Hi everyone,

I am using Linux Mint Nadia which ships with X.Org 1.13.0 on a Sony Vaio Z13. I experience two problems with the Synaptics driver which do not occur on the Windows 7 Professional installation on the same machine:

1. Moving the mouse pointer using the touchpad works fine, however, everytime when I release the finger from the touchpad, the mouse pointer "jumps" a little bit from its reached position. I guess this is because I do not release the finger steady enough and thus releasing the finger triggers some additional mouse pointer movement. This really is annoying because e.g. when I hover on a button, then release the finger to tap the button, often the mouse pointer jumps away from the button and the tap clicks the wrong button. Is there any way to tell the Synaptics driver in X.org to ignore movements when the finger is released? The Synaptics Windows driver does not have this problem, here when I release the finger, the mouse pointer never jumps. I already tried to play with some synclient options but to no avail.

2. The Sony Vaio Z13 has "ClickPad" buttons. They do react to clicks, however, the buttons itself are sensitive to cursor movements. I tried to set AreaBottomEdge to exclude the button area but when I do this, detection of the right button (as facilitated by RightButtonArea... settings in synclient) fails. Is there a way to exclude the button area from creating pointer movements and still allow the right button to work?

Below I'm giving you my synclient settings. Please let me know if you need any more info.

Any help or pointers is greatly appreciated.

Best regards
Markus
