Description Darek Borkowski 2005-10-19 07:59:29 UTC

I have Toshiba Satellite 1135-S1554 with touchpad (I think it is synaptics but I 
'm not sure). In SuSE 9.1, 9.2, 9.3 it worked ok. But now in 10.0 final 
something wrtong happend. After system update form 9.3 I put a finger on 
touchpad in one place ut the cursor started to move slowly towards left top 
corner (1 pix up, 1 pix left). The click with no buttons (I think this means 
tapping) worked like a RMB not LMB. So I run ksynaptics. After some tests I 
disable slow moving of cursor. But I cannot set tapping in the way that I click 
or double click using touchpad surface not the buttons. It worked in previous 
versions of SUSE with no additional configuration. It is working now in Windows 
XP on this laptop.
I have newest x11-synaptics and ksynaptics rpm installed.

Could you add /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log? Thanks.

I found partial resolution on http://web.telia.com/~u89404340/touchpad/ and rest I found myself. The problem is in the ksynaptics. I put below part of my xorg.conf with lines commented out by me # (just for clarity and to make touchpad configuration possible simple). After this comments and restarting X the click started to work in KDM but not in KDE, so my think was that it is ksynaptics problem. So I uninstalled ksynaptics and click work now good. The key in xorg.conf was IMHO the   Option       "MaxTapMove" "12" (it should be small) and removing of ksynaptics.

I'm changing Status of the bug, to FIXED but the fix is not ellegant and uses removing of ksynaptisc.rpm which probably is buggy itself.

Comment 5 Stefan Dirsch 2005-10-19 09:14:03 UTC

Reopen and assigning to maintainer of ksynaptics. He's currently on vacation, so stay tuned.

Comment 6 Darek Borkowski 2005-10-20 07:23:38 UTC

Ok, thank you.

Comment 7 Forgotten User ZhJd0F0L3x 2005-10-24 07:55:47 UTC

ksynaptics is currently not quite up-to-date wrt the alps/synaptics driver and might set some things incorrect. A new version is out and i will try to get out a new package soon which _might_ solve the problem (but i cannot promise ;-)

Right now, removing ksynaptics is probably the best solution, sorry for the hassle.

Comment 8 Stefan Dirsch 2006-01-25 13:50:07 UTC

Any news on this one? ksynaptics has been updated to 0.2.3 by dmueller. Since ksynaptics is in no selection you can lower the severity I think.

Comment 9 Forgotten User ZhJd0F0L3x 2006-02-13 18:10:36 UTC

The updated package can be obtained from ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_10.0/applications/ksynaptics-0.2.3-3.i586.rpm
or a mirror. Does it help?

Comment 10 Stephan Kulow 2006-05-07 11:52:15 UTC

please check with 10.1 - I tested ksynaptics and it worked fine
