Hi, I'm trying to enable mouse movement on my synaptics touchpad while touching the part of the touchpad 'masked' by AreaBottomEdge. My touchpad has 'integrated' mouse buttons, which makes clicking on something that isn't huge exceedingly difficult. So, I have disabled use of the region of the touchpad intended for these buttons by setting
synclient AreaBottomEdge=4000 This works, for the most part. The issue is that I like to have one finger of the left hand touching, but not pressing, the left mouse button, while a finger on the right hand finger is moving the mouse pointer. This doesn't work, however: when anything touches the mousepad on the part masked out by AreaBottomEdge (or anywhere else), the touchpad stops registering mouse motion. A notable exception is that when I click a touchpad button, *and* start mouse motion at the exact same time. Then I am able to move the mouse pointer with one hand, while the other is holding the mouse button. This isn't very useful in itself, but it shows that what I am after is, I suspect, a software matter. Do you know whether there is anything I can do to make this happen? If it helps, Xorg.0.log shows the device as: synaptics: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: Vendor 0x2 Product 0x7 I'm using the following synaptics driver package: xorg-x11-drv-synaptics-1.7.4-1.fc20.x86_64 Thanks, Bastiaan _______________________________________________ xorg@lists.x.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: %(user_address)s
