** Description changed:
"ClickPad" devices are those with the buttons integrated into the touch
surface. Examples include most newer Synaptics touchpads and all Apple
multitouch touchpads. These devices currently have poor support for
click and drag. When the user presses with one finger and then tries to
- drag the cursor with a second finger, the cursor stops either sits there
- or begins scrolling. Also, the current behavior makes no distinction
- between left and right click button areas.
+ drag the cursor with a second finger, the cursor either sits there or
+ scroll events begin to be sent depending on the trackpad preferences.
+ Also, the current behavior makes no distinction between left and right
+ click button areas.
The proposed feature enables click and drag with two fingers.
Optionally, a right button area may be enabled which allows for presses
in the area to be sent as right button events instead of left button
events.
The current patches may be found at:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~cndougla/xf86-input-
synaptics/log/?h=clickpad-v2. The changes include everything newer than
the "master" tag.
The support impacts the normal flow of events for clickpad devices. To
- be sure of minimal breakage, a call-for-testing has been sent. I will
- update this bug with more information when the CFT closes.
