[Bug 112915] Re: Synaptics touchpad doesn't work fully after upgrading from edgy to feisty
On a Dell Latitude D620 I get: $ cat /proc/bus/input/devices I: Bus=0017 Vendor=0001 Product=0001 Version=0100 N: Name=Macintosh mouse button emulation P: Phys= S: Sysfs=/devices/virtual/input/input0 U: Uniq= H: Handlers=mouse0 event0 B: EV=7 B: KEY=7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 B: REL=3 [snipped keyboard/power buttons/lid switch] I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0008 Version= N: Name=PS/2 Mouse P: Phys=isa0060/serio1/input1 S: Sysfs=/devices/virtual/input/input10 U: Uniq= H: Handlers=mouse1 event2 B: EV=7 B: KEY=7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 B: REL=3 I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0008 Version=6337 N: Name=AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint P: Phys=isa0060/serio1/input0 S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input11 U: Uniq= H: Handlers=mouse2 event3 B: EV=f B: KEY=420 0 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 B: REL=3 B: ABS=103 The laptop has a trackpad and a trackpoint (one of those nipple-mouse things). I think the GlidePoint mentioned above is the latter. Not sure what the other two are. (There's no mouse plugged in right now.) Note that gsynaptics (I think I installed it by hand) has a disable option that works only on the trackpad (the nipple keeps working), it can enable tapping (and change tapping speed), and can enable/disable vertical scrolling on the trackpad's edge. So it can do some detection. However, the sensitivity setting does nothing whatsoever. (Note that I think it's preferable that the sensitivity settings for a mouse/trackpad/trackpoint be separated. So the mouse settings applet shouldn't do anything with the trackpad unless it presents it as a separate option.) The sensitivity setting in the mouse applet doesn't affect the trackpoint, either. However, the acceleration setting affects _all_ of them (mouse, trackpad, trackpoint). So it's impossible to balance them out. -- Synaptics touchpad doesn't work fully after upgrading from edgy to feisty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/112915 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

[Bug 112915] Re: Synaptics touchpad doesn't work fully after upgrading from edgy to feisty
So, I fixed the problem, here's the description. The bottom line, this wasn't a kernel bug (for me). It seems to be, there were at least two bugs that I kept mixing up. The other was, that the kernel psmouse driver didn't recognize the Alps touchpad, so synaptics in xorg didn't work. It turns out this was not my problem. My problem was probably more related to udev rules or the upgrade process or something. The problem was, that kernel changed the 'Handler' identification of the alps device in /proc/bus/input/devices between 2.6.17 (edgy) and 2.6.20 (feisty). This change, however, wasn't propagated through to the upgrade process so that my xorg.conf file would've been updated. So the end result was, that I had the wrong device listed the in xorg.conf file in the InputDevice section for the synaptics driver. I might've had some issues in the upgrade from edgy to feisty, I have a vague recollection, so maybe the upgrade process just didn't run cleanly for me, and the xorg.conf file wasn't updated properly. The bottom line is however, that both the feisty and the gutsy kernel work for me now in my feisty installation, so this bug can be closed. br, juhis -- Synaptics touchpad doesn't work fully after upgrading from edgy to feisty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/112915 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
[Bug 112915] Re: Synaptics touchpad doesn't work fully after upgrading from edgy to feisty
Hello, First of all I tried the reload psmouse trick as suggested on the above thread, but it didn't work for me, so I'm still running edgy kernel. Today I however was feeling adventurous and tried the latest gutsy kernel in order to see how I could lower my power usage with the help of powertop... got down from around 20W to around 17W easily, quite substantial, really looking forward to being able to run a tickless kernel. But, long story short, this same bug with the synaptics touchpad is still present in gutsy. It's actually the only problem I discovered during my short test period of the kernel. I hate to be whining here, but just being curious, are there really no patches lying around that I could try and see if they'd fix the bug? Is anybody looking at this bug, hopefully it isn't forgotten, seems to me there are quite a few people with the same problem.

There's a thread in ubuntuforums about this right now - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=417492 . It seems that most people that have the touchpad problems have them because the touchpad is detected as a ordinary mouse by the kernel psmouse driver, even though tpconfig detects it as a touchpad. -- Synaptics touchpad doesn't work fully after upgrading from edgy to feisty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/112915 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

Whoops, never mind my previous entry, I wasn't thinking clearly. See, I'm running the kernel from edgy now until the bug (hopefully) gets fixed. So that command was issued with the edgy kernel. I'll post the proper listing soon, when I reboot to the feisty kernel. sorry for mixing things up. juhis -- Synaptics touchpad doesn't work fully after upgrading from edgy to feisty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/112915 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

[Bug 112915] Re: Synaptics touchpad doesn't work fully after upgrading from edgy to feisty
me again... Actually, from looking at the bug #89603 more closely I'm pretty confident, that what I'm seeing is in fact the same bug, but the symptoms may be a bit different. This is because just like in the afore mentioned bug, when I boot my *current feisty installation* with the *kernel from edgy*, the touchpad functions normally, ie. the scrolling functionality works perfect This is the edgy kernel: Linux laptop 2.6.17-11-generic #2 SMP Tue Mar 13 23:32:38 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux So this seems to be a kernel bug. I'm attaching the dmesg output in here.
