AstroGeek's suggestion (have
ONLY a single line in /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse ):
Code:
options psmouse proto=any
worked for me on an Hp Pavilion zd7015.
In addition to entering 'stuff' for the TouchPad in the InputDevice Section, be sure to add an InputDevice line for the Synaptics TouchPad to the "ServerLayout" Section:
Code:
InputDevice "Synaptics TouchPad" "AlwaysCore"
Just after the entry for mouse0 ( InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" ) ( see below )
Also, very important for the synaptics driver is that you need to add the infamous "SHMConfig" "on" to the "InputDevice" section for the mouse. Otherwise synclient and syndaemon wont work ...
I am still struggling with tuning the TouchPad (it tends to jump around a lot when I'm typing (syndaemon helps))
but I am trying to tune the sensitivity via synclient (vary cool app).
Anyhow, here are the sections I modified in /etc/X11/xorg.conf for the Synaptics Touchpad on my Dad's zd7015:
Code:
#
# Add an InputDevice for the "Synaptics TouchPad" at the very top of xorg.conf
#
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "X.org Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Synaptics TouchPad" "AlwaysCore"
EndSection
Then leave mouse0 the way it was.
Code:
#
# leave this in case he plugs in a PS/2 mouse
#
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection
Finally here is my as-yet unfinished Synaptics Entry (still tuning it). Note that the Identifier matches the "InputDevice" above.
Code:
#
# kjh added a Synaptics TouchPad section
#
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics TouchPad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse1"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "Sensitivity" "0.8"
Option "HorizScrollDelta" "0"
Option "LeftEdge" "1700"
Option "RightEdge" "5300"
Option "TopEdge" "1700"
Option "BottomEdge" "4200"
Option "FingerLow" "30"
Option "FingerHigh" "80"
Option "MaxTapTime" "180"
Option "MaxTapMove" "220"
Option "VertScrollDelta" "100"
Option "MinSpeed" "0.09"
Option "MaxSpeed" "0.18"
Option "AccelFactor" "0.0015"
Option "SHMConfig" "on"
EndSection
