Hi Seth, I'd been considering switching to KDE anyway and after using it for the past few days am getting used to it. It's really nice having two-fingered scrolling. Here are the things I've noticed about the driver: * I occasionally get a stray palm press while typing, which switches the focus or moves my cursor. The problem isn't nearly as bad as it was before your driver. Previously, I used the patch from comments #307 and #154 to disable tap-to-click and retain my sanity. Eliminating all stray palm presses is my only real request about the driver. * Two-fingered tap to right-click works, but is very difficult to get right. I have to try several times to get a contextual menu to appear, but then other times I accidentally invoke it. For now, I've disabled this. I can never get it to detect a three-fingered tap. Neither of these are big deals for me. * I just now mastered tapping the corner to right click (for me it's set to bottom right corner). I have to tap and lift immediately. Still, a little tricky to get right (tap and lift seems to help with two fingered tap too). * When I hold my finger to the touchpad, the pointer quivers slightly. I believe you mentioned that this behavior would be improved in Oneric (I'm using Natty). * Horizontal scrolling with two fingers works. Single fingered scrolling on the bottom edge invokes vertical scrolling however (left = down, right = up). Strange, but not a big deal since two fingered horizontal scrolling works. * I thing "Horizontal circular scrolling" is working: if I start at any edge and move at an angle, I get vertical scrolling. * I can't seem to get "Continue edge scrolling automatically" to work (e.g. I have "Continue edge scrolling, while the finger stays in an edge corner" checked but that doesn't happen, but I'm not confident I'm doing it right). * "Continue cursor motion when hitting the touchpad edge" works just fine. Thanks so much for working on this. It was depressing to have this fancy touchpad and have to use it with such limited functionality. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help you in your debugging efforts. Kind regards, David - -- Latitude E6510 Natty, 64 bit. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJOgJppAAoJEMHeSXG7afUhpisH/jAtdxUHjsZeBOjHs7LpGfoM Qbdw2pJL4zrucAD2t1KcnYr+3h32oHRMkdVMSlIWvnqd6IZKLCQguvaZLU4s2Tik nWkZPv92FnBlhAjTRjBrt4RdxPimwUJoBiOotE8CnOvSt8teArJ4a7N4kUO45zV0 QK6UfqavXLLTVbbuGtKxPDJqkr5nqif5IBZjG3va0IaOGXpl+yRZyTPwcwR3EFHq dsnLfAdIcC43CaXjiZKhvFENlsVAeAPNcdUBtXr0Lkb2hhkDUYEVn4IpinQ9cZG4 XpnK3+QA/zh6ez+zgMHyNgPax4SCt9xIwhDQyuc3D6ixwO7+fmRwezpbGecrJbo= =gP9L -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/550625 Title: Alps touchpad is recognized but synaptics clients and scrolling do not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/550625/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
