Hi, I have recently installed a Debian/amd64 Linux on an Acer Aspire 5020. Everything went more or less smootly, only the touchpad is not working properly. It is recognised as:
Synaptics Touchpad, model: 1, fw: 6.2, id: 0x12a0b1, caps=0xa04713/0x204000 after loading the psmouse module, and works under X (xorg) except for buttons 1 and 3. Pressing them usually does not generate a ButtonPress event (checked with xev). Instead it is generated when the button is released, and the ButtonRelease is when the button is released for the second time or moved. This ONLY happens with buttons 1 and 3, while the rest of the buttons (the 4 scroll buttons) work fine, as does tapping with 1, 2 or 3 fingers and scrolling, and the pressing buttons 1 and 3 SIMULTANEOUSLY to emulate button 2. This happens only when the mouse is configured as a synaptics touchpad. If I configure it as a regular mouse, the buttons work fine, but tapping and scrolling stop working. I wonder if this is a known problem with synaptics touchpads, or with this model of touchpad. I formerly owned another laptop with a synaptics touchpad and it worked fine. Any help will be welcome. Even the possibility of switching buttons 1 <-> 6 and 3 <-> 7 should do the thing, as these do work well.
