Re: Macbook touchpad cursor moving "in steps"
OK, one more try!

I added the line "blacklist usbhid" to the end of the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, but I'm not sure what to change on /etc/modules. The file does not include "appletouch" or "usbhid". Should I add both to the end of the file?
Thanks once again,
Tiago

Yes, just make sure that usbhid is on a line after appletouch.
Re: Macbook touchpad cursor moving "in steps"
I tried to do that, but unfortunately the result was the same. Thanks for trying to help anyway.

Re: Macbook touchpad cursor moving "in steps"
Reading the patch, it seems it has already been applied some time ago, unfortunately.
Re: Macbook touchpad cursor moving "in steps"
I've been trying different options in Xorg.conf and I guess I found a configuration that works fairly well to me. I'll post it in case someone would like to try it:
Code:
Section "InputDevice"
# Basic settings
Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "SHMConfig" "true"
# Trackpad edges
Option "LeftEdge" "10"
Option "RightEdge" "1200"
Option "TopEdge" "10"
Option "BottomEdge" "370"
# Tap buttons
Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "TapButton2" "3"
Option "TapButton3" "2"
# Corner taps (disabled)
Option "RTCornerButton" "0"
Option "RBCornerButton" "0"
Option "LTCornerButton" "0"
Option "LBCornerButton" "0"
# Two-finger scroll
Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "on"
Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "on"
Option "VertScrollDelta" "20"
Option "HorizScrollDelta" "50"
# Edge scroll (disabled)
Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "off"
Option "VertEdgeScroll" "off"
# Locked drag (disabled)
Option "LockedDrags" "off"
# Finger pressure
Option "FingerLow" "10"
Option "FingerHigh" "20"
# Pointer speed and acceleration
Option "MinSpeed" "0.15"
Option "MaxSpeed" "1.00"
Option "AccelFactor" "0.15"
# Single tap
Option "MaxTapTime" "180"
Option "MaxTapMove" "220"
Option "SingleTapTimeout" "100"
# Double tap
Option "MaxDoubleTapTime" "220"
EndSection
The trackpad behavior should be similar to the one in Mac OS X. At least I'm happy with the results now.
Re: Macbook touchpad cursor moving "in steps"
I have this problem as well. Overall touchpad movement is not that smooth.
Re: Macbook touchpad cursor moving "in steps"
Sorry to bring up an old thread, but as I'm having the exact same problem...
Think I've got a Macbook Pro 3,1 and the cursor is moving just as described in the first post. It's annoying because I have to be with a mouse to use, for example, the selection tools in GIMP.
It moves sort of like it wants to go in a straight vertical/horizontal line as much as possible. It doesn't like going diagonal slowly.
So if anyone ever solved this problem, I'd like to know.
Thanks

You may have conflicting settings... Make sure you don't have the touch pad configured in xorg.conf and hal fdi

Actually, my xorg.conf has nothing related to Synaptics or the touchpad. All my touchpad settings are in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/appletouch.fdi.
