[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1318010] [NEW] touchpad pointer vibration on click
Public bug reported: I'm on Ubuntu 14.04LTS, although this is probably a general synaptics driver issue. (I hope this is the right tracker to file the bug). This bug is regarding newer touch pads that have their buttons integrated in the sensitive area instead of having separate buttons away from the actual touchpad area. AKA clickpads. Expected: to be able to use the deep or hard clicks on the touchpad to drag and drop and right click. What happenned: Both when clicking and holding the click and when right clicking, there is shaking or vibration in the pointer; this makes difficult two tasks that are performed regularly: Task 1: I am trying to drag and drop. I press the touchpad with one finger and while holding, use another finger to move the object I want to drop. The pointer shakes or vibrates while the first finger is pressed, making it hard to deposit the item where it should. What is wrong? Answer: The information sent by the finger that is hard pressing the touch pad should be ignored and not be translated into movements of the pointer. Task 2: I want to right click on a link by hard pressing on the lower right corner of the touch pad. The pointer jumps and misses the actual link, right clicking somewhere else. What is wrong? The movement of the finger after the hard press and while it is being released is still used as input for movement; flagging the hard press and generating different behavior after it should solve the problem. These problems do not happen in windows, it is not a bad quality hardware issue, it is a driver tweaking issue. The general idea: fix the driver for this kind of new touch pad by filtering the information sent from the sensitive area when hard clicks are detected. ** Affects: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: clickpad ** Description changed: I'm on Ubuntu 14.04LTS, although this is probably a general synaptics driver issue.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1318024] [NEW] right click with double tap
Public bug reported: I am on Ubuntu 14.04; my Laptop is an Acer Aspire v5-573; Expected: when right clicking by double tapping I expect the double click to succeed even if each of the fingers touches the pad with a slight separation of time. What happens: it is extremely hard to right click, especially after completing a pointer movement. many times the right click is mistakenly confused with a regular one click tap. I have tried to practice and come to the conclusion that the right click requires too much precision in the tapping in the sense that both fingers need to tap almost exactly at the same time. also, doing it slowly does not help, the taps are not recognized as such. This simply requires some tweaking of the underlying config values. I would be happy to test, modify them myself if given some ideas on which values to tamper with. Hopefully they are in some xml file and do not require recompiling the drivers. Thanks. ** Affects: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1318024 Title: right click with double tap To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/1318024/+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
