Hi all,
Does the latest FC3 kernel (770_FC3) have the necessary patches to work with a synaptics touchpad? That is, does anyone have synaptics working with the stock FC3 kernel (without re-compiling or anything like that)?
I don't know about FC3, but FC2's kernel 2.6.10-1.771_FC2 is fairly similar, and I have a synaptics touch-pad working fairly well.
Or, actually I don't have the touch-pad working at all, because the only thing I want to do with my touch-pad is to TURN OFF THE DAMN THING, especially the BLEEPING TAP-TO-CLICK. The bleeping touch-pad's default configuration is so sensitive that mere vibration of air molecules appear to be sufficient to generate mouse-clicks at random intervals.
I'm using the synaptics 0.12.5 driver for X, and here's the relevant snippets from xorg.conf. Hope this helps.
Section "InputDevice" Driver "synaptics" Identifier "Mouse0" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Protocol" "auto-dev" Option "LeftEdge" "1700" Option "RightEdge" "5300" Option "TopEdge" "1700" Option "BottomEdge" "4200" Option "FingerLow" "25" Option "FingerHigh" "30" # Turn this sucker off!!! # Option "MaxTapTime" "180" Option "MaxTapTime" "0" Option "MaxTapMove" "220" Option "VertScrollDelta" "100" Option "MinSpeed" "0.06" Option "MaxSpeed" "0.12" Option "AccelFactor" "0.0010" Option "SHMConfig" "on" # Option "Repeater" "/dev/ps2mouse" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes" EndSection
The blasted thing is for all practical purposes dead now, and I can do my business with a regular mouse.
