Re: [Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 240738] Re: syndaemon sometimes fails to disable the touchpad

2011-05-13 Thread Goofy

In the meantime i also spent some time on analysing, and found out,
that
Option SHMConfig On (not true)
solved the issue of not beeing able to adjust fingerHigh/fingerLow with
synclient for me.
The sensitivity settings one can make in the kde-gui-touchpad are still not
useful and when the notebook heats up, one might have to change sensitivity
again. The SHMConfig flag and some related settings have been deactivated by the
update process, according to the comments inserted in xorg.conf due to HAL
things.

...so it's now just snd-hda-intel (mic) that forces me to use Windows.

Well, it might be sort of related. I'm pretty sure it worked when I booted
from the live CD (as did the screen backlight keys, but I'm not sure it was
using nvidia at the time), so something is different from that state and it
may well be that the difference is the SHMConfig flag. If so, it makes fair
sense that without SHMConfig the syndaemon will be unable to adjust the
touchpad.

Title:
syndaemon sometimes fails to disable the touchpad

Status in âxserver-xorg-input-synapticsâ package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed

Bug description:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

syndaemon does not always disable the touchpad when a key is pressed.

Steps to reproduce:

* Turn on SHMConfig in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and restart X.
* $ killall syndaemon
* $ syndaemon -i 3 -k -t
* Run another application such as gedit and press a single key (not a
modifier key) while watching the syndaemon window. It should print
'Disable', wait 3 seconds, and then 'Enable'. Most of the time this works as
expected, but a small percentage of the time nothing new is displayed in the
syndaemon window (the gedit window displays the key as expected). The timing
seems important; if the key is pressed between 1 and 3 seconds after
syndaemon displays 'Enable' then the key is more likely to be missed by
syndaemon.

This problem sounds minor but has been a major source of aggravation
while typing on my laptop because a few times a day I find myself
typing in another part of the document or in a different application
altogether. Depending on the application which is incorrectly
receiving the key presses, the consequences could be serious.

This is on Ubuntu 8.04 and xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
0.14.7~git20070706-mactel1, but I believe this problem has existed for
many months. The hardware is an Apple MacBook 2nd generation.

2011-04-27 Thread Goofy

Thx, i have an Acer NB and i'am not sure if/why my bugs has been marked
as a duplicate of this one, since the problem is even worse than this -
it does not only fail to disable, it also is not able to set the
sensitivity of the touchpad at all, can't find the reference to my bug
anymore, but it has been rated as a synaptic-driver problem, which seems
also not be fixed until now.
