This bug also applies to the HP Mini 210-1010NR model. Just to recap my own experience:
Out of the box, the actual "buttons" (which are physically part of the pad area) don't work. To effectuate a click, one has to tap on the pad. Right click is very hard, as one has to tap on the lower right corner of the pad; it usually takes me a few tries. Two-fingered scrolling does not work, but edge scrolling does. This is my workaround: I discovered that by applying the following settings via synclient, I can achieve two-fingered scrolling, and a two- fingered tap will be interpreted as a right-click. (However, two- fingered scrolling is still a disabled option in gnome-mouse-mouse- properties.) This isn't a fix to this bug, but it might help people who are having trouble. This command will do it: synclient TapButton2=3 HorizTwoFingerScroll=1 VertTwoFingerScroll=1 EmulateTwoFingerMinZ=29 EmulateTwoFingerMinW=5 By the way, what is the "correct" way to apply these settings automatically at start up? Does one have to edit /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/* or is there a per-user way of applying these settings other than invoking synclient in .xinitrc? Any help would be appreciated. -- TouchPad buttons don't work on HP Mini 210 (1030NR) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/516329 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
