[SOLVED] Slackpkg kernel upgrade has borked Tap-to-Click on Touchpad [SOLVED]
Hello Everyone,
Had a kernel upgrade to 2.6.29.6 today and after restarting I no longer have tap-to-click on my laptop touchpad. I know this is the Synaptics driver and it has always worked right away with every version of Slack I have used. I understand that xorg.conf is no longer being read by the system (unless I am mistaken), so I am not sure how to restore this. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance, Bob |
SOLVED
I guess I was incorrect. Editing the xorg.conf does still work for this kind of problem and I was able to solve the problem. Sorry for posting so quick... But I am curious, does synclient get all of its parameters from xorg, or is it possible to edit these parameters outside of xorg? I saw the problem right away from synclient -l, but couldn't edit it. Thanks Bob |
Have a look at the /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/11-x11-synaptics.fdi file ;)
What I added (then rebooted to make sure it is taken into account): Code:
<merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton1" type="string">1</merge> |
Bob,

That way you will have a backup of the original, in case anything goes wrong. |
I got this also i don't know how it happend but after the upgrade i had the file /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse~.conf that had the "options psmouse proto=imps" line uncommented.
So i needed to remove that file. |

Code:
mingdao@paul:~$ less /backup2/ftp/pub/Linux/Slackware/slackware-current/ChangeLog.txt entire file. What are you going to do when module-init-tools is updated? |
I did read the ChangeLog.txt and thats not the same thing as i described.
I had the /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf thats correct but there was also an /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse~.conf that shouldn't be there that had the line uncommented. The /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf in current has "options psmouse proto=imps" commented out so there shouldn't be any need to comment out that line. So i posted that i got an rubbish file when i updated current last time and someone else might have the same problem. |
You might have a "rubbish file" because you did something incorrectly in the upgrade.
Here are three boxen with the latest Slackware64 -current and Slackware -current updates that you describe. None has a /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse~.conf file. Code:
mahui@china:~$ ls -l /etc/modprobe.d/ Code:
mingdao@silas64:~$ ls -l /etc/modprobe.d/ Code:
mingdao@jeremiah:~$ ls -l /etc/modprobe.d/ |
My box didn't have that "rubbish file" before i ran 'slackpkg update gpg' 'slackpkg update' and 'slackpkg upgrade-all'.
And this box isn't upgraded from 12.2 it's an relative fresh install of current.(2009-06-24) |
