what is the model of your laptop ?
does your kernel (and your laptop) support ACPI ?
if yes, install the acpid package (debian package acpid, mandrake ?). if not, try something with apm (but i don't know how it works).
to install the synaptics touchpad :
first, if your bios allow it, disable the native bios usb support.
second, see if your kernel recognize the synaptics touchpad : dmesg | less
you should have lines like this : ------------------ Synkernaptics Touchpad, model: 1 Sensor: 29 new absolute packet format Touchpad has extended capability bits -> 4 multi-buttons, i.e. besides standard buttons -> multifinger detection -> palm detection -------------------
if not, install a recent kernel, 2.6.6 or 2.6.7.
Maybe the X driver for the synaptics is not installed. execute : find /usr -name '*synaptics*' you should have a line as : /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/input/synaptics_drv.o
if not, install the package (in debian, it is only in the unstable section, for mandrake, I don't know). you can install the driver manually, if you don't want to migrate to unstable. src and doc is at http://w1.894.telia.com/%7Eu89404340/touchpad/index.html
Be careful, if have a configured mouse more to your touchpad, in the section "serveurLayout" of the XF85Config, *put* the mouse *after* the synaptics. Example :
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen "Default Screen"
InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
InputDevice "Synaptics Mouse" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Configured Mouse" "AlwaysCore"
EndSection
Thank for your review.. my laptop model is winbook WL2120C.. and support ACPI...but i was loss my bios password and can't recovery it... how must i do to disable native bioss usb support ?.
my synaptic touchpad only detect my move finger [cursor] dan move but i can't click from my synaptic [to clik i must press my buton] ?
Hi,
I had the same problem with my synaptic touchpad and clicking using
kernel < 2.6.6. With 2.6.7 everything works fine.
@(none???): Why is it important to *put* the mouse *after* the synaptics?
hi,
on my laptop, a maxdata 8100X (very nice computer -:), when I configured X, I put the mouse declaration first and after the touchpad declaration.
But only the mouse worked, not the touchpad.
So, I tried to put the synaptics first Then, mouse and touchpad worked together. Magical !!!
sorry for the mail address.
