    Re: Ubuntu 12.04 lts Hp touchpad right click problem

    @AnotherMuggle:
    I tried your solution ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php...7&postcount=18 ) on a Dell Inspiron Q15R N5110, which had a problem with the edge scrolling of its touchpad.
    The result of the following command
    Code:
    sudo dkms status
    is (last lines)
    Code:
    psmouse, 3.2.0-24-generic-pae, 3.2.0-27-generic, x86_64: installed
    psmouse, 3.2.0-24-generic-pae, 3.2.0-29-generic, x86_64: built
    psmouse, 3.2.0-29-generic-pae, 3.2.0-29-generic, x86_64: installed (WARNING! Diff between built and installed module!)
    psmouse-alps, 0.10, 2.6.38-11-generic, x86_64: built
    The problem with the edge scrolling was not solved, and not only this:
    The middle click on the touchpad stopped working since then.
    What can I do now?
    Thank you in advance.

    Your problem is almost definitely because this is a patch built from the 32bit PAE kernel source and you machine is running a 64bit kernel.

    Only suggestion I have is to remove the patch by following the instructions in post #74.

    EDIT: On second thought it looks like you have an alps touchpad rather than the synaptics this patch is for.

    Yes, you 're right, thank you.
    I' ll remove the patch from Dell and I'll try to find (or start) a different topic concerning the problem with the edge scrolling on Dell touchpad.

    A few minutes ago I tested the same solution ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php...7&postcount=18 ) on my HP Probook 4520s (though it has the 64bit version of Ubuntu 12.04 installed in it).
    In this HP laptop the edge scrolling, as well as the middle click don't work.
    The solution didn't work here again, for some other reason.
    The output on my terminal (starting from step 4, the previous steps have messages in Greek, so you won't understand them) is:

    I think the problem doesn't have to do with 64 bit.
    You can see here that:
    Code:

    , which shows that it was successfully installed.
    What do you think?

    What do you think?
    I don't know any facts related to the different architectures as I've never tried it myself, never compared the source and never tested how DKMS reacts in situations like that.

    Personally I would only recommend this patch for the 32bit PAE kernel.

    ΟΚ.
    For the edge scrolling problem on my Dell laptop (Alps touchpad), the appropriate topic is this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1904605.
    I' ve posted a message there.

    Re: Ubuntu 12.04 lts Hp touchpad right click problem

    Hello

    Thanks !

    Works fine for my HP Mini 210 1020SA

    .....soooo happy to have my right click back

    One thing i did experience was my netbook shutdown at the modprobe -r stage but after it rebooted I just cd'd back to /usr/src and continued to end

    status came back as 'installed' so all good

    Awesome-thanks again.

    Re: Ubuntu 12.04 lts Hp touchpad right click problem

    Using the patch on a 64 bits Sony Vaio 1311, it works!

    2 problems:

    - when you rest your thumb on a button (not clicking), the mousepad is not usable. In Windows this does work.
    - When you click left and have your finger on the right side of the pad, it clicks right. Perhaps make a patch which only detects the button position if area is within the AreaBottomEdge ?

    1. Download the attached file to your computers desktop
    2. sudo apt-get install dkms build-essential
    3. cd ~/Desktop
    4. tar jxvf psmouse-3.2.0-24-generic-pae.tar.bz2
    5. sudo mv psmouse-3.2.0-24-generic-pae /usr/src
    6. cd /usr/src
    7. sudo chmod -R a+rx psmouse-3.2.0-24-generic-pae
    8. sudo dkms add -m psmouse -v 3.2.0-24-generic-pae
    9. sudo dkms build -m psmouse -v 3.2.0-24-generic-pae
    10. sudo dkms install -m psmouse -v 3.2.0-24-generic-pae
    11. sudo modprobe -r psmouse
    12. sudo modprobe psmouse
    13. sudo dkms status

    The output of the last command should look similar to this (with no errors):
    "psmouse, 3.2.0-24-generic-pae, 3.2.0-24-generic-pae, i686: installed"

    No need to restart the computer as the driver is now loaded and the mouse should be working, including the hardware right button.
    Perfect on HP Envy14 12.04LTS! Right, Left, Middle, Drag & Drop.
    Thanks!
