[Bug 402864] New: Touchpad Stops Working
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=402864 Summary: Touchpad Stops Working Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: faizanqazi@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- This is easily reproducible by removing touchpad settings from /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad by unsetting the keys. Then logging in once and running gsynaptics and logging in again a second time. On the second login the touchpad stops working. gsynaptics does not write the settings for acceleration and sensitivity on the first run causing them to be seen as zero on the second login causing the mouse to stop moving. Something similar happened to me without these steps but when it happened the first time it acted the same way. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It looks like I happened to find a workaround of the issue.
[Control Centre] > [System] > [Sessions] > [Startup programs] Edit [Touchpad]. Replace: gsynaptics-init --sm-disable with: gsynaptics-init on
I hope it works for you guys as well.
A similar workaround suggested in the forum (http://forums.opensuse.org/hardware/laptop/397482-touch-pad-problems.html#po...) by modulep worked so far for me that I could use my touch pad again after going to control panel>sessions, unchecking 'touchpad' and rebooting. But I was still being unable to change the configuration of my synaptics touch pad by gsynaptics - gsynaptics did not start and opensuse 11.0 was saying: "GSynaptics couldn't initialize. You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics " But neither that suggested change in XF86Config did bring Gsynaptics to work nor did 'SHMConfig'='on'. Instead after trying to change something (reconfigure in SaX2, uninstalling and reinstalling gsynaptics, ect.) the touch pad worked generally but it's virtual mouse wheel did not. So I reconfigured my touch pad manually and changed boot options permanently like described in http://de.opensuse.org/SDB:Konfiguration_des_Synaptics-Touchpad_unter_SUSE_L... . Now my touch pad works with the virtual (vertical) mouse wheel. P.S.: I would find this keywords useful but could not ad them (they seem to be not "legal" - maybe "illegally"???): mousepad, mouse, laptop, notebook, touchpad, touch pad, gsynaptics -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Resolved? what was the problem?
gsynaptics doesn't support a partial configuration stored in gconf, but makes it possible to get this result.
What is the fix?
A patch in the new package, taken from Debian.
I reported it for 11.0 (#403727). Is it fixed for 11.0? How do I get the fix?
Unfortunately, an update for 11.0 won't be allowed for this (there's a really strict policy), so the fix will only be in 11.1. Fortunately, we have the build service, so you can get a fixed package from the home:vuntz:11.0-testing project there. Or go directly to http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/vuntz:/11.0-testing/openSUSE... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Have we stopped updating 11.0? I don't understand why a patch isn't officially available for 11.0. It's broken in 11.0, and should be fixed in 11.0.
I got several updates (including fix for crashes) for packages in 11.0 rejected, so my understanding is that only really major fixes should go in. If you want to try to push for an update, go ahead. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
