Public bug reported: I have a laptop "Asus S65CM" with a large Elantech Touchpad. Please google it and see the touchpad.
First problem: the touchpad is not automatically configured in a correct way. So I wrote a script to correct the parameters of "synclient" as enclosed. In this way, it work quite well but still a little but annoying bug. The parameter "AreaBottomEdge = 1800" is used to reducting the Area of sensibility of the Touchpad. This is true about the movements but it is not true about the "fingers counting". For example, if I let one my finger in the area of the left button, which is suppose to be a death-area, outside "AreaBottom", it suppose to not be considered. But actually if I put also a finger to move the curson in "central" zone the touchpad recognize it as TwoFingers, so is blocking the cursor. If think internally is a problem of "button counting" which is performed before than the AreaBottom constrain. Parameter settings: LeftEdge = 129 RightEdge = 3120 TopEdge = 120 BottomEdge = 2103 FingerLow = 9 FingerHigh = 12 FingerPress = 256 MaxTapTime = 180 MaxTapMove = 173 MaxDoubleTapTime = 180 SingleTapTimeout = 150 ClickTime = 100 FastTaps = 1 EmulateMidButtonTime = 0 EmulateTwoFingerMinZ = 282 EmulateTwoFingerMinW = 7 VertScrollDelta = 78 HorizScrollDelta = 78 VertEdgeScroll = 1 HorizEdgeScroll = 1 CornerCoasting = 0 VertTwoFingerScroll = 1 HorizTwoFingerScroll = 1 MinSpeed = 1.5 MaxSpeed = 3.5 AccelFactor = 0.1 TrackstickSpeed = 40 EdgeMotionMinZ = 30 EdgeMotionMaxZ = 40 EdgeMotionMinSpeed = 100 EdgeMotionMaxSpeed = 400 EdgeMotionUseAlways = 0 TouchpadOff = 2 LockedDrags = 0 LockedDragTimeout = 5000 RTCornerButton = 2 RBCornerButton = 3 LTCornerButton = 0 LBCornerButton = 0 TapButton1 = 1 TapButton2 = 3 TapButton3 = 2 ClickFinger1 = 1 ClickFinger2 = 3 ClickFinger3 = 0 CircularScrolling = 0 CircScrollDelta = 0.1 CircScrollTrigger = 0 CircularPad = 0 PalmDetect = 1 PalmMinWidth = 10 PalmMinZ = 200 CoastingSpeed = 10 CoastingFriction = 50 PressureMotionMinZ = 30 PressureMotionMaxZ = 160 PressureMotionMinFactor = 1 PressureMotionMaxFactor = 1 ResolutionDetect = 1 GrabEventDevice = 1 TapAndDragGesture = 1 AreaLeftEdge = 0 AreaRightEdge = 0 AreaTopEdge = 0 AreaBottomEdge = 1800 HorizHysteresis = 19 VertHysteresis = 19 ClickPad = 1 RightButtonAreaLeft = 1624 RightButtonAreaRight = 0 RightButtonAreaTop = 1822 RightButtonAreaBottom = 0 MiddleButtonAreaLeft = 0 MiddleButtonAreaRight = 0 MiddleButtonAreaTop = 0 MiddleButtonAreaBottom = 0 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.04 Package: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics 1.6.2-1ubuntu6 [modified: usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf] ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.8.0-19.30-generic 3.8.8 Uname: Linux 3.8.0-19-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.9.2-0ubuntu8 Architecture: amd64 Date: Mon May 13 21:44:07 2013 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: raring DistroVariant: ubuntu InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-05-12 (1 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-GNOME 13.04 "Raring Ringtail" - Release amd64 (20130424) MachineType: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.
