synptics touchpad "TapButton1=1" does't work under slack 13.1
Hello,
After clear installation of Slackware 13.1 GSB 2.30, and editing /etc/hal/fdi/polices/x11-synaptics.fdi .xml file "TapButton1" still does not work
In Slackware 13.0 the "Tap to click" functionality was turned off by default. In Slackware 13.1 this functionality is turned on by default.
If it is not working for you, then it may be that you need to enable the "MaxTapMove". See http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...reboot-758184/
Your file looks OK, but do you have the correct filename? It should be '11-x11-synaptics.fdi' in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ rather than the 'x11-synaptics.fdi' in /etc/hal/fdi/polices/ that you show.
Your file looks OK, but do you have the correct filename? It should be '11-x11-synaptics.fdi' in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ rather than the 'x11-synaptics.fdi' in /etc/hal/fdi/polices/ that you show.
If the filename is correct, then the next place to check is the 'psmouse.conf' file in the /etc/modprobe.d directory. You may need to change the default psmouse protocol. Also check that that you do not have any extraneous files (e.g. editor backup files) in that directory, as they will also be read and may cause settings to stay the same rather than be changed as expected.
Also, check the output in /var/log/Xorg.0.log after starting X. There may be an error indication in there.

After changing default protocol to IMPS in psmouce.conf it did the trick, but..
the moving of my mouse is not the same like with synaptics driver (furthermore, I should know, why it does not work with synaptics driver )
switching to XFCE and KDE makes TapButton works like expected ( with synaptics driver ) so I think the problem is GNOME env..
I start X with startx command, and my .xinitrc is
Code:
userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
sysresources=/usr/lib/X11/xinit/.Xresources
sysmodmap=/usr/lib/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap
# default session settings
GNOME_SESSION_SETTINGS=""
# Gnome XDG Menu Path
#
# We keep the GNOME menu templates separate from KDE so the two
# don't interfere with each other. This path may be extended to
# include the KDE menu path /etc/kde/xdg if the user wishes.
export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/etc/xdg:/etc/gnome/xdg
# Merge in defaults and keymaps
if [ -f $sysresources ]; then
xrdb -merge $sysresources
fi
if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then
xmodmap $sysmodmap
fi
if [ -f $userresources ]; then
xrdb -merge $userresources
fi
if [ -f $usermodmap ]; then
xmodmap $usermodmap
fi
# Use ssh-agent if available
if [ -x /usr/bin/ssh-agent ]; then
GNOME_SESSION_SETTINGS="$GNOME_SESSION_SETTINGS /usr/bin/ssh-agent"
fi;
# Use seahorse-agent if available from seahorse-plugins
if [ -x /usr/bin/seahorse-agent ]; then
GNOME_SESSION_SETTINGS="$GNOME_SESSION_SETTINGS /usr/bin/seahorse-agent --execute"
fi;
# Use ConsoleKit if available
if [ -z "${XDG_SESSION_COOKIE}" -a -x /usr/bin/ck-launch-session ]; then
CK_SESSION="/usr/bin/ck-launch-session"
fi;
# Start the window manager
exec $GNOME_SESSION_SETTINGS $CK_SESSION gnome-session

Actually I could see from it that HAL is load that info
So, you have an AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint touchpad being assigned to /dev/input/event8 and
a mouse being detected at /dev/input/event7.
Have you tried in XFCE or KDE with the option line in /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf commented out?
This would test if the Gnome environment (in which I have no experience) is an issue.

This is the only option in psmouse.conf
#options psmouse proto=imps
It's commented out by default in XFCE and KDE too, XFCE and KDE somehow works good with synaptics driver
In GNOME, when I uncomment it My touchpad works with IMPS like expected, but the motion of my mouse through touchpad is not the same smooth like with synaptics
I think it's GNOME concerned issue, so for now I continue to use IMPS
In Slackware 13.0 the "Tap to click" functionality was turned off by default. In Slackware 13.1 this functionality is turned on by default.
*UGH* you mean this is *DELIBERATE*?!? I *HATE* tap functionality and I've never been able to turn it off until now, and was going to report this as a feature/bug request to the HAL guys, but you're staying Pat and the gang added this line to the HAL file? *bangs head*
