Unable to configure mouse

malloc · 08-08-2011, 12:21 PM

I am unable to configure the features of the touchpad on my computer.
I am able to set the feature I want with synclient when X is running with "synclient TapButton1=0", which will disable the "tapping" feature on the touchpad -- this is what I want.

However, I when I try to set this as an option in my xorg.conf, I am unable to do so consistently.

In my xorg.conf: If I simply use /dev/input/mice as device, it never seems to work. However if I use the /dev/input/event* device which the mouse is actually detected as, then it will work. However this is a problem, as the particular number for the event device is subject to change after a reboot.

If I simply use /dev/input/mice I get an error that a synaptics device is not detected in my Xorg log -- still later on in the log it states a synaptics device has been detected under one of the /dev/input/event* devices. Does not /dev/input/mice map to the correct event device?

I have tried with different "protocol" settings as well as having attempted to combine and mix all settings I can think of. What am I doing wrong? I have the exact same issue on a Dell laptop as well.

Computer: Acer Aspire One D255E
Slackware version: 13.37
Kernel version: 3.0.0 (manually optimized for this computer, however the issue is reproducible with the stock kernel as well as other kernels).

If synclient works correctly for you without needing any configuration in xorg.conf or xorg.conf.d, then I'd suggest sticking with synclient. Add the entry (or entries) to your ~/.xinitrc file (or the appropriate file if you use run level 4) so that they are automatically run each time you start X. That's how I configure my touchpad on my laptop: I find the settings I want to use, and add the appropriate entry to ~/.xinitrc.
