I have created a package to put the trackpad at "/dev/input/appletouch" for reliable use via a udev rule. It also adds a hook and script to "/etc/initramfs-tools/" to load appletouch early in the boot process. Thus far, I have had success with it, but there are issues:
- It requires appletouch driver already in the kernel - It requires manual x config for the synaptics touchpad. Is there an overall plan to have all built-in trackpads point to a single /dev/input/trackpad or something along those lines? Future x.org versions may not need special configuration anyway. - It always tries to load appletouch. It should probably scan for a supported trackpad before attempting. - There is probably a better way to do this. ** Attachment added: "Source and "binary" (i386) package files" http://librarian.launchpad.net/5722663/appletouch-init-pusher-package-files.tar.bz2 -- macbook trackpad support https://launchpad.net/bugs/61223 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
