    Re: xf86-input-mtrack: The Other Multitouch Trackpad Driver

    I am running a MacBook 5,5 with a true multitouch trackpad using the bcm5974 driver. For my xorg file I copy pasta this

    Section "InputClass"
    MatchIsTouchpad "on"
    Identifier "Touchpads"
    Driver "mtrack"
    EndSection

    That's tap-to-drag. See post #39.

    Wow, just got back to the forum after a few days of absence and such a progress, impressive.

    Glad you were able to confirm this. I'm going to take a more indepth look at the code tonight and see if I can't figure out what's causing it. Hopefully I'll have progress to report in an hour or a few.
    Great, can report that this is now working as expected:
    Code:
      Option          "TapButton1" "0"
        Option          "TapButton2" "0"
        Option          "TapButton3" "0"
    1) You successfully execute two finger scrolling.
    2) You lift one finger from the trackpad, leaving exactly one finger touching.
    3) With a single finger you click the physical button on the trackpad.
    4) This causes a right click.
    With your new code, the ButtonTouchExpire Setting is doing the trick, the default value of 100ms is a perfect value. Thanks much for doing all this great work!

    That's not enoigh. I need to see the entire contents of that file as well as the Xorg log file. Please use a service like pastebin to upload them.

    The mtrack driver is never loaded by Xorg. Your config is correct, though.

    Make sure this file exists:
    Code:
    /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/mtrack.so
    If it does not then the driver was not installed.

    Are you using Ubuntu? If yes, what version? If not, what are you using?

    As I've said, if you're using Ubuntu, the easiest way is to install the deb from my website:

    Code:
    # wget http://www.dev.fatalmachine.org/xf86-input-mtrack/ubuntu/xserver-xorg-input-mtrack_0.1.1_VERSION_ARCH.deb
    # sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-input-mtrack_0.1.1_VERSION_ARCH.deb
    Where VERSION is either maverick or natty and ARCH is i386 or amd64 (both depending on what flavor of Ubuntu you have installed). I don't have Lucid packages yet.

    I had attempted to install this for 10.04 just to try it. However this /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/mtrack.so does not exist. Not sure why. I had followed the steps posted on a previous page to install and received no errors.

    You're using Lucid, which I have not tested against. The packages will not even build as-is in my Lucid build environment so I'd be surprised if you didn't get any errors, especially if that file is missing, since at the very least it indicates the install step failed or wasn't run.

    You will need to wait till I've got packages built for Lucid unless you want to upgrade to Maverick or Natty. Or you can attempt to solve the issue yourself in Lucid.

    I intend to have packages for Lucid by the next feature release.

    My bet is that the build is failing somewhere for lucid lynx. Can you upgrade to Natty? I can verify that the code is working on Natty.

    Just so you know, that small how to I wrote was for Natty, sorry. I thought you were running it. Did you get any errors while following that?

    Damn, dragon beat me to it.
