Configuring the Touchpad on Lenovo G555

I got my new G555 yesterday and love it except for one thing: I have no way to configure the **bleep** touchpad. If I look under Mouse, there is nothing. I've even downloaded drivers from the 3000 V100 (which is the laptop I had before this one), but that was a handicapped version of its usual self. I need to adjust its sensitivity, as my thumb always hits it while I type and destroys whatever I'm writing. I can't even just turn on the click function on it. I can't do anything.
Does anyone have a solution? The drivers for the G555 are useless.
Thanks!

I HATE tap to click but I deleted all of the Lenovo stuff first thing after I turned the computer on. I found this page that had people looking for something like I was so I figured I would share the solution that worked for me.
I found an Alps Pointing Device driver on Cnet's website. There are three drivers in the pack, two for Synapsis and one for Alps. I used the Alps one and the mouse settings now display options for configuring tap to click as well as enabling/disabling scrolling on the touch pad. Good luck.

Where are the left and right action buttons on the touchpad on the HP ENVY 17t Quad TouchSmart

My new HP ENVY 17t Quad TouchSmart laptop has a touchpad, but no left or right action buttons. How do I simulate their action. Apparently a single tap simulates a left click, but how do I get a right click? How do I drag a cell in a spreadsheet (to copy it) using the touchpad? I may have to end up using a mouse.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I believe that model features a ClickPad, which doesn't have distinct left/right-click buttons but does have left/right-click areas where the buttons would normally be. See Using and Configuring the ClickPad for more info.

USB 3.0 expressCard for Lenovo G555

Hello,
is it possible to connect a usb 3.0 ExpressCard to my Lenovo G555?
thank you!

hi giordan31,
Welcome to the Forums.
Yes it's possible to connect a USB 3.0 ExpressCard adapter if you have the G555 with expresscard slot. You may also want to check this review as it list PRO's and CON's of using this type of adapter.

Lenovo G555 0873 Insyde BIOS before NAWA1110.exe

Hi,
I've got a Lenovo G555 - 2gb - AMD M320 cpu - HD4200 gfx - 500gb and was wondering if there were any savvy owners (unlike me) who figured out how to backup their BIOS before upgrading it. I upgraded the BIOS, and crashes became unbearable, recovery attempts fail with blue screen or justs hangs after progress bar in the beginning. I even tried installing fresh with new windows 7 disks which also failed, either blue screen during start. The funny thing is hirens windows mini-xp works without a problem, and can run memory diagnostics all night (no problems reported, by the way)
I believe it may be because it doesn't load drivers and/or rely on advance hardware features that normal operating systems check for. I must add even linux fails soon after/during checking of PCI features since you can see linux boot process in text form.
Sorry to throw out a lot of assumptions but if anyone does have a copy of the BIOS before the one listed on Lenovo website it would be worth trying. (can I even flash in windows in a windows live CD?)
Thanks for any technical advise,
(I did phone lenovo tech support who were friendly enough but said older BIOS versions are not available)
# UPDATE
# Sent the computer back under warranty and they replaced the processor.
# Everything has been working has normal since then.
# I am now a happy bunny.

Lenovo g555 BIOS Corruption

Tried to turn on my Lenovo G555 this morning, but all i got was the sound of the cpu fan for about 3 seconds and no display.
From reading this forum i suspect the problem is with the CMOS and BIOS. I believe if i could reset the cmos the laptop would boot up. Any Suggestions ???
P.S I have tried removing all hardware ie. Ram, Hdd, Wlan card ect...

Hi robzombie24,
Thanks for posting and welcome to the Lenovo Community,
Am sorry to hear about the issue that you’re facing,
And I’d like to advise you to turn off the machine and connect the charger and unplug the battery,
Then please press and hold on the power button for 10 seconds and after that you can plug in in the battery and turn on the machine and then check the display,
If still the same please connect an external monitor back and check the display on the external monitor. (FN+F3 to change the display to the external monitor)
Hope the information helps. Let us know.
Regards
Soha

An unexpected error occurred while configuring the Network Bridge

Windows XP Pro SP2, a new TP61 6460 6WG, all Win updates, all Lenovo updates.
Everything works fine except... when I'm trying to create a network bridge I always get the following: An unexpected error occurred while configuring the Network Bridge.
This is not the situation described in Microsoft's Knowledge Base KB309640 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309640/en-us). I have no ICS, no ICF.
Any ideas?

I had the same problem and was really frustrated. I was about to pull my hairs out but then i was finally able to solve it. The solution is deleting some files of WMI repository. The complete details can be found on my blog http://cheatppc.blogspot.com/2008/07/unexpected-error-has-occured-while.html
Hope this solves the problem.

Where is the "\" character on the touchpad of a Laserjet mfp M177fw

I just want to configure my wifi connection so I need to enter my network password. Problem is there is no backslash character "\" on the touchpad and this character is part of the network password !!
On the touchpad we see or have access to three groups of characters. There is a slash "/" with the group of alphabetical characters and an another slash "/" in the group of special characters but I have not found the backslash anywhere.
Because this the only machine not able to connected to the network I dont want to reconfigure the network interface.
Would be happy If you have a solution...

Hi @Brisson ,
I see by your post that you would like to be able to put in the \ in the password. I can help you.
I checked on the display of the printer and the only options for characters are under the @#$, which doesn't provide the \.
You would unfortunately have to change the password, if you are setting up the network through the control panel.
You can turn the Wireless Direct on and connect to that network, then setup the wireless from the printer's Embedded Web Server.
Under Network Setup, Wireless Menu, Wireless Direct, turn it on.
Connect to the printer's network and from a web browser type in the IP address (192.168.223.1) for the printer in the address bar. Click on the Networking tab, select Wireless on the left and fill in your information.
Then connect back to your network name again.
I have seen some models won't recognize special characters or spaces when setting up the network, with this being a newer model it should be fine. (@! #/)
Have a nice day!

Help configuring Elantech touchpad

Hi,
I've an Elantech touchpad identified as this:
$lshal
udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pnp_ETD0001'
info.linux.driver = 'i8042 aux' (string)
info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer' (string)

linux.subsystem = 'pnp' (string)
linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/pnp0/00:05' (string)
pnp.id = 'ETD0001' (string)
It works but I cant figure out how to configure it.
I used the hal fdi config file as described in the wiki, but after hal restart (and also after reboot) the settings are not taken into account.
BTW the kcontrol touchpad settings management is not configurable (buttons are grey and no way to tick or click)
If someone has the same device and know about configuring it, please tell!!
Here ise the method I used :
$ sudo cp /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/11-x11-synaptics.fdi /etc/hal/fdi/policy/
$ sudo nano /etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-x11-synaptics.fdi

// <merge key="input.x11_options.HorizTwoFingerScroll" type="string">true</merge>
$ sudo /etc/rc.d/hal restart
Nothing had changed in the touchpad config...

Well, it doesn't work anymore. Running the commands which determine the value of XINPUTNUM and TPSTATUS works just perfect, which leads me to think that getXconsole is broken...

was the culprit. " tty$console" should be " tty $console".

Configuring Synaptics touchpad (new Xorg again)

Hi
I'm one of those who upgraded to the latest Xorg recently. Now I can't figure out how to configure my touchpad scrolling.
I don't have hal running (but only dbus).
I have all the default Xorg config files intact (10-evdev, 10-quirks, 10-synaptics).
I have added a file called 20-conf.conf:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "DontZap" "false"
EndSection
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad catchall"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
Driver "synaptics"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Option "EmulateWheel" "true"
Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false"
Option "XAxisMapping" "6 7"
Option "YAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "tap-by-default"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
Option "TapButton1" "1"
EndSection
Xorg.0.log seems fine except for the following:
[ 32.158] Query no Synaptics: 6003C8
[ 32.158] (--) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: no supported touchpad found

Now I'm stuck! Please, help...
