I'd have a look at X.org drivers first.  Specifically the Synaptics
input driver, xserver-xorg-input-synaptics is the name of the package in
Debian.

I have a Panasonic CF-53 with a similar touchpad in it, connected via
PS/2, so no kernel module (other than the generic 'psmouse').

In /var/log/Xorg.0.log, I see it detected like this:

It can be configured from the command line using a tool called
`synclient`, which is, I believe, what the Gnome tools talk to.  (I run
FVWM)

I'd check that:
- you have xserver-xorg-input-synaptics installed
- this driver is being loaded in your X.org logs

Doesn't worked,
Touchpad is not detected at all.

I'm looking at kernel drivers now.

Thanks for your advice.

You don't need to have synaptics software installed. You just need to
enable two finger scroll, and tap to click from mouse settings from GNOME
settings. That's simple.

Touchpad not working properly on ASUS T300LA

[Arief M Utama]

Hi all,

Installed debian (sid/unstable) on an ASUS T300LA, a nice tablet-laptop and
debian works like a charm there except for touchpad.

Somehow I can't get the mouse (which is an ASUS Wireless Keyboard+Mice
device) works with two fingers and three fingers scrolling like a synaptics
mouse.

Synaptics module is not loaded and X also does not detect it.

Any hints/ideas?

I'm prepared to try kernel modules, or debugging X/kernel if necessary.
Still have windows on dualboot, mouse and touchpad is working alright there.

note: please cc me on replies, I'm not on the list.

Thanks in advance.

All the best.
