Hi, due the lack of space on my desktop I decided to add a Perixx Peripad 501 Track Pad to my Gentoo Linux.
The device came neither with a userguide nor a driver. The according webpage of Perixx does not offer both. According to Xorg.0.log and without any additional tasks, X11 recognized this pad as [ 24.595] (II) config/udev: Adding input device Mouse Pad (/dev/input/event1) [ 24.595] (**) Mouse Pad: Applying InputClass "evdev pointer catchall" [ 24.595] (II) Using input driver 'evdev' for 'Mouse Pad' [ 24.596] (**) Mouse Pad: always reports core events [ 24.596] (**) evdev: Mouse Pad: Device: "/dev/input/event1" [ 24.596] (--) evdev: Mouse Pad: Vendor 0x99a Product 0xa002 [ 24.596] (--) evdev: Mouse Pad: Found 3 mouse buttons [ 24.596] (--) evdev: Mouse Pad: Found scroll wheel(s) [ 24.596] (--) evdev: Mouse Pad: Found relative axes [ 24.596] (--) evdev: Mouse Pad: Found x and y relative axes [ 24.596] (II) evdev: Mouse Pad: Configuring as mouse [ 24.596] (II) evdev: Mouse Pad: Adding scrollwheel support [ 24.597] (**) evdev: Mouse Pad: YAxisMapping: buttons 4 and 5 [ 24.597] (**) evdev: Mouse Pad: EmulateWheelButton: 4, EmulateWheelInertia: 10, EmulateWheelTimeout: 200 [ 24.597] (**) Option "config_info" "udev:/sys/devices/platform/omap/musb-ti81xx/musb-hdrc.1/usb1/1-1/1-1.2/1-1.2:1.0/input/input1/event1" [ 24.597] (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Mouse Pad" (type: MOUSE, id 7) [ 24.597] (II) evdev: Mouse Pad: initialized for relative axes. [ 24.599] (**) Mouse Pad: (accel) keeping acceleration scheme 1 [ 24.599] (**) Mouse Pad: (accel) acceleration profile 0 [ 24.599] (**) Mouse Pad: (accel) acceleration factor: 2.000 [ 24.599] (**) Mouse Pad: (accel) acceleration threshold: 4 [ 24.601] (II) config/udev: Adding input device Mouse Pad (/dev/input/mouse0) [ 24.601] (II) No input driver specified, ignoring this device. [ 24.601] (II) This device may have been added with another device file. "It works": That is: I can move the cursor arround and I can perform clicks by tapping on the pad. The mechanical present buttons will be recognized as button 1 and button 3. As far as I can see from the output of xev, double tapping on the pad will also be recognized as button 1. But the log tells me of "three button mouse" and "adding scrollwheel support"... I googled for any information but beside a massive presence of "Synaptics" stuff there was no information I can use... How can I activate/use the additional functionality as reported by the log file? Thank you very much in advance for any help! Best regards, mcc
