Re: Dell 700m Touchpad problem - TAP isn't recognized
Hi Jerome
Thanks, it worked. I will explain in detail what I have done, hopefuly
somebody else will find it useful.
Instal the package
apt-get install xfree86-driver-synaptics
Input the following lines to the XF86Config-4 file under the Section "Module"
Load "synaptics"
Input the following entry by the Input Devices
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "synaptics"
Identifier "Mouse[1]"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "LeftEdge" "1700"
Option "RightEdge" "5300"
Option "TopEdge" "1700"
Option "BottomEdge" "4200"
Option "FingerLow" "25"
Option "FingerHigh" "30"
Option "MaxTapTime" "180"
Option "MaxTapMove" "220"
Option "VertScrollDelta" "100"
Option "MinSpeed" "0.06"
Option "MaxSpeed" "0.12"
Option "AccelFactor" "0.0010"
# Option "SHMConfig" "on"
# Option "Repeater" "/dev/ps2mouse"
EndSection
Now go to the bottom to the Section "ServerLayout"
Insert a line
InputDevice "Mouse[1]" "CorePointer"
and also comment out the "Configured Mouse" line
# InputDevice "Configured Mouse"
Restart X and voila
