HP Mini 210 touchpad right click not working

[daigorobr]

Thanks, at times like this I really miss the thanks button. any idea if it works on 10.04?

Every time I used a 10.04-based system (Mint, Ubuntu, UNR) in my 210, it worked OOTB. The only catch is that the height of the button area is smaller than it should, but our frend up there has the hack for it.

None of those worked for me either. I've got a hp 210-1000, this is the output from the terminal when i tried the source code edit option, i'm using ubuntu 10.04 64bit:-

Hi samfraser,

You said you are using 64bit, but you have a hp 210-1000? Is this correct? If you have the exact same version as me (32bit) then I could just send you the compiled module to test.


Even though our kernel versions are the same, the line numbers in your error messages do not appear to correspond to the line numbers in my source files. I suspect you have a typing error in your source code, but in addition to this there may be other errors.

I suggest you send me your entire

/home/samfraser/linux-source-2.6.32/drivers/input/mouse

directory as a zip file so I can see exactly what the source code looks like.

In the meantime, I suggest you try following John Baptist's post again http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php...0&postcount=54
If you can get this to work, it may be all you need.

Guys, can sombeody overcome this issue on Maverick?...

[ljrmorgan]

I haven't had any luck with it. I don't know where the problem lies - is the relevant patch in the kernel? If so, is it just that the device isn't recognised properly? Has the relevant patch to X been applied?

I haven't mucked around with kernels before, so I don't know where to start.

[masterblah777]

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

I found this on the Debian Wiki:

http://wiki.debian.org/SynapticsTouchpad



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?

After following these instructions I was able to get the vertical scrolling working on my HP mini 311 with alps touch pad. I am unable to use 2-finger-scrolling however.

THANK YOU!!!! This was just what I was looking for. It worked!! If someone figures out how to make this permanent (without having to execute everytime one reboots) I will change the status of the thread as solved.

Not working for ubuntu 10.04.
:~$ synclient TapButton2=3 HorizTwoFingerScroll=1 VertTwoFingerScroll=1 EmulateTwoFingerMinZ=29 EmulateTwoFingerMinW=5 JumpyCursorThreshold=200
Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?
Instructions on Page 1 fixed normal working of my touchpad. Scrolling/Multitouch is not working.

John Baptist's instructions as per that post do not work for me on my pavilion dm3, which uses a similar trackpad and encounters similar problems.

I am running 10.10 and out of the box the touchpad exhibits the same erratic behavior described by users running 9.10 and under.

The psmouse hack from the first page or so of this thread will make right click work again but not everything else.

If anyone else is running 10.10 and has a solution to get the touchpad working as it does under windows it would be much appreciated.

[ACol]

note: I moved the file minus the .txt to /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d as this is where the relevant directory is in 10.10.

[mapkar]

To get the trackpad working correctly you need to use the terminal and enter in the below commands. Make sure you press enter after each command:

sudo su

echo options psmouse proto=exps > /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.modprobe

reboot

Once the computer reboots your trackpad will be able to do left click and drag and right clicking.

how can this be undone?
