HP Mini 210 touchpad right click not working

[penguinrepair]

AWWSSOOMMEE... my hp mini 210-1010NR, now ******* free, touchpad patch wifi netbook-remix 16G sd card, swapfiled, quick and clean....

[Black Sunshine]

Well done! Worked fine for me.

I installed the patch and my mouse stopped working altogether. I have an Envy 15, not a Mini 210, but it uses the Synaptics Clickpad so I'd think it wouldn't make a difference. Anyone have similar results or know why this wouldn't work for me?

Hi All,

I am having some problems with the mouse patch installation. I loaded Ubuntu onto my HP 210 yesterday and have resolved most issues. I tried setting up the patch as described but think I have done something wrong.

I downloaded the patch and put it into my home folder (I found that I was only able to place things in the named user folder under the home folder. I then opened the terminal and entered the first line of the code. The terminal asked if I wanted to download patches so I said "yes". After the download the second line of code gave an error message <bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'>.

I have not been able to proceed any further with this remedy. I would appreciate some help on this one. Please explain any instructions at a very detailed level.

I also noted someone said that they removed the PS2 code that they had previously entered. How is this done?

Thanks

Hurrah, the patch worked for me -- many thanks!

You're much better off actually fixing the problem with the driver, as telling the system that the touchpad is a PS/2 mouse leaves you with zero control of the pad on the Mini 210. To do this, download the attachment at the bottom of this post and save it in your home folder:

Open the terminal on your Mini 210 and

sudo apt-get install build-essential patch linux-source

The kernel source will be a tarball that is installed in /usr/src. Extract it to your home directory like so:

tar -xjvf /usr/src/linux-source <tab>

Note that pressing tab will autocomplete to the version you downloaded. Once extracted, change to the source directory and untar the patch attachment you downloaded at the beginning:

cd linux-source <tab>
tar -xzvf ../clickpad.tar.gz

Now we'll patch the driver files, copy the Makefile to the right place, and compile and install the new driver:

patch -p1 <clickpad_patch
cp Makefile drivers/input/mouse/
cd drivers/input/mouse
make
sudo make install

Reboot your machine, and you'll find the touchpad works like it should. Note that this patch is based on Takashi Iwai's fine work here: http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/67335/

not working with ubuntu 10.04

not working with ubuntu 10.04

Maybe that was what was wrong with mine.

Maybe that was what was wrong with mine.

Same here how do i reverse this?

Probably there is a better way, but what I did is reinstalling the kernel.

sudo apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.32-19-generic
sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.32-19-generic

Lucid uses the udev architecture for input device control, apparently :-S

I found this on the Debian Wiki:

http://wiki.debian.org/SynapticsTouchpad

This goes in /etc/udev/rules.d/99-synaptics.rules


ACTION!="add|change", GOTO="my_synaptics_end"
KERNEL!="event*", GOTO="my_synaptics_end"
ENV{ID_INPUT_TOUCHPAD}!="1", GOTO="my_synaptics_end"

ENV{x11_driver}="synaptics"

ATTR{device/name}=="*SynPS/2*", \
ENV{x11_options.SHMConfig}="On", \
ENV{x11_options.EmulateTwoFingerMinZ}="40", \
ENV{x11_options.VertTwoFingerScroll}="1", \
ENV{x11_options.HorizTwoFingerScroll}="1", \
ENV{x11_options.TapButton1}="1", \
ENV{x11_options.TapButton2}="2", \
ENV{x11_options.TapButton3}="3"

LABEL="my_synaptics_end"

You have to delete the psmouse.modprobe file from /etc/modprobe.d/ if you used the psmouse kludge before, then create the 99-synaptics.rules file and fill in the above text and reboot. For me it got left and right mouse clicks working and also right hand edge scrolling, nice!

There is a whole section in the Ubuntu docs about setting this up here:

http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/...naptics.4.html

Maybe we can have a play around and improve on the Debian file?
