$ grep -c Synaptics /var/log/Xorg.0.log 15 $ lshal | grep -c input.touchpad 1
This is rather odd.. it seems to actually find my touchpad (which is good in some respects).. $ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep Synaptics (II) config/hal: Adding input device SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad (II) Synaptics touchpad driver version 1.1.0 (II) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: x-axis range 1472 - 5472 (II) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: y-axis range 1408 - 4448 (II) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: pressure range 0 - 255 (II) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: finger width range 0 - 0 (II) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: buttons: left right middle double triple (--) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: touchpad found (**) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: always reports core events (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" (type: TOUCHPAD) (**) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: (accel) keeping acceleration scheme 1 (**) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: (accel) filter chain progression: 2.00 (**) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: (accel) filter stage 0: 20.00 ms (**) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: (accel) set acceleration profile 0 (--) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: touchpad found $ lshal | grep input.touchpad info.capabilities = {'input', 'input.touchpad'} (string list) $ sudo tpconfig -i Found Synaptics Touchpad. Firmware: 8.96 (multiple-byte mode). Sensor type: unknown (0). Geometry: rectangular/landscape/up. Packets: absolute, 80 packets per second. Corner taps disabled; no tap gestures. Edge motion: none. Z threshold: 6 of 7. 2 button mode; corner tap is right button click. ... however, as I stated previously.. using those options found in the news file didn't allow touch clicking, and my scroll is broken too (there's a designated area on the right of the touchpad for it). It seems to me, that while it is detecting it, it's not applying the proper driver for it. Strange thing is, I've never had this issue in any previous distro of Kubuntu. -- [Karmic] Touchpad not recognised correctly, synaptics driver not in use https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/380126 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
