Hi folks,
Just got a new Sager NP8690 laptop and installed Ubuntu Karmic on it. Upon installation, I was unable to use the scrolling on the touchpad at all.
The Preference -> Mouse dialog did not display a Touchpad tab.
xinput list says:
Code:
"Virtual core pointer" id=0 [XPointer]
Num_buttons is 32
Num_axes is 2
Mode is Relative
Motion_buffer is 256
Axis 0 :
Min_value is -1
Max_value is -1
Resolution is 0
Axis 1 :
Min_value is -1
Max_value is -1
Resolution is 0
...
"ImExPS/2 Generic Explorer Mouse" id=9 [XExtensionPointer]
Type is MOUSE
Num_buttons is 13
Num_axes is 2
Mode is Relative
Motion_buffer is 256
Axis 0 :
Min_value is -1
Max_value is -1
Resolution is 1
Axis 1 :
Min_value is -1
Max_value is -1
Resolution is 1
I tried changing xorg.conf to use the synaptics driver, with the following changes to that section:
Code:
Section "InputDevice"
# generated from default
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "SHMConfig" "on"
EndSection
Upon rebooting, the same issue occurred. I tried installing gsynaptics with sudo apt-get install gsynaptics but upon trying to run it directly after rebooting, I get:
Code:
GSynaptics couldn't initialize.
You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics.
Same error if I access Preferences -> Touchpad. At this point I'm lost as to how to proceed. Any ideas?
