Hi,
Firstly, many-many thanks to Seth for a very nice work!
My system:
Dell Latitude Laptop E6520
ubuntu 11.04
@aa-i7:~$ uname -a
Linux aa-i7 2.6.38-11-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 29 19:02:55 UTC 2011
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Dual touchpad with the stick
I have installed the driver through package manager. The laptop failed
to shut down properly (hard reboot was required), but that might totally
unrelated to the driver installation since it happed sometime before and
it might related to the fact that the laptop was on suspend before.
(Further several reboot were fine)
The system booted up properly, the touchpad is properly recognised:
Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ DualPoint Stick id=12 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad id=13 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Sleep Button id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Laptop_Integrated_Webcam_FHD id=10 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=11 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Dell WMI hotkeys id=14 [slave keyboard (3)]
aa@aa-i7:~$
In the "mouse" preferences there is now a touchpad part which has got the
options:
General
disable touchpad while typing
enable mouse clicks with touchpad
Scrolling
Disable / Enable edge scrolling / Two-finger scrolling
Enable horizontal scrolling
If choosing two-finger scrolling then the scrolling does not work at
all.
But both horizontal and vertical work when "Enable edge scrolling" is
chosen.
In general touchpad is feeling much better now. I did not use the stick
before, so I can not comment on that, but generally it seems quite fine.
I also compared the touchpad and stick performance under Win7 and ubuntu
and now I do not see much difference.
However, it would be nice to add:
- separate sensitivity and speed tuning for the stick and the touchpad
!!!
Many-Many thanks !!!!
