Touchpad Does not Respond to Tap

nujinini · posted: 2010-06-10 05:55

Hello everyone!

May I please ask where to configure my touchpad.

Left and right click works fine but I noticed that touchpad does not respond to tap. It ables movement of curser pretty fast though. My problem is just in the tap in order ro"enter"

Thank you!

This first command freezes my cursor.

#modprobe -r psmouse

This second command gives me no return so I assume it worked but when I tried to tap on touchpad, still no response.

#modprobe psmouse proto=imps

Thanks just the same __{{emoticon}}__

Check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Compare to mine.

The appletouch is on macs and the alps I think is older hardware. For me it's Touchpad. Try adding the lines from mine that are missing in yours. Make a back up of the file before you edit.

May I confirm if this is what you want me to do?

1) Remove appletouch and alps and just leave touchpad.
2) Then add to Touchpad the missing lines from yours?

Thanks __{{emoticon}}__

I was able to get tapping to work by doing the following (on my Asus Eee 1005):

edit xorg.conf to this:

Section"InputDevice"
Identifier"Touchpad"
Driver"synaptics"
Option"TapButton1""1"
Option"TapButton2""2"
Option"HorizEdgeScroll""1"
Option"VertEdgeScroll""1"
Option"VertTwoFingerScroll""0"
Option"HorizTwoFingerScroll""0"
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"HorizScrollDelta""0"
Option"MinSpeed""0.09"
Option"MaxSpeed""0.18"
Option"AccelFactor""0.0015"
Option"SHMConfig""on"
EndSection

Restart xorg

Then in the terminal, type the following:

$ synclient TapButton1=1

To enable vertical scrolling and horizontal scrolling edges along with tapping, I created a script to run automatically at startup:

#!/bin/sh
synclient TapButton1=1
synclient VertEdgeScroll=1
synclient HorizEdgeScroll=1

V/R,
Nats

Once you edit the file make sure to restart X or reboot. A logout/login should do it.

Posted this on another string but it also applies here.

had the same problem with the touchpad as seen above, looked into it further today and found that using the command ( synclient tapbutton1=1 ) in the terminal as user, had enabled the touch-click feature.

To make this work upon boot I had opened ( /etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi ). then found the line ( deviceinfo version="0.2" ) and added the line ( <merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton1" type="string">1</merge> ) just below enabling it on boot. This may also work for you, if not there are more options that I had found here (

Hello!

Back after quite a while. I still maintain antix 8.5 in one of my partitions. My system got fried several weeks ago and I have to reinstall everything.

Anyways, I decided to post this as a reply to my original post since the infos might be able to offer some help.

I am still not able to make my system respond using the touch pad. Left and right click are fine though.

May I please ask for some suggestions regarding my issue on touchpad?

Thanks you!
