Hi
I've tried all the settings it seems and googled this problem, but I can't get the cut and paste function working in a console on an old Thinkpad using the touchpad. Can anyone help here?
cat /proc/bus/input/devices gives:
I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0007 Version=2cb1
N: Name="SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio1/input0
S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input6
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=mouse0 event5
B: PROP=1
B: EV=b
B: KEY=6420 0 30000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
B: ABS=11000003
So my /etc/systemd/system/gpm.service.d/99-user.conf reads:
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/gpm -m /dev/input/mouse0 -t imps2 - or
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/gpm -m /dev/input/mouse0 - or
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/gpm -m /dev/input/event5
Nothing works - any ideas?
thanks Cliff
If there are physical buttons, it should simply be a two button paste.
If it's one of those new fangdangled ones where there is no physical
buttons, you can try -t synps2. Can also try different finger
combinations with the imps2 type. Also, how about -m /dev/input/mice?
Failing those, maybe emulation is dependent on gestures in the hardware,
maybe try a two finger click/double tap (make sure there is a gap).
After that, I'm out of ideas. Please let us know if any of the above
helps as it will likely help somebody else as well.
Thanks.
