Ubuntu 12.04 lts Hp touchpad right click problem

[AnotherMuggle]

Thanks for getting back to me. It's devided up vertically not horizontally as I first said.

What I'd like ideally is to only have the buttons section devided into left and right buttons (no middle button) and have the rest of the pad as a left button. Failing that just being able to get rid of the middle button would be good. Is there any way to configure how it is devided?

Are you familiar with c programming? If so then modifying the source code in the patch is straightforward, you can diff it against the original kernel source and you will be able to see where my changes are. If not then let me know and I will do a version with no middle button, just left and right buttons.

Thanks for the driver! Works like a charm

how do uninstall this if I wanted to? It did fix the right click issue but the click and drag is much worse for me. I'm on an HP folio 13

Hi sportsdude81,

There are a few fixes in this thread, which one did you use?

Cheers,

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

Thank you for this. It works great on my HP Folio 13 with the slightest of modifications -

For anyone using X86 , it seems you can download this package, rename it to the appropriate version instead of "3.2.0-24-generic-pae" (which you can find by typing uname -a), editing the "PACKAGE_VERSION" in dkms.conf and modifying the above instructions to suit.

As promised I have attached my mouse driver patch for kernel 3.2.0-24-generic-pae. I am using this patch myself but I only just finished tinkering with it so I can't promise anything regarding reliability or whether the patch will work for other people. Hopefully it will help some people out!

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.
