Following the instructions as graciously compiled by Johanna in comment #94 has restored the right button functionality on my Hp Pavilion dv7-4073nr under Ubuntu 10.10 (which disappeared when upgrading from 10.04 like others have noted). I still have random movements as my palm brushes the pad, but at least I am not going insane trying to press the right button on a tiny area at the corner. Thanks to all for the work on this!
I find a jumpy cursor value of 250 works well for me on this model. Also, for those like me that don't have SMHConfig on, I can test changing configuration values on the fly with commands like: xinput set-int-prop 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad' 'JumpyCursorThreshold' 8 200 The 8 is the size of the 200 value, and the appropriate values and options can be gleaned from the man page of synaptics. -- Synaptics Clickpad touchpad buttons are not working https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/582809 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
