Using an external USB mouse does not work much better. Which ever way you configure it (using the mouse configuration user interface), it either reacts extremely sluggishly or rather hectic. -- synaptics touchpad is unusable with a macbook pro https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/202515 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

I confirm that the trackpad is hardly usuable on a Ubuntu 8.10 Alpha 2 fully updated test system (64-Bit) (MacBook Pro rev. 3): The mouse reacts extremely slowly, and going from the very bottom to the very top of the trackpad only gets you as far as 1/3 of the screen. If you try to tune it in the mouse configuration menu, it gets better as far as the vertical axle is considered, but on the horizontal axle mouse behaviour remains odd. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- synaptics touchpad is unusable with a macbook pro https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/202515 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 202515] Re: synaptics touchpad is unusable with a macbook pro
Ok i've some new infos. I noticed that when I touch the touchpad the cursor goes somewhere in the screen as if the touchpad were a tablet. eg. touching upper left corner and the mouse will go to 0,0, touching the bottom right and the mouse will go to 1210,380 This is called IIRC absolute mode. I've google a bit and I've found that I can switch from absolute to relative mode with tpconfig, in theory, but in practice it doesn't work: $ sudo tpconfig --relative Found Synaptics Touchpad. Firmware: 8.96 (multiple-byte mode). Packets: absolute, 80 packets per second. -- synaptics touchpad is unusable with a macbook pro https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/202515 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
