Hello guys,

i have problem with my touchpad (Asus notebook F3Series) on Fedora 9.
Buttons (left - right) are too sensitive, and "moving area" does not perform click when i press with finger - movement works


Thanks in advance!

David

Known problem with touchpads in F9 -

You will probably need to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and put stuff in to
get the paramaters you need.

If you can't find what you need I could post my xorg.conf as a starter...
it may be different to your needs as it is a different machine.

This has nvidia lines in it which you may not need - but the main
points are that there is a new line in serverlayout to define the touchpad

and there is a whole new section for the touchpad inputdevice with its
defined parameters...

If you have never messed with this before then make sure you keep a
backup of your existing xorg.conf.... change the lines you need, then
go to a new VT and logon as root... and restart X by doing
# telinit 3
return to the VT where root is logged in and
# telinit 5
Then login again and see if it works as you want.... if not then change
the parameters in xorg.conf and try again - if completely messed up then
copy back your original xorg.conf and restart X -

There's a GUI that runs under KDE. Sorry I don't recall its name (other
than the name begins with 'k' :-). I didn't find it of much use. You
might try synclient.

gsynaptic for GNOME. I'd guess ksynaptic for KDE.

synclient is a command-line one.

To use any of these, you need to preconfigure xorg.conf with the
SHMConfig line in the InputDevice section.

Sorry, that's gsynaptics and ksynaptics (ending in 's').

Do you know what the status of ksynaptics is?

According to
http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=17286
it seems to be discontinued and a replacement app called TouchFreeze
replaces it - but I don't know if this is in the F9 repos?

Default touchpad (Asus F3Sr) on Fedora 9

Guys, it still does not work for me

I have added to xorg.conf :

Section "InputDevice"
******* Identifier***** "Synaptics Touchpad"
******* Driver********* "synaptics"

******* Option********* "SendCoreEvents"******* "true"
******* Option********* "Device"*************** "/dev/psaux"
******* Option********* "Protocol"************* "auto-dev"

******* Option********* "HorizScrollDelta"***** "0"
******* Option********* "SHMConfig"************ "true"
EndSection

Restarted X, even restarted notebook and my gsynaptics still says :


GSynaptics couldn't initialize.
You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics
Please help,

David

Check the X log (/var/log/Xorg.0.log), it may be that your touchpad is
not a Synaptics variant.
