Hi! Just tried this driver - I didn't know it existed before. I'd had troubles with the synaptics support in GPM (pointer disappearing and reappearing, erratic movement, etc). This driver doesn't appear appear to have those difficulties. There seem to be a few issues on my Compaq Evo N160, however: * the right mouse button doesn't generate any pointer events * the four-way directional buttons all generate a button 5 press (is it possible to have it generate 5/6/7/8? or configure the buttons? I'd like to use one of the directions as a middle mouse button, and the others for a scroll-wheel type affair. As long as the numbers are independent then I can probably reconfigure the order with xmodmap. * scrollarea doesn't seem to be picked up - do i need to fiddle with the boundries of the device? is there a convenient way to show the max extents of the device?) * I also had to add the core pointer option to my settings - it might be nice to add that directive in the example in INSTALL Thanks for the great work. :-) > You may download a binary or source code at > http://mobilix.org/software.html > > There are some problems with newer versions of the protocol (firmware), > please let Stefan know, if you have any specs or solutions. > Please direct questions to me. -- Damien Elmes -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
