinZ = 200 CoastingSpeed = 0 PressureMotionMinZ = 30 PressureMotionMaxZ = 160 PressureMotionMinFactor = 1 PressureMotionMaxFactor = 1 Notice how FingerLow, FingerHigh, MaxTapTime, VertScrollDelta differ. They are apparently set to some kind of default value. ** Affects: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- synaptics driver disregards some xorg.conf settings https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/160624 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
