[Bug 1026046] Re: Missing support for thumb resting on bottom of clickpad
Thanks @Bob (caltinay) for the libinput insight. I'm using Linux Mint 19, a Bionic based distro, and was suffering from the same issue. libinput, in fact, was already installed. All I had to do is change the driver to libinput creating a file called /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-libinput.conf with the following contents: ## Section "InputClass" Identifier "libinput touchpad catchall" MatchIsTouchpad "on" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" Driver "libinput" Option "Tapping" "True" Option "DisableWhileTyping" "True" EndSection ## Clickpad now works exactly as it should. Touch sensitivity at the bottom area (where the buttons are located) is now correctly disabled.

jorgens, thanks so much for reporting that! With that information I found that I only had to copy a single file in Debian (stretch/sid) to make the touchpad work flawlessly (using libinput instead of synaptics): cp /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-libinput.conf Voila, after restarting X libinput is used for the touchpad and I can now drag, middle-click and rest my palm on there and it works!!!

[Bug 1026046] Re: Missing support for thumb resting on bottom of clickpad
After struggling with this for a long time I found out that there is a "new" driver for input devices: libinput, that replaces synaptics. I followed the install instructions as given here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/649103/proper-touchpad-thumb-palm- detection-with-libinput In addition I had to uninstall an older libinput package that had been installed as a dependency to vlc I think. Now I got thumb support and multi-touch support out of the box, and the pointer doesn't jump around on the screen any more when I'm typing.

Hi all. I am doing a fresh Debian install on my laptop and I had to re- execute my instructions from my earlier post to try to hack my touchpad into working. I ran into the same error that Pierre ran into! Eating my own dog food I guess. What I originally uploaded had a (completely unrelated) patch partially applied to it; one file was patched but another was not. I have applied the necessary patch to the header to make the source directory consistent. I honestly have no idea how my first upload compiled on my computer last time around, because it definitely should not have. Anyways, if you tried my instructions from before and ran into the "'SynapticsParameters' has no member named 'maxDeltaMM'" error, and you are still looking for a solution to this annoying problem, then give this a try.

[Bug 1026046] Re: Missing support for thumb resting on bottom of clickpad
The mtrack driver does allow finger resting in the bottom area, but I found it to be too rough around the edges in other areas that I couldn't use it. The cursor tracking feels weird and unnatural to me. It would also seem to accelerate when I would approach the bottom of my screen. Also, it seemed like it wasn't possible to segment the bottom area into right left buttons (ie. every click is a left click). This would likely be an issue with the synaptics driver as well though. Its sad that all this time has passed without proper support in linux for clickpads to emulate trackpads with physical buttons. Seems like this has never been a problem for Windows and OSX drivers. I ended up just forcing myself to use tap-to-click. I'm getting used to it, but I still don't like it. I erroneously click every once in a while and dragging just plain sucks.

Hi Bryan, Unfortunately, I can make the 1.8.1 works on my laptop. The touchpad just stop working. I don't like having to hack the driver to make it works, I'd rather a stable version that can receive update. I will stay for now with my official 1.7.4 version of synaptics without the buggy patch.

Hi Bryan, On my version (Linux Mint 17 Mate based on Ubuntu 14.04), I don't have any result with your edit.

[Bug 1026046] Re: Missing support for thumb resting on bottom of clickpad
Hi Pierre. Thank you for taking the time to create a patch.
My biggest change was moving the following up in the HandleState
function, so the low level state is corrected *before* doing button
detection (this removed the quirk that depended on the order in which
fingers hit the touchpad):
//Correct HW state by throwing out fingers outside of the active area
inside_active_area = FALSE;
hw-numFingers = 0;
for (int i = 0; i hw-num_mt_mask; i++) {
ValuatorMask *f1;
Bool mt_inside;
double x1, y1;
if (hw-slot_state[i] == SLOTSTATE_EMPTY || hw-slot_state[i] ==
SLOTSTATE_CLOSE)
continue;
f1 = hw-mt_mask[i];
x1 = valuator_mask_get_double(f1, 0);
y1 = valuator_mask_get_double(f1, 1);
mt_inside = is_inside_active_area(priv, x1, y1);
if (!mt_inside) {
hw-slot_state[i] = SLOTSTATE_EMPTY;
continue;
}
if (!inside_active_area) {
inside_active_area = TRUE;
hw-x = x1;
hw-y = y1;
}
hw-numFingers++;
}
You may notice that I removed the check to see if the touchpad is a
clickpad - I did this because it did not look like the code was being
executed. You could put that back in (turned out I was not actually
replacing the installed driver when I did make install).
Secondly, I also removed something odd from is_inside_active_area. That
function now looks like:
static Bool is_inside_active_area(SynapticsPrivate * priv, int x, int y) {
if ((priv-synpara.area_left_edge != 0) (x
priv-synpara.area_left_edge))
return FALSE;
else if ((priv-synpara.area_right_edge != 0) (x
priv-synpara.area_right_edge))
return FALSE;
if ((priv-synpara.area_top_edge != 0) (y
priv-synpara.area_top_edge))
return FALSE;
else if ((priv-synpara.area_bottom_edge != 0) (y
priv-synpara.area_bottom_edge))
return FALSE;
return TRUE;
}
I did this mainly because the code that was there was not consistent
with how the function is being used now - it would return true in
circumstances when the source finger was NOT in the active area but if
something else was (which could mess up the finger count). I don't think
I tried the first change without the second, but it is certainly
plausible that the second change could fix the type of behavior you are
talking about. I have not seen such behavior on my machine with these
changes.
It seems suspicious that the patched driver would result in no changes.
I would make sure that you are actually running your custom version of
the driver and not the stock version. Try to break something
deliberately - I would suggest putting:
if (hw-numFingers 1) hw-numFingers = 1;
After the first change and try to run the new driver. If two-finger
scroll still works you know that you are running the old driver.

[Bug 1026046] Re: Missing support for thumb resting on bottom of clickpad
Hi Pierre. Unfortunately I don't know what is going on here. The only thing I can think of is that maybe some dev packages are missing, although this is not how I would expect that kind of failure to look. What I can say is that the code your compiler is complaining about was not something I changed. Perhaps try building a vanilla version of the driver first (download the source from http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/x/x7driver.html#xorg- synaptics-driver). Once that is building correctly, go back and try my modified version. There should be more people able to help you get the vanilla version building. I hope you are successful.

[Bug 1026046] Re: Missing support for thumb resting on bottom of clickpad
Ok - since there has been little to no developer progress on this bug for a long time, I have tried to muck through the synaptics driver source code on my own to track this problem down. I tried the patch suggested by Charlie but it did not really help. It ignored a finger on the touchpad button if it was the *second* finger to hit the pad, but the problem remained if it was the first finger down. I have made an adjustment that effectively fixes the problem on my touchpad - fingers outside the active area are ignored no matter the order in which they touch the pad. I will post my modified driver source here in the hopes that it will fix the issue for other users as well. I have to say that the synaptics driver is a complete mess of spaghetti code (I found GOTO statements. That's right... GOTO statements!). I am very far from actually understanding the driver - I only decrypted enough to make this modification. The one side effect that I am aware of that results from my change is that you cannot right-click using the right soft button if you have other fingers on the touchpad already. You either need to two-finger click or remove the other fingers before right clicking. Other than that everything else works, including two-finger scrolling (onggie's suggestion sacrifices this). I do not use tap-to- click since it drives me crazy, so I have not tested this. To apply this fix you need to replace your installed xorg synaptics driver. I will try to walk you through this here. First, you need to figure out where your driver is installed. Different distributions put it in different places. If you use Debian, the driver will be installed to /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input and the extra stuff will be in other places in /usr. Some ditros put components in /usr/local/..., so you need to figure this out. I suggest using your package manager to locate the xorg synaptics driver and look at the installed files - this will tell you where they are hiding. Next, download and extract the archive I have attached. Open a terminal to the extracted directory. You need to run ./configure next, but you must pass it the installation prefix so when you install the driver it goes to the correct place for your distro. In Debian, run ./configure --prefix=/usr. If your distro stores the driver in /usr/local, then use this as the prefix instead. Next, run make and ensure that it builds without error (you will probably need some dev packages installed). Then run sudo make install. Now, you need to set the AreaBottomEdge option for the driver to define the region you want to ignore fingers in. I suggest running synclient and find the value you have for the option RightButtonAreaTop. Use the same value for AreaBottomEdge. This will make sure that the button region and the active regions butt up against each other but do not overlap. When you know what value you want to use, open the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf and add the option value to there (create this file if it does not exist). My conf file looks like this: Section InputClass Identifier Trackpad MatchIsTouchpad on Driver synaptics Option TapButton11 Option TapButton22 Option TapButton33 #Uncomment the followings to scroll with your thumb #Option EmulateTwoFingerMinZ 70 #Option EmulateTwoFingerMinW 0 Option VertTwoFingerScroll 1 Option HorizTwoFingerScroll 0 #Let finger rest Option AreaBottomEdge 1822 EndSection Finally, you will need to reboot for the new driver to be loaded (unloading and re-loading the psmouse module does not do the trick - not sure why not). When you reboot, hopefully your clickpad woes will be over.

http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=4v9JP2pe I applied the patch there , built the new package and installed. I was thrilled at first, it worked... except it introduces another problem, now when scrolling for a little while with the button held down the cursor jumps around the screen. Its like theres a warpzone spot that shows up on the touchpad and when you hit it your cursor ends up at the other end of the screen at least its some kind of progress. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1026046 Title: Missing support for thumb resting on bottom of clickpad To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/1026046/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Can someone confirm that this has been fixed upstream?

Confirmed with a 4,2 Macbook Air. Thankfully I have a trackball in hand most of the time, but this is definitely the biggest drawback I've encountered so far since switching from OS X a couple of days ago. FWIW, xf86-input-mtrack has recently added two options that sound promising: * IgnoreThumb - Whether or not to ignore touches that are determined to be thumbs. Boolean value. Defaults to false. * BottomEdge - The size of an area at the bottom of the trackpad where new touches are ignored (fingers traveling into this area from above will still be tracked). This is represented as a percentage of the total trackpad height. Defaults to 10. I don't have the heart at the moment to attempt to swap out the synaptics driver for xf86-input-mtrack (the .deb I found looks like it depends upon an experimental xorg input abi); hopefully a fix for this comes along before I get desperate enough to try... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1026046 Title: Missing support for thumb resting on bottom of clickpad To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/1026046/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
