[Bug 315882] Re: [Jaunty] synaptics driver needs to be updated to work with devices known as "ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad" and "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" starting with 2.6.28 series kernels

[ergatif]

To be more acurate, on my U100 the mouse was unusable after a few
seconds, cursor moved but click has no effect. Removing the psmouse
module at startup solved this issue.

So I put only the following command (and not the other one which reloads the 
unwished module) in /etc/rc.local :
/sbin/modprobe -r psmouse

The built-in trackpad and buttons doesn't work anymore but the external
USB mouse is working fine.

This is the only fix that worked for me (and it worked in both
distribution 9.04 and 9.10)

This should probably be reported as a different bug, but I feel a little
lazy after a couple of hours working on it.

[ergatif]

This worked for me to correct mouse failure after first click with a
U100 Wind and both 9.04 and 9.10...

I had to put the commands : 
/sbin/modprobe -r psmouse
/sbin/modprobe psmouse

in /etc/init.d/rc.local in order that they will be executed as root

Thanks for this fix.

I had to reinstall the synaptics driver first with

sudo aptitude reinstall xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

after which Ricardo Faria's fix worked for me.

[David Roberts]

Ricardo's fix got the touchpad working for me (Lenovo ThinkPad R500), but 
edge-scrolling was disabled. So instead I just reloaded the psmouse module 
(i.e. without the proto argument), after which the touchpad worked perfectly:
sudo modprobe -r psmouse
sudo modprobe psmouse

To make this fix permanent I added the following to /etc/rc.local:
/sbin/modprobe -r psmouse
/sbin/modprobe psmouse

[imachine]

I too have a Compal EL80 and Ricardo's fix worked so well for me.

Thanks Ricardo, this should be incorporated in mainstream if a machine
says it's a COMPAL EL80 (and it does and is quite linux friendly so it
deserves to be there in acpi-fixes list or however it is called in
Ubuntu;-))

Cheers

Another Compal HEL80/81 Jaunty user here.

Ricardo Faria's fix works instantly, I have back my scrolling and multi-finger 
tapping :)
I didn't have to install or remove anything.

Thank You!!

[Noel J. Bergman]

I am NOT seeing this as fixed.   I have edge scrolling, the mouse moves
and the buttons work, but that's it -- I no longer have two finger
scrolling nor tap-to-click.

I setup /etc/hal/fdi/policy/synaptics.fdi with:




  

synaptics

  


and rebooted (just in case).

>From dmesg:

The "modprobe fix" does not work.  With proto=imps, clicking works and
scrolling stops.  Without it, edge scrolling works, but clicking does
not.

I am running Jaunty RC and tapping is not working (despite being enable

I also have Compal HEL 80i with Elantech Touchpad and it still doesn't

[ricardofaria]

i solved my non working touchpad by doing in terminal:

modprobe -r psmouse
modprobe psmouse proto=imps

at this time the touchpad should be working

and add:  options psmouse proto=imps 
to:  gedit /etc/modprobe.d/options

best of luck.

I also have a Compal HEL80 and tried both ways,  and  and neither worked. 
I've also tried to enable SHMConfig in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/shmconfig.fdi, also 
with no luck. I even tried xinput set-int-prop "ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad" 
"Device Enable " 8 0, but when i do  xinput list-props "ETPS/2 Elantech 
Touchpad", it appears 
Device 'ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad':
Device Enabled (89):1
Evdev Axis Inversion (227): 0, 0

and it seems Device Enabled (89):   1  should be  Device Enabled (89): 
0 .
I can't figure this out. hope someone can.

[Bug 315882] Re: [Jaunty] synaptics driver needs to be updated to work with devices known as "ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad" and "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" starting with 2.6.28 series kernels

[Pitabred]

Seconded. I just did an upgrade, and my mouse went from non-working to
working. It looks like the bug is fixed with the current package set,
even if no one knows what happened :) It may have been the kernel or
something.

Oddly, second reboot after upgrade, it started working this morning.
The only thing I did between first reboot and second is try to install
that package, which didn't happen, so not sure what that was about.

Touchpad on IBM thinkpad t30 does not work at all with all updates on
Jaunty.  When I tried to install above mentioned package, it says there
is a later version already installed.  Will use external mouse and hope
this is fixed soon.  It also did not work when I was booting from flash
drive on my eee 701.

I'm having the same problem posted by Pitabred; I see the exact same
output.  I'm on a System76 first gen Serval with the Elantech Touchpad.
I have tried some of the proposed configurations above and nothing has
made my touch pad work.  I did an upgrade from Intrepid to Jaunty.  The
touchpad worked fine in Intrepid.

[Pitabred]

Mine isn't fixed. I still can't get anything under Linux with this
touchpad. It used to work, the upgrade to Jaunty broke it somewhere in
the line:

>From my dmesg:
[ 13.633647] input: ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad as 
/devices/platform/i8042/serio4/input/input8

And I see this in my Xorg.0.log:
[ 7.982748] (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Macintosh mouse button 
emulation" (type: MOUSE)
[ 7.984782] (II) config/hal: Adding input device ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad

[ 7.991035] (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "ETPS/2 Elantech 
Touchpad" (type: TOUCHPAD)

But when I run xev and touch the touchpad I get no events reported at
all. When I cat /dev/input/event8 there's nothing coming through. I am
positive that the touchpad works because it used to work under Linux and
it still works under Windows installed on the same machine.

Can you have a look at my bug #335297 - my logitech is recognised as
elantech touchpad and does not really work - I don't know if the two
problems are related.

[Daniele Napolitano]

I have the same problem with a Acer Aspire 5102WLMi, Ubuntu 9.04 Alpha 4
(with latest updates).

There is two solutions:
 * Use of evdev general input driver (by edit HAL fdi file), but without any 
Synaptics configurations like sensivity or touch-click.
 * Install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics and edit HAL fdi file for use that 
driver.

This bug block any (not expert) user interation... please fix in Alpha
5!

I can confirm this bug with current Jaunty. xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
is installed.

At least I guess I have this bug since scrolling doesn't work anymore
since Jaunty.

[Javier Jardón]

The xserver-xorg-input-synaptics was not installed by default on Jaunty.
 "sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics" solved it for me.

See bug #323800

Same as Pitabred, I have a Compal Hel80 (the Hel81 also) and neither
touchpads work with the latest version of jaunty.

I've attached my dmesg.

[Pitabred]

I also have a Compal (HGL30), and my touchpad simply does not work under
the lastest Jaunty packages, 64bit version (so the above .deb won't help
me).

I used to get the jittery motion, but now, nothing whatsoever. The
buttons work, but the touchpad will not move the cursor. Gotta use a USB
mouse all the time.

I also boot into Windows on this machine, so I'm certain the hardware is
in fact working. And it used to work under older releases.
