Greetings all;
I have a wireless M$ Explorer Touchmouse, and the touch pad is
buggier than a 10 day old carcass.
Specifically, the side scrolling is driving me crazy, and its not
a long trip. ;)
When it works, its 20x more sensitive sideways than vertically,
and I can't get my fingers far enough away from the pad to stop
its crazy behavior, and still rest them in a comfy location for
button pushing.
Is there anything I can put in an /etc/X11 file that will shut
the side scroll function off, but leave the vertical finger
drags working?
attach an evemu recording and your xorg.log to a bug please. I
don't have a recording for this one yet so it's hard to tell.
Cheers,
Peter
First off Peter, evemu is not 'locate'able. And I'm not sure you
want the current Xorg.0.log in your mailbox as its north of 179
megabytes.
you could have restarted X, or started another session for a fresh
log file. or cut down the thousands of lines of errors which is
likely what 99% of the log file are if it grows to that size in a
week.
I even sicc'd synaptic to find it in the ubuntu repo, and came up
dry there too.
evemu shows up as second link on google for me:
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Evemu/
but tbh, if you're on a 4 year old box you're pretty much on your
own, sorry. there may have been kernel fixes since, there may have
been evdev fixes since, etc.
I do occsionally build a fresher kernel because the default kernel
for this particular install, an rtai kit on top of 2.6.32-123, has
no PAE and there's 8Gb in this box. Running the OEM kernel only
sees 3Gb of that, and I'm a gigabyte into swap in 24hrs.
So the presently running kernel is a 3.16.0. 32 bit with PAE.
Hasn't touched swap in months.
Nest, that link 3rd line is bogus, needs an ".sh" tagged onto the
./autogen script cli invocation.
The autogen output this to the screen:
gene@coyote:/usr/src/evemu$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'

But make cannot find the makefile, and indeed there was not one
created. The INSTALL inserts a ./configure step in the sequence, and
that bails out for lack of:
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for LIBEVDEV... configure: error: Package requirements
(libevdev
= 1.2.99.902) were not met:
No package 'libevdev' found
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBEVDEV_CFLAGS
and LIBEVDEV_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
Apparently I'll need a git URL to get it and install it? Amazingly
that gets zero hits on google. You have found the ultimate google
non-entity! That has NEVER happened before.
So you see what I need to do above and I am waiting, with "baited"
breath for further instruction. ;-)

That is quite helpful. But this system hasn't such a critter. So I
pulled in the tarball for libevdev-1.3, but nothing I can do with a --
with-docs, or even spelling it out, seems to convince it to build the docs
too.
End of configure bailout
configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-documentation
Prefix /usr/local
Libdir ${exec_prefix}/lib
Build documentation no
Build unit-tests no
Enable profiling no
Static library symbol check yes
a --help doesn't show it as an option either. And that does puzzle me
because the --help on most configure scripts is 2 or 3 screens full.
please read up on a few tutorials on how to build software from source
and how to interpret the configure output. none of this here is special,
we just use standard automake stuff.
fwiw, the documentation is just doxygen, you can read it online on the
libevdev website, no need to build it locally.
Cheers,
Peter
