Ubuntu: Finding correct device file for touchpad
Hello.
How do I go about finding the correct device file for my touchpad? I've tried issuing "sudo cat /dev/input/mouse0" (and similar for the other device files under the /dev/input folder) hoping to see some response when using my touchpad, but without success. The way I interpret this is that none of these device files are related to my touchpad. Regards, kenneho |
Try "cat /proc/bus/input/devices" and locate the section for your device. Then look at the handlers line. Usually there will be an "event(n)" entry, which will correspond to your /dev/input/event(n) device.

Thanks for your reply.
My /proc/bus/input/devices shows this: Code:
I: Bus=0017 Vendor=0001 Product=0001 Version=0100 Code:
Section "InputDevice" |
I don't think that's a touchpad. One of my desktops has that entry also, and it certainly doesn't have any kind of touchpad connected to it. I have no idea what "Macintosh mouse button emulation" is (in fact, I've been meaning to ask about it), but I'm pretty sure it's not the device you want.

Ah I see. Hmmm... Then it doens't seem like the kernel recognize my touchpad. But that's a different topic, so I'll start another thread.
Thanks for the help. EDIT: I'll continue this thread instead.. |
Consider the output from running "cat /proc/bus/input/devices":
Code:
I: Bus=0017 Vendor=0001 Product=0001 Version=0100 (PS. This post was orginially in another thread, but I moved it here) |
