[Bug 882230] New: Add Lenovo Clickpad support to openSUSE 13.1
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=882230 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=882230#c0 Summary: Add Lenovo Clickpad support to openSUSE 13.1 Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 13.1 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: openSUSE 13.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: bnc-team-xorg-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: joschibrauchle@gmx.de QAContact: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/35.0.1916.114 Safari/537.36 The recently released Lenovo Thinkpad T*40 series uses a so-called "Clickpad" as touchpad replacement. The clickpad creates a couple of problems in daily use with openSUSE 13.1: 1) Soft-buttons for use with the trackstick are not supported 2) Physical click on Clickpad moves mouse (impossible to hit icons reliably) Both issues have been fixed with the Xorg synaptics driver in version 1.8, see: http://who-t.blogspot.com.au/2014/03/xorg-synaptics-support-for-lenovo-t440.... Please backport this driver update to openSUSE 13.1 if possible. As openSUSE 13.2 will not be out until November, backporting this update will significantly improve usability for 13.1 in the meantime. Additionally, the Clickpad firmware reports wrong X and Y dimensions to the kernel. Thus it is not possible to use percentage values in the Xorg conf included with the driver above. There has been a tweak added to kernel 3.15 to fix the clickpad dimensions: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/3/7/722 Please backport this fix to kernel 3.11 in openSUSE 13.1 for the same reasons as mentioned above! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Click on Lenovo Clickpad OR 2. Use touch buttons for trackpad Actual Results: 1. Mouse moves while clicking OR 2. Touch buttons are not supported natively -- 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.

The benefit over the original driver is PRICELESS for the new thinkpad clickpads. Without this driver, the clickpad is barely usable. Please consider updating OS13.1 with the new driver version. -- 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.

Is there a new repo where I can find the version 1.8 of synaptics? -- 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.
