[opensuse-factory] KDE touchpad configuration lets me use only one finger
I can't enable two-finger scrolling in the touchpad dialogue in systemsettings. In the panel "Touchpad-Informationen" (german localization), it displays that my touchpad recognized only one finger. I can't change that value. But my touchpad can do more and two-finger scrolling works perfectly when I enable it via synclient or xinput. So probably this problem is due to insufficient detection of hardware? I'm on a Lenovo Thinkpad T410s. Anyone else having this problem?

Sure, with my T410s I have the same problem. Furthermore, I cannot configure the Palm Detection with the touchpad system settings.

Are you guys saying that synaptiks screws it up? Or are you saying there's a problem deeper in X? I mean you can simply uninstall synaptiks if things were better without any configuration tool at all like in 11.2 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I am not sure what the problem exactly is, that's why I did not file a bug report, yet.

IMHO the problem is that the KDE4 synaptiks system setting thinks that the touchpad of the T410s support only one finger. Furthermore, it seems to not support palm detection configuration. If I use xinput to set the correct properties, everything works fine[0]. Thus, I think that X has no problem and synaptiks just does not fully detect the capabilities of the TouchPad and/or has no support for palm detection.

Hmm. Synaptiks bugs are tracked on bitbucket. I see there's already a bug report about two finger issues, maybe you can comment on that, or create a new report if it's a different issue: http://bitbucket.org/lunar/synaptiks/issue/38/support-for-two-finger-emulati... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

http://bitbucket.org/lunar/synaptiks/issue/38/support-for-two-finger-emulati... There they say that when deleting the synaptiksrc-defaults, synaptiks should fall back to the configuration it receives from X. I tried, and it seems that X reports that the T410s touchpad understands only one finger :/ (it can do at least two.
How can I find out what X reports about my touchpad, in order to comment on the bug report? Thanks, Michael -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

The TouchPad is a real multi-touch one. So I think that there is no emulation is needed. Furthermore, I did not find any reference to synaptiks and multi- touch (via google). Maybe it is not supported by synaptiks? Gruß Jan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
