Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
On the Macbook Air 11", the clickpad has a resolution of 1280x800. Using the xinput command I can disable to bottom quarter for dedicated use as a button: xinput set-prop bcm5974 "Synaptics Area" 0 0 0 600 This works and touches in the bottom quarter are ignored. However with the above setting, two-finger scrolling and two-finger right-clicking stops working completely. Even when both fingers are in the active area (top 3 quarters). This bug only seems to occur when I mask out the bottom of the "Synaptics Area". Masking out the left, top or right does not trigger the bug and multi-touch continues to work. Going back to default settings makes two-finger scrolling and clicking work again: xinput set-prop bcm5974 "Synaptics Area" 0 0 0 0 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 Package: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics 1.3.99+git20110116.0e27ce3a-0ubuntu12.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-8.42-generic 2.6.38.2 Uname: Linux 2.6.38-8-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia wl .proc.driver.nvidia.gpus.0: Error: [Errno 21] Is a directory: '/proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/0' .proc.driver.nvidia.registry: Binary: "" .proc.driver.nvidia.version: NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 270.41.06 Mon Apr 18 14:53:56 PDT 2011 GCC version: gcc version 4.5.2 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.5.2-8ubuntu4) Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: [core,bailer,detection,composite,opengl,decor,mousepoll,vpswitch,regex,animation,snap,expo,move,compiztoolbox,place,grid,imgpng,gnomecompat,wall,ezoom,workarounds,staticswitcher,resize,fade,unitymtgrabhandles,scale,session,unityshell] CompositorRunning: compiz Date: Thu Jun 16 15:15:43 2011 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: natty DistroVariant: ubuntu DkmsStatus: bcmwl, 5.100.82.38+bdcom, 2.6.38-8-generic, x86_64: installed nvidia-current, 270.41.06, 2.6.38-8-generic, x86_64: installed GraphicsCard: nVidia Corporation Device [10de:08a2] (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Apple Computer Inc.
