Hi Chase, should not this and Airam's bug be part of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+source/linux/+bug/582809? Maybe the next experience can help to build a useful config-file: Setting TopEdge = 0 (instead 1627) increases the area where the cursor can be used. With TopEdge = 1627

Hi Chase, thanks for working on that problem. Looking on the Synaptic website (http://www.synaptics.com/solutions/products/clickpad), i think my Pavilion dv7-4011eg has a clickpad. Setting AreaBottomEdge=4331 seems to work good. It is not necessary to change JumpyCursorThreshold. A entry in

After some more thought, I think this is more complex. We can determine if a trackpad is a button pad, but we need more information to determine how much bottom area should be masked. I think we should do the following: 1. Export the input device properties through udev (I'm assuming it doesn't

Hi Reinhard, It sounds like you have a clickpad trackpad. This is a known issue of clickpad trackpads and X synaptics. The fix, as you noted, is to define a bottom edge area. We probably want to do this for all clickpad devices, which I believe we have information from the kernel for. ** Changed

hi, more testing with synclient: setting AreaBottomEdge=4331 which is the same as my BottomEdge= 4331 and JumpyCursorThreshold=150 produces a better result. but still have to place first a finger in the middle of the touchpad and then on the left mouse button area. then i am able to select
