[Bug 337935] Re: [Jaunty] MacBook 5.1 touchpad not fully supported (Alpha 5 of Jaunty)
Here is a patch for bcm5974-dkms to make click-and-drag work with Macbook 5,1. When clicking with two fingers touching the trackpad, it simply ignores the finger that is doing the clicking (the one that is relatively lower on the touchpad), just like OS X does. It does *not* disable the bottom part (to make it act only as a button). It also does not change the behavior of other trackpad models, or the cases when the user is not clicking or is clicking with any number of fingers other than two. The only caveat is that now you can't right-click by two-finger-clicking and instead you need to do it by two-finger-tapping by enabling the TapButton for right-click, as in the attached policy file. This is actually a behavior that makes sense and what happens in OS X anyway, since when you are clicking and have two fingers on the touchpad, you are expected to be doing a click-and-drag, not a right-click. In fact, OS X does not even have a right-click by two-finger-clicking feature as it would interfere with click-and-drag. Thus, this shouldn't be a problem. Attached is the patch, a package for testing, and a policy file that has fast taps and tap buttons enabled. ** Attachment added: Make click-and-drag work for Macbook5,1 http://launchpadlibrarian.net/24852518/0001-Make-click-and-drag-work-for-Macbook5-1.patch -- [Jaunty] MacBook 5.1 touchpad not fully supported (Alpha 5 of Jaunty) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/337935 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 337935] Re: [Jaunty] MacBook 5.1 touchpad not fully supported (Alpha 5 of Jaunty)
I don't seem to have a big sensitivity problem. I am currenlty using the .fdi file I have on the wiki (not sure if its the same I uploaded here at this point). My big issue with the touchpad is the dragging as you mentioned as well. In Mac OSX I primarily will drag with holding my thumb clicked down on the bottom and moving my finger above that for the drag. I can continuously lift up my finger and put it down to keep the drag going. I can't get anywhere close to this functionality and I've tried a lot. I also then tried to get coasting working, figuring if I can't drag that way at least if I hit the bottom of my touchpad while dragging and still want to drag more it would continue to drag. Again, I tried setting these settings in the .fdi and they seemed to do nothing at all. So i'm beginning to think that only some of the functionality you can use detailed withing 'man synaptics' is actually picked up or used by this current bcm5974. Any ideas welcome. -- [Jaunty] MacBook 5.1 touchpad not fully supported (Alpha 5 of Jaunty) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/337935 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 337935] Re: [Jaunty] MacBook 5.1 touchpad not fully supported (Alpha 5 of Jaunty)
I got the trackpad on my MacBook Pro 5,1 *mostly* working by doing: (On a fresh install of Jaunty Beta) 1. Install all the mactel PPA packages. 2. Blacklist usbhid 3. Put bcm5974, usbhid in modprobe's modules file to force bcm5974 to load first. 4. Put the file posted above by P. Dunbar on 2009-03-31 in /etc/hal/fdi/policy I could then tweak the .fdi file in a minor way and had the following features: - tap-to-click - one/two/three-finger tap clicks for left/right/middle button - two-finger scrolling (both vertical and horizontal) There are still some big problems that make the trackpad completely unusable for me unfortunately. The main problems are: 1. Sensitivity is *WAY* too low. 2. Can't click and hold with thumb while dragging with another finger. First, the sensitivity problem. I tweaked the .fdi file's MinSpeed, MaxSpeed, and AccelFactor to achieve much higher speed of movement that is fairly satisfactory -- however, this only has an effect at the GDM login screen! When I actually log in and Gnome starts, the trackpad movement slows down tremendously. Even if I crank up the sensitivity/acceleration in the Preferences|Mouse dialog, it is still too slow. Also, I don't want much acceleration I mostly want a constant, moderate sensitivity. This is useful because the MacBook Pro's trackpad is so enormous (which is one of the features that made me choose this laptop). I cannot use the 'synclient' program, it always says that it can't access the shared memory segment and I should enable SHM support in the synaptics configuration, but it is already enabled in the .fdi file. (Also, there is nothing related to this in the xorg.conf file that could be messing it up.) I tried the 'gpointing-device-settings' program (http://live.gnome.org/GPointingDeviceSettings) and this provided some easy access to extremely important xinput settings such as palm detection. It did not allow configuring the sensitivity or speed of the trackpad movement. I would be very happy if the trackpad movement speed at the GDM login screen could simply be preserved when I logged in. Does anyone have an idea how I could do this? Second, the normal way of dragging things that I use in Mac OS X does not work. I find that double-tap-and-drag is sometimes useful but can be finicky if you don't wait long enough before putting your finger back down after you are done dragging (it will think you still want to drag). I have this problem in Mac OS X too. So I find the most effective way to drag is to use my forefinger to move the pointer and click-and-hold with my thumb on the near edge of the trackpad while I drag with the forefinger. This does not work in Ubuntu; apparently the driver is confused by my thumb's presence on the trackpad surface. I think that Mac OS X must treat the near (bottom) edge of the trackpad specially when a second finger is detected there, in order to support the particular case where the thumb is used to click in the region on the bottom edge while a finger is moving the pointer elsewhere on the trackpad. I'd be willing to implement this functionality myself if someone could give me a nudge in the right direction; I don't yet understand the relationship between bcm5974 and synaptics. Is the trackpad actually a synaptics device, or is it a bcm5974 device but events are being translated and sent to the synaptics X input module as an implementation shortcut instead of making a native bcm5974 X input module? Thanks for any help; I really want to get Ubuntu working well on my new MacBook Pro and a well-functioning trackpad is a critical component to make the system usable. -- [Jaunty] MacBook 5.1 touchpad not fully supported (Alpha 5 of Jaunty) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/337935 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It seems to me like blacklisting usbhid is a poor workaround... wouldn't that prevent you from using external mice, etc. in the usual way (ie, plug it in and it works)? Would it be possible for mactel support to continue to provide a patched usbhid kernel module (as I assume the case had been prior to the patch that removed the usbhid dependency?).

I think someone in the forum mentioned that hal was not loading before xorg or something which cause xorg to not see the hardware properly. I can't seem to find the post now.

To confirm, it should suffice to see that the line below returns no output: grep bcm5974 /proc/bus/input/devices The problem is that I cannot off-hand think of a way to set the ignore-mouse quirks in the jaunty kernel; things were moved around quite a bit, and it seems to me some of the quirks possibilities were removed. Compiling a custom kernel is of course always an option.

Quite possibly. Some differences: * `grep bcm5974 /proc/bus/input/devices` returns nothing (I'm attaching the file). This could be rather important--this device should show up here, no? I do have that module loaded, as confirmed by the lsmod attached above. * xserver-xorg-input-synaptics is installed by default in Jaunty Alpha 5. ** Attachment added: output from /proc/bus/input/devices http://launchpadlibrarian.net/23522840/devices.txt -- [Jaunty] MacBook 5.1 touchpad not fully supported (Alpha 5 of Jaunty) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/337935 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 337935] Re: [Jaunty] MacBook 5.1 touchpad not fully supported (Alpha 5 of Jaunty)
This a different bug. In my bug, the touchpad would not work at all because synaptics did not install by default. This bug still seems to affect me even after fixing the other bug. The issue here is that the fdi policy file seems to be completely ignored. I haven't looked too deeply into my configuration yet though. There seems to be some pre- set config and that is the only config that works. -- [Jaunty] MacBook 5.1 touchpad not fully supported (Alpha 5 of Jaunty) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/337935 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

** Description changed: Binary package hint: xorg The touchpad for MacBook 5.1 is not supported completely in Jaunty (Ubuntu 9.04) as of Alpha 5 release.
