the output of the command:

   /usr/sbin/sysp -q mouse

is needed to assign another driver to the device

Thanks

/usr/sbin/sysp -q mouse

Mouse1 is my external USB-Mouse

it's not the external mouse, my fault.

By playing with sysp I found out that there are two keyboards detected too, is this intended?

# /usr/sbin/sysp -q keyboard
Keyboard0 =>  XkbModel   : macintosh
Keyboard0 =>  XkbLayout  : de
Keyboard0 =>  XkbVariant : nodeadkeys
Keyboard0 =>  Name       : Apple Internal Keyboard / Trackpad
Keyboard0 =>  VendorID   : 0x05ac
Keyboard0 =>  DeviceID   : 0x0218
Keyboard0 =>  Profile    : <undefined>
Keyboard0 =>  RealDevice : /dev/input/event3

Keyboard1 =>  XkbModel   : macintosh
Keyboard1 =>  XkbLayout  : de
Keyboard1 =>  XkbVariant : nodeadkeys
Keyboard1 =>  Name       : Apple Keyboard
Keyboard1 =>  VendorID   : 0x05ac
Keyboard1 =>  DeviceID   : 0x1000
Keyboard1 =>  Profile    : <undefined>
Keyboard1 =>  RealDevice : /dev/input/event5

* Hmm, I'm confused which device is your mouse you want to assign
  the synaptics touchpad driver for ?

* I think before we start to map anything here the bug I assume to
  be in hwinfo should be fixed:

    - it reports two keyboard where only one keyboard exist
    - it reports a keyboard device as mouse

Steffen can you have a look at this ?

Thanks

The following will work [tested on 10.3]:

in xorg.conf:

Option          "TapButton1"                    "1"
EndSection

... add to Section "ServerLayout" the following entry:

   InputDevice  "Synaptics Touchpad" "CorePointer"

Install ksynaptics and configure to your needs.
This should be done automatically if possible.

- uhm: this works on a macbook pro
- on 10.2 this could work as well depending on the modell ... you might have to do the following before starting the X server:

/sbin/rmmod appletouch;/sbin/rmmod usbhid;/sbin/modprobe appletouch;/sbin/modprobe usbhid

all in one line, otherwise you can't use the keyboard anymore

(In reply to comment #6)
> - uhm: this works on a macbook pro
I wrote this report for a plain MacBook. Your configuration is working here too. But the scrolling area seems way too big. It is around 40% of the touchpad.

On my MacBook it works without such hacks.

Testing this config more deeply. I must say please do not use this config for the plain MacBook it is really not working well. My config from the first entry is working way better.

I tried the config from the initial description on a MacBook Pro (old Intel) and 10.2 and it works fine.

It is still not working with current factory. What is needed?

didn't find the time yet to look at it

ping?

Can you please post the log of 'hwinfo --usb --log=xxx' for this machine?

Created attachment 172762 [details]
hwinfo --usb --log=hwinfo

Here is the hwinfo.

To keep this bug up-to-date:

The blog entry with the configuration I referred to in my initial comment moved to http://simon.vanderlinden.eu.org/howtos/macbook-emulate-a-synaptics-touchpad-with-ubuntu-gnulinux/  and the configuration changed a little ...

Section "InputDevice"

Option          "SHMConfig"     "on"

Option          "LeftEdge"      "100"
Option          "RightEdge"     "1100"

Option          "MinSpeed"      "0.15"
Option          "MaxSpeed"      "0.90"

Option          "VertScrollDelta"       "25"
Option          "HorizScrollDelta"      "30"
EndSection

This configuration works better than the one from the original bug-report.

updating as this bug is still present.

As far as I can see this bug is still present. What is missing to get this solved?

According to 
  http://www.michelem.org/2007/12/09/how-to-install-ubuntu-gutsy-on-a-macbook-31-generation/


Appletouch module needs this patch for Macbook 3.

  http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10335284/appletouch-add-macbook3-trackpad.patch

Checked by me for OpenSuSE 10.3 for kernel 2.6.22.13-0.3-default. 
Touchpad becomes working with warnings:

appletouch Geyser 3 inited.
input: appletouch as /class/input/input17
usbcore: registered new interface driver appletouch
appletouch: incomplete data package (first byte: 2, length: 4).

Please try again (that is, attach 'hwinfo --mouse --log=foo') with alpha3
or with hwinfo >= 14.2 from Factory.

Created attachment 198927 [details]
hwinfo --mouse --log=foo

This is the output with hwinfo 14.3.

I think hwinfo works nicely now. Back to Marcus.

I have adapted the mapping table for this device

Hardware: Intel MacBook, first generation (with Core Duo CPU)
openSUSE-Version: 11.0 Beta 2
Media: KDE4 Live-CD (not installed to hard drive)

Problem: There's no obvious way to trigger a right-click. 2 finger tap and 3 finger tap does not work. Driver used for the touchpad is called "Apple USB Mouse" instead of "Synaptic". Changing the driver to "Synaptic" and restarting X didn't rectify the problem.

Test

First Last, I think this is a different issue. Felix, could you give Beta2 a try to verify that the issue has been fixed for you? Then Last's issue can be handled seperately.

I would really like to verify it, but unfortunately SUSE has not been able to generate a xorg.conf see: bug #374101.

I'm pretty sure

   init 3
   sax2 -a

creates a xorg.conf

Created attachment 212354 [details]
xorg.conf.sax080505

sax2 does indeed create one but an unusable one. (i.e. no keyboard) 

It has two mice configured with synaptics in it. One has no options and the other one has options way off. The coordinates of the edges are not close to what was suggested in this report. Therefore one third of the touchpad is scrolling area ...

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 374101 ***

I do not see how this is connected to bug #374101 . 

The problem is the wrong parameters in the xorg.conf for this touchpad. As far as I can see this information comes from /usr/share/sax/api/data/cdb/Pointers.

ALPS:Touchpad {
 Driver       = synaptics
 Device       = /dev/input/mice
 RawOption    = "SHMConfig" "on","Protocol" "auto-dev","LeftEdge" "120","RightEdge" "830","TopEdge" "120","BottomEdge" "650","FingerLow" "14","FingerHigh" "15","MaxTapTime" "180","MaxTapMove" "110","EmulateMidButtonTime" "75","VertScrollDelta" "20","HorizScrollDelta" "20","MinSpeed" "0.2","MaxSpeed" "0.5","AccelFactor" "0.01","EdgeMotionMinSpeed" "15","EdgeMotionMaxSpeed" "15","UpDownScrolling" "1","CircularScrolling" "1","CircScrollDelta" "0.1","CircScrollTrigger" "2"
 ZAxisMapping = 4 5
 Emulate3Buttons = on
}

Is this supposed to be adapted somewhere?

These options are about right:            |  But the default is:
================================================================
Option          "LeftEdge"      "100"     |  "LeftEdge" "120"
Option          "RightEdge"     "1100"    |  "RightEdge" "830"
Option          "TopEdge"       "50"      |  "TopEdge" "120"
Option          "BottomEdge"    "300"     |  "BottomEdge" "650"

Even with bug #374101 fixed, the options are still just the default ones. Therefore reopening.

send me an InputDevice section which works for your and I will
update the profile. I don't have the hardware so I can't test

the options from comment #15 are still valid. 

However I am not sure about:
Option          "TapButton1"    "1"
Option          "TapButton2"    "3"
Option          "TapButton3"    "2"

What is the behaviour to right and double click on non-macbook hardware?

With the config from comment #15 I now have the following:
1 finger  -- left
2 fingers -- right
3 fingers -- double

You may adapt that section accordingly to SUSE defaults, otherwise it works fine.

ok I have added the following patch
