But on f7, switching to use a left-handed mouse changes the touchpad touch functionality to be the reverse of what you'd expect. This is annoying and frustrating to left-handed users. >From dmesg: input: PS/2 Mouse as /class/input/input1 input: AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint as /class/input/input2 input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as /class/input/input3 Versions: Kernel 2.6.22.9-91.fc7 nautilus-2.18.3-1.fc7 Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings- daemon/+bug/27724/comments/7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2007-10-10T23:08:41+00:00 Matěj wrote: Being a left-handed myself, I would ask just one question -- why do you use left-handed mouse settings with touchpad?

Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 7. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '7'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 7's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 7 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If possible, it is recommended that you try the newest available Fedora distribution to see if your bug still exists. Please read the Release Notes for the newest Fedora distribution to make sure it will meet your needs: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings- daemon/+bug/27724/comments/10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2008-07-15T05:35:49+00:00 Peter wrote: This isn't really a mouse driver bug, it's a conceptual issue with the X server's event processing. Problem being that the SetPointerMapping request by default changes the core pointer device. Up to X11R7.4, any core event, no matter who actually generates it, comes from the core pointer and thus assumes the core pointer's mapping (which in your case is left-handed). This problem is fixed in Xorg git, but needs a vastly different input system. It also requires configuration tools to set the button mapping per device, and not just for the core pointer.

X.Org Bug 11683 [1] changed the mapping behaviour to take the device's button mapping instead of the core pointer's. However, the core protocol request SetPointerMapping applies to all devices, so a SetDeviceButtonMapping request is required. A button mapping per device is thus possible but requires an appropriate configuration tool. Changing component to control-center, this should be part of gnome- mouse-properties.

(It got even weirder if you had /dev/mice as one device and /dev/input/mouse2 then you'd end up with the left and right mouse button getting pressed simultaneously no matter which button you pressed) I fixed that in gnome-settings-daemon by using SetDeviceButtonMapping on every mouse device to be left handed. I assume the code is still like that, but I haven't looked at it in a while. We don't need a configuration tool, we need to detect that the touch pad and not remap it (assuming that's possible) Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings- daemon/+bug/27724/comments/13 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2008-07-28T22:24:59+00:00 Matěj wrote: (In reply to comment #6) > We don't need a configuration tool, we need to detect that the touch pad and > not remap it (assuming that's possible) Peter, what do you think?

In theory, a touchpad should have the Atom XI_TOUCHPAD set as its type, although at least synaptics doesn't do it. so you need some other (human) method to figure out which device is a touchpad.
