[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1094389] [NEW] Default synaptics settings not the best for Apple trackpads
Public bug reported: I am running Ubuntu on a Macbook Pro. The trackpad was working out-of- the box, but it didn't run quite as smooth as it could. My palm wouldn't be recognised while typing and when I would use two-finger scrolling my two fingers would get recognised as three fingers here and there (when they get to a poistion more parallel to the trackpad, with the largest finger area touching it) which would cause quite a few accidental clicks, windows misbehaves (as the 3-finger click and drag somehow switches windows by default in ginn) etc. As a result, I had to find out about synclient and the settings it offers. This blog post helped me a lot http://uselessuseofcat.com/?p=74 What proved to work for me is - palm detection on - MaxFinger 50 I set this by creating an /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/60-synaptics.conf with the following contents: Section "InputClass" Identifier "touchpad" Driver "synaptics" MatchIsTouchpad "on" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" Option "PalmDetect" "on" Option "FingerHigh" "50" EndSection I think these (or close to these) settings should be set as the default in Ubuntu for Macbook trackpads. If not, they should at least be accessible in the mouse & touchpad menu in the control center to save others from the same pains. Also, the sensitivity option in the control center is not doing anything - only the acceleration slider has any effect. It would be great if Apple trackpads would be tweaked to work more nicely in Ubuntu, as I think this is (with also maybe multi-monitor handling and battery life) the only remaining big reason not to switch from OS X to Ubuntu on Apple hardware. This is a problem many users are facing, which can be seen from the 20 "thank you" comments on the aforementioned blog post (I can only imagine how many other people went back to their OS X without bothering to search tech blogs to tweak their drivers). There are some nice projects out there, such as Touchegg and Ginn, but even after playing with compiling the source, Touchegg it is still very difficult to get running in Ubuntu. What I'm trying to say is, there are recipes and separate projects out there and it would be great if someone with a wider grasp of the technologies involved collected the best parts and integrated them in future Ubuntu packages. Especially now, that Ubuntu is spreading towards other touch-aware devices such as tablets :) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 Package: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics 1.6.2-1ubuntu5 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.5.0-21.32-generic 3.5.7.1 Uname: Linux 3.5.0-21-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.6.1-0ubuntu9 Architecture: amd64 Date: Sat Dec 29 01:11:55 2012 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: quantal DistroVariant: ubuntu InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-10-19 (70 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" - Release amd64 (20121017.5) MachineType: Apple Inc.

Started happening to me recently, but only sometimes when I close the lid and suspend that way. Reminds me of the bug that still occurs on my old HP laptop that's caused by the GNOME screensaver. Here is the report I managed to collect with apport when I entered this black-screen void state by switching to another tty and running ubuntu- bug. ** Attachment added: "Apport report" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/966744/+attachment/3254741/+files/apport.xorg.DJzp_q.apport -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to mesa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/966744 Title: Resume from suspend leaves me with black screen or a screen of the desktop before it suspended (though the mouse still moves/changes cursor) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/966744/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

** Description changed: Additional hardware drivers... options show that the Nvidia current driver is activated - no mention of it not being used (which was the case in Natty).

When launching nvidia-settings, this message is shown: "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server."
