Note that it says "Disabling hardware tapping". mousedev module still does software tap emulation which can be turned off with mousedev.tap_time = 0 > > > Looks like detection is correct, however either ALPS specific code doesn't > > work > > right, or it sets wrong parameters, I cannot tell.

I am not quite sure about the keyboard iteractions but all-in-all I don't think ALPS support is really ready for prime-time yet, there some issues with tap and double-tap detection. I think Peter has some patches improving it though, but for now I recommend psmouse.proto=imps. > > The more serious one is that sometimes it seems to spontaneously emit click > events while I'm moving finger across pad.

I would recomment trying out Synaptics X driver (which also does ALPS) so you will be able adjust sensitivity the way you like it. -- Dmitry - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
