Dear Ahmed, Thank you for your email but some of what you ask is beyond my understanding. Nevertheless, here goes (with transcript/output and comments where I get stuck! if you can give better directions here I can re do):
[1.Enter the following command in a terminal/console: ] /* below is a direct screen dump as nothing seemed to output from the commands */ r...@stuart-laptop:/home/stuart# xmodmap -pp >~/xmodmap r...@stuart-laptop:/home/stuart# xinput --list-props "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" >~/xinput r...@stuart-laptop:/home/stuart# [2. Switch to a VT using Crtl+Alt+F2 and enter following in your terminal ] /*I don't what a VT looks like/understand -never used one and pressing Crtl+Alt+F2 does nothing! -so staying in the same terminal window */ r...@stuart-laptop:/home/stuart# sudo evtest /dev/input/eventX > ~/evtest sudo: evtest: command not found r...@stuart-laptop:/home/stuart# [3. Scroll, tap, drag, press buttons and create various other possible events on the touchpad and then press CTRL+C to exit. 4. Press Crtl+Alt+F7 to switch back to X. ] // these are not possible as step 2 failed [5. Attach ~/xmodmap, ~/xinput and your ~/evtest to the bug report in separate attachments. ] // I don't understand this so would need assistance - here are a couple of listings which may or may not help gleaned from the forums etc: r...@stuart-laptop:/home/stuart# cat /proc/bus/input/devices I: Bus=0019 Vendor=0000 Product=0005 Version=0000 N: Name="Lid Switch" P: Phys=PNP0C0D/button/input0 S:
