More recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes Lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.Īlthough we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's Would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce itĪgainst a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of thisīug to the applicable version. We may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. To a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life.īug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that Plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you This bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora It is Fedora's policy to close allīug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life.Īpproximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintainingĪnd issuing updates for Fedora 12. So I modprobe synaptics_i2c to load it and synclient -l still gave the same results. Synclient -l and it reported "couldn't find synaptics properties. I don't know if this is supposed to use the synaptics_i2c module though. This should have turned off the tap to click, but it had no effect. I wanted to see if I could actually talk to the touchpad, so I put this into an empty nf file: S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input5 The touchpad is recognized in /proc/bus/input/devices none of which seemed to offer a definitive fix. I found this report after googling and seeing these:

I use the Nvidia driver but will switch back to the open source one that doesn't do acceleration for testing, even if it means not using gnome-shell for a while. I'm going to try and find 2.6.34.1-28.fc13 to see if it works for me. All of which makes me suspect the driver isn't right for the hardware. The system preferences lack the pad related options.Īlso, from time to time, sometimes after suspend/resume, the trackpad becomes erratic and the pointer skittish, being over sensitive, missing tap-to-click, and tending to shoot across to the right of the screen, or move about a bit when the finger leaves the pad. It is in fact just a pad with a scroll area marked on the right, two buttons and no stick. The trackpad is mis-detected and treated as "ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse" according to /proc/bus/input/devices. I have a similar and possibly related problem with my HP 311c (model 311c-1101SA). From what I gathered, it also applied a different driver to the trackpad. Related, Ubuntu applied an entry for "0x73, 0x02, 0圆4" with different masks and flags, but had to revert. I see no difference in how the trackpad actually works.

Likewise synclient -m 100 will show a single line of all zeros, but does not show action. If I "cat /dev/input/mouse1" it shows all events but nothing for mouse2. The former is mouse1 and the latter is mouse2. The trackpad and trackstick is handled by "DualPoint Stick" and not "AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad". Synclient -l now sees the trackpad and I can set options.

I've included a patch for alps.c with this change.

I know it needs ALPS_PASS and ALPS_DUALPOINT, don't know about the last (nor how to test it).

I'm guessing regarding the masks and flags. I turned on debug in alps.c and it spit out the following:Īdding an entry for this (using the same flags as for the E6400) it gave the following status:

The track pad should allow setting of functionality via synclient. The trackpad and track stick have basic mouse functionalities and are not visible via synclient. Examine /var/log/Xorg.0.log for mention of the ALPS trackpad. I tried it in Fedora 12 and in Ubuntu, too.Ģ.

This is a kernel problem in drivers/input/mouse/alps.c and is applicable to this and other distributions. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): It is an alps trackpad with stick.įrom what I can gather the E6510 also uses the same trackpad. The trackpad on the Dell E6410 is not recognized.
