Dell inspiron 1545 alps touchpad sometimes unresponsive

Question

hello guys i have a problems with the touchpad of my dell inspiron 1545 the touchpad its a alps touchpad i already have it recognized with scroll installing the alps touchpad package from the aur, but i have a problem sometimes randomly its unresponsive not recognized my tounch or move alone or its freezing and i need wait for it back to work again.
in windows for fix that issue i need disable the TouchCheck and the Zoom in the alps touchpad settings how can disable it too in archlinux im using kde 4.9 and the lasted drivers and kernel the system its fully update
other problem i have realated to the touchpad its i have two mouse in the same bus:
I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0008 Version=0000
N: Name="PS/2 Mouse"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio2/input1
S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/i8042/serio2/input/input7
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=mouse0 event7
B: PROP=0
B: EV=7
B: KEY=70000 0 0 0 0
B: REL=3
I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0008 Version=7321
N: Name="AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio2/input0
S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/i8042/serio2/input/input8
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=mouse1 event8
B: PROP=0
B: EV=b
B: KEY=420 70000 0 0 0 0
B: ABS=1000003
its this correct?
and im trying to change the settings of the touchpad in the xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf like the arch wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/To … _Touchpads but the settings are not being applied as if ignores this file or settings are using the generic ps2 and not the touchpad, so i think im using the settings of the PS/2 Mouse and not the configuration of the alps touchpad but my touchpad scrolling work.

Answer 1

hello
this its my 10-synaptics.conf
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad catchall"
Driver "synaptics"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "TapButton2" "2"
Option "TapButton3" "3"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse1"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "LeftEdge" "130"
Option "RightEdge" "840"
Option "TopEdge" "130"
Option "BottomEdge" "640"
Option "FingerLow" "7"
Option "FingerHigh" "8"
Option "FingerPress" "256"
Option "MaxTapTime" "0"
Option "MaxTapMove" "0"
Option "EmulateMidButtonTime" "75"
Option "VertScrollDelta" "20"
Option "HorizScrollDelta" "20"
Option "MinSpeed" "1.0"
Option "MaxSpeed" "1.5"
Option "AccelFactor" "0.010"
Option "CircularPad" "1"
Option "PalmDetect" "0"
Option "PalmMinZ" "0"
Option "PalmMinWidth" "0"
EndSection
and yes i complete restart the system but they no take effect i check the synclient and config in the 10-synaptics.conf its not taking effect, im using the mouse1 in the     Option  "Device"   "/dev/input/mouse1" line because its the Handler for the alps touchpad showing in the cat /proc/bus/input/devices
thanks and grettings
