But on f7, switching to use a left-handed mouse changes the touchpad touch functionality to be the reverse of what you'd expect. This is annoying and frustrating to left-handed users. >From dmesg: input: PS/2 Mouse as /class/input/input1 input: AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint as /class/input/input2 input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as /class/input/input3 Versions: Kernel 2.6.22.9-91.fc7 nautilus-2.18.3-1.fc7 Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings- daemon/+bug/27724/comments/7 On 2007-10-10T23:08:41+00:00 Matěj wrote: Being a left-handed myself, I would ask just one question -- why do you use left-handed mouse settings with touchpad?

Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 7. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '7'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 7's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 7 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If possible, it is recommended that you try the newest available Fedora distribution to see if your bug still exists.

Problem being that the SetPointerMapping request by default changes the core pointer device. Up to X11R7.4, any core event, no matter who actually generates it, comes from the core pointer and thus assumes the core pointer's mapping (which in your case is left-handed). This problem is fixed in Xorg git, but needs a vastly different input system. It also requires configuration tools to set the button mapping per device, and not just for the core pointer.

@Robert Those values are hard coded in the original driver too. It looks like upstream decided to apply the following changes in g-s-d: 1) Don't swap mouse buttons for left-handers on the touchpad (otherwise a tap would be a right-click) 2) If XInput is supported, don't switch the core pointer to left-handed, as it would cancel our other settings http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gnome-settings- daemon/commit/?id=6a3bedfcb9be30b883a145d7e4ce83fd9cbc3e25 I'm marking the report as invalid for the synaptics driver. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (Ubuntu) Status: New = Invalid -- Touchpads should be unaffected by left handed mouse option https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/27724 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 27724] Re: Touchpads should be unaffected by left handed mouse option
This is because of patch 104_always_enable_tapping.patch in xserver- xorg-input-synaptics which hard codes the initial tapbutton values in the source, and the values need to be different when in left handed mode. -/* Enable tap if we don't have a phys left button */ -tapButton1 = priv-has_left ? 0 : 1; -tapButton2 = priv-has_left ? 0 : 3; -tapButton3 = priv-has_left ? 0 : 2; +/* Enable tap */ +tapButton1 = 1; +tapButton2 = 2; +tapButton3 = 3; From man synaptics -- Button mapping for physical buttons is handled in the server. If the device is switched to left-handed (an in-server mapping of physical buttons 1, 2, 3 to the logical buttons 3, 2, 1, respectively), both physical and TapButtons are affected. To counteract this, the TapButtons need to be set up in reverse order (TapButton1=3, TapButton2=1). They have added support of enabling/disabling TapButtons via input properties in the g-s-d mouse capplet upstream now, but perhaps an additional check for left handedness could be added to change how it assigns the buttons? http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gnome-settings- daemon/commit/?id=4eb9bd09219afbb56f114a2d10bc585e24db803e Sorry if I'm misunderstanding the situation. -- Touchpads should be unaffected by left handed mouse option https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/27724 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It's marked as fixed in the Fedora operating system only, there is no bugfix created for Ubuntu yet.

Would this also apply to the package that sets the right-handed or left- handed flag? I'm not sure what actually takes care of that; synaptics or a gnome package.
