I'd like to reopen the bug, but being a n00b i probably am not allowed to. Anyhow, I'm having the same problem with a HP Pavilion dv7 3051sg. It's from the same generation as the HP Envy15, so it is likely to be the same touchpad - at least dmesg says the same thing as above.
The patch works in so far that I can actually left/right click on the lower parts of the clickpad that have been labeled as the trackpad buttons - but a click is not registered while there's still a finger on the touchpad! I have to lift the finger from the touchpad, then click on the button areas below, then place the finger on the touchpad again in order to e.g. drag & drop. Also, as soon as two fingers (such as when dragging and clicking at the same time) are on the clickpad, the cursor quite often jerks to the left suddenly. I assume this has got to do with the master/slave click-approach on multitouch touchpads... Tried getting SHMConfig to work by enabling it in xorg.conf, but synclient -m 50 still tells me that it cannot access the shared memory area... -- Synaptics Clickpad touchpad buttons are not working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/582809 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
