Re: touchpad on travelmate



Lars,

first is gpm also set to imps/2 (gpmconfig)
second try shutting down gpm

I have had the same on: Compaq armada 1592DT
And now also on the Dell C510

Although both machines didn't have scroll buttons onboard, but i wanted scroll to work due to a external ps2 scroll mouse.

grtz Asim

Hello!

The touchpad of the acer TravelMate 220 works fine with gpm and X using
the ps2 protocol. But the "scroll" buttons that correspond to the wheel of
a mouse don't work under X. If I try to use the ImPS/2 protocol, the mouse
behaves strange and jumps around.

Maybe it is helpful if I cite the correspondeing section of
/etc/XF86Config-4:

Section "InputDevice"
       Identifier      "Configured Mouse"
       Driver          "mouse"
       Option          "CorePointer"
       Option          "Device"                "/dev/gpmdata"
       Option          "Protocol"              "PS/2"
       Option          "Emulate3Buttons"       "true"
       Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
EndSection
