[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 432814] Re: Touchpad: Action for middle and right click is reversed since jaunty
There must have been a misunderstanding here. I’m not going to support my patches on GNOME 3. In fact, they are not needed there, as there is the hook framework. When time allows, I will update my PPA for Natty, but only because Natty was released with GNOME 2. (And I understand them — GNOME 3 is horrible at the moment.) -- 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/432814 Title: Touchpad: Action for middle and right click is reversed since jaunty ___ 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
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 432814] Re: Touchpad: Action for middle and right click is reversed since jaunty
In GNOME, they decided that it is more appropriate to provide a hook that will run a user-customizable script when an input device is added or removed. The xinput or synclient invocations shown above can be added to this hook. So, for all intents and purposes, this bug can be considered “Fix Committed”. -- 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/432814 Title: Touchpad: Action for middle and right click is reversed since jaunty ___ 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

I’m afraid not, as whenever I happen to have enough free time to work on this patch, both GNOME and Ubuntu turn out to be in feature freeze, and extended configurability counts as a feature. However, I will produce PPA builds for Maverick as soon as I get around to installing the alpha and will maintain them; also, as soon as GNOME unfreezes (which should be late September) I will attempt to get this accepted upstream. -- Touchpad: Action for middle and right click is reversed since jaunty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/432814 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in ubuntu. ___ 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

I have added another patch that adds gconf settings for corner taps. Available in my PPA for Lucid only. As for changing defaults, I don’t really have a strong opinion.

Alex Dicks wrote on 2010-03-16: Perhaps the defaults for those keys could be changed to give the Jaunty behaviour back? And then users who started using Ubuntu during the Karmic era will file a bug that Lucid changed the defaults and broke their habits, just as we are blaming Karmic here. Alvaro Kuolas wrote: This is only a Debian/Ubuntu patch that causes so much trouble? No, what causes the trouble is upstream development in GNOME. === In fact, I am not fully content with my patch, for two reasons. First and foremost, the Synaptics tap-to-button mapping is only updated whenever gconf settings change for button assignments, the master tap- to-click on/off switch, or the left/right-handed switch. The right thing to do would be to watch for every DeviceMappingNotify on every input device, so that if the user remaps buttons via e.g. xinput, taps continue working without the user having to go disable/re-enable them. I have not yet managed to get that working, and that is going to be a large change that is better off in the next development phase. Second, Ubuntu includes corner taps in the definition of tap-to-click, as opposed to GNOME who don’t. This means that in Ubuntu the corner-to- button mapping needs similar treatment — for device button mapping and for customization.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 432814] Re: Action for middle and right click is reversed since jaunty
OK, here’s a status update. The patch I sent upstream has passed peer review, but GNOME is currently in feature freeze in preparation for 2.30 release. I have filed for a freeze break, but only received one “not totally against” reply so far, so I’m not confident a break will be granted. So I’d like to ask if this patch can be accepted into Lucid as a debdiff. If so, how would I go about submitting it, apart from providing the patch itself? ** Patch added: Add tap-to-click gconf settings to gnome-settings-daemon http://launchpadlibrarian.net/39740497/0001-Add-tap-to-click-button-settings.v7.patch ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Invalid -- Action for middle and right click is reversed since jaunty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/432814 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in ubuntu. ___ 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

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 432814] Re: Action for middle and right click is reversed since jaunty
OK, I looked a little further, here’s my understanding. * The touchpad is first configured with xorg.conf, hal policies and the code in xserver-xorg-input-synaptics. * When GNOME starts, the gnome-settings-daemon kicks in. It has a mouse plugin that resets TapButton# settings every once in a while, and on each change of the tap_to_click gconf setting. It does that by changing the Synaptics Tap Action property, replacing the 5th, 6th and 7th values with (0,0,0) or (1,3,2) to disable or enable tap-to-click, respectively. * The Synaptics Tap Action property is documented in synaptics(4): “order: RT, RB, LT, LB, F1, F2, F3.” So, 1-finger tap is set to button 1 (left), 2-finger tap to button 3 (right), and 3-finger tap to button 2 (middle). * The xserver-xorg-input-synaptics patch 104_always_enable_tapping.patch is irrelevant because it would only affect the initial setup, which is overridden by gnome-settings-daemon mouse plugin. * The xserver-xorg-input-synaptics patch 105_correct_multifinger_click.patch is irrelevant because it is commented out, and because it dealt with gestures like “put 2 or 3 fingers on the touchpad and click the physical left button” rather than “tap with 2 or 3 buttons”. * The Jaunty version of gnome-settings-daemon does not include the tap-to-click code, which explains why the bug appeared in Karmic. I have created a patch for gnome-settings-daemon that adds three gconf settings and passes their values into Synaptics Tap Action property, and submitted it to the GNOME Bugzilla at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=598820#c10 . ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #598820 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=598820 -- Action for middle and right click is reversed since jaunty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/432814 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in ubuntu. ___ 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

I had the impression that TapButton# options could be configured in the appropriate InputDevice section of xorg.conf, but right now I seem to be unable to do so. The Xorg.0.log reports no errors but synclient -l lists TapButton2=3 and TapButton3=2. -- Action for middle and right click is reversed since jaunty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/432814 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in ubuntu. ___ 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
