Elantech touchpad synaptics config -Samsung 7 series etc.

Finally with the 3.2 kernel released the touchpad on my Samsung 7 series 700z5a is recognized as a synaptics capable device.
Xinput reports it as ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad. I'm really happy about this! There is though some problems with the default configuration of synaptics, I have been playing around with them for a bit now and would like to share my findings. And I hope that other want to play around with the settings and share them as well.
Currently I have set these settings, all of them necessary for the touchpad to work at all.
FingerLow: 15 //This sets at which pressure it should no longer be recognized as a movement. Default was 25, at least for me.
FingerHigh: 20 //This sets at which pressure t should be counted as a movement. Default was 30.
TapButton1: 1 //Sets which button event should be triggered when tapping the pad with one finger.
These are settings are not fine-tuned, but at least the pad works.
The settings can be set on-the-fly by using synclient, i.e. to set FingerLow to 15:
$ synclient FingerLow=15
Execute synclient without parameters to see a list of current configuration and with -m <interval in ms> to see what the touhpad registers.

I can't scroll in Firefox, I'm using synaptics touchpad on my samsung laptop (...and no already existing suggested solutions in the forums don't work) :(

I've read all the similar forum threads but none solve my issue.
I use win 7 on my samsung series 9 laptop.
Scrolling works fine in both Chrome and IE, but not in Firefox.
I don't have any addons, and I have tried both reseting firefox and reinstalling the browser... none solved my problem.
Beeing able to scroll is key as navigating around in websites is something I do VERY much during an evening... if you cant solve this soon I see no other option but to change to Chrome, wich I really don't want to do :(
I really hope you guys can help me out !!

Thx for suggestion... but it is two fingers on this one, and please note that scrolling works fine in Chrome and IE... the issue seem to be related to Firefox browser in some way.
Hope you guys can help me out :S

ASUS UL30 Elantech touchpad jitter/jumping

I've been running Arch x86_64 for over a year on this laptop, and recently had to send it back for (dropped it). I think they simply replaced the laptop instead of just replacing the shell, so it may actually have a different touchpad or a hardware revision.
Anyhow, the touchpad works, even with two-fingered scrolling and three-finger right click, however I experience cursor 'jitter' and 'jumpiness', even with a single finger completely still.
I tried enabling [testing] and updating everything....that didn't fix it. Does anyone have suggestions for /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf settings? In the past on my other laptops I've never had to configure anything, just simply install xf86-input-synaptics.
It looks like there was a kernel fix in the aur at one point in time, but it's quite old:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24815
Also, it's an Elantech touchpad. Here is the output of dmesg:
dmesg |grep elan
elantech: assuming hardware version 2, firmware version 4.1.1
elantech: Synaptics capabilities query result 0x7e, 0x13, 0x0d.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. This has rendered my touchpad very inaccurate.

I am running [testing], yes. It's working great when your computer is all-intel
I have also never done any config, and I have the same file present.
When I press a finger down it's completely still. It moves like it should, and tap-to-click, two-finger-scroll and two-finger-middle-click is enabled by default and working.
I use gnome, and under mouse settings I have a 'touchpad' tab, but none of the settings seems to work.
Now I may be imagining, but I think that the bug where Elantech touchpad = Logitech mouse is solved. You should try and enable testing repository. I don't know what kernel you are using, but in 2.6.37 it's all good.

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)
info.product = 'PnP Device (ETD0001)' (string)
info.subsystem = 'pnp' (string)
info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pnp_ETD0001' (string)
linux.hotplug_type = 2 (0x2) (int)
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
// I tried to turn off two finger scrolling and event the whole touchpad
// <merge key="input.x11_options.touchpadoff" type="string">1</merge>
// <merge key="input.x11_options.VertTwoFingerScroll" type="string">false</merge>
// <merge key="input.x11_options.HorizTwoFingerScroll" type="string">true</merge>
$ sudo /etc/rc.d/hal restart
Nothing had changed in the touchpad config...
full file:
$ nano /etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-x11-synaptics.fdi
// nano

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...

displaynum=`ps t tty$console | sed -n -re 's,.*/X .*:([0-9]+).*,\1,p'`
if [ x"$displaynum" != x"" ]; then

getXuser

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

Need help on Elantech Touchpad setup

I have an Asus u50 laptop with the elantech touchpad. The features I know of are working fine, the problem is it's too sensitive. I want to disable tapping.
I've read around a bit through Arch's wiki, debian's wiki, and random results around google, but nothing worked so far.
I'm using arch x86_64, kernel 2.6.32-ARCH.
xf86-input-synaptics installed
xf86-input-evdev installed
using hal with autodetect
zcat /proc/config/gz | grep ELANTECH
returns
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_ELANTECH=y
===================
synclient -l
returns empty

Anyone have any ideas?

I got mine working correctly by putting this in /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf:
options psmouse proto=imps
and rebooting.
I mentioned this in another thread, didn't work for the OP, so ymmv
Edit: make sure you have psmouse module loaded - if not add it to your modules array in /etc/rc.conf first
Edit 2: Sorry, didn't read your post properly , please disregard

Elantech Touchpad Detected As PS/2 Elantech Mouse (Dell Vostro 3560)

Dear community,
I am facing troubles with my Dell Vostro 3560's Elantech Touchpad. It gets detected as PS/2 Elantech mouse.
[acs@einherij ~]$ xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ PS/2 Elantech Mouse id=12 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]

↳ Laptop_Integrated_Webcam_E4HD id=10 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=11 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Dell WMI hotkeys id=13 [slave keyboard (3)]
Testwise. I installed from AUR the "psmouse-elantech" package (as mentioned in the Touchpad Synaptics article). After reboot, no effect at all, xinput gives the same output.
Can somebody point me in the correct direction please?

Elantech Touchpad Issue/Confusion on Fresh Install

This machine is an Acer Aspire 5253-BZ660. I use this machine exclusively for running Mixxx (the linux dj application) which I use professionally.
On my first go at trying Arch, everything worked well. I was more than pleased. However I experimented with tweaking various component latencies to improve system performance, and I also tried switching from the open source ati drivers to catalyst. Big mistake because I lost my xserver, and after banging my head for a couple days I decided to do a re-install.
Now I'm pretty much back up--running the open source ati drivers--but for some reason my touchpad is completely unresponsive.
Here is my current Xorg.log:

My problem is staring me right in the face. I can see that udev detects my trackpad, loads synaptics, and reports that everything's cool... but then for some reason it adds teh touchpad again, but this time assigns it to /dev/input/mouse0. It then tries to access the device there, can't find it, and then unloads synaptics...
I've done some searching both here and elsewhere, but haven't found a solution. I've tried both commenting out and deleting the touchpad part of my evdev configuration file. I've even hidden the 10-synaptics* file, which someone found actually stopped udev from doing this.
I am running udev 1.7, and haven't yet downgraded, but I seemed to recall seeing an announcement that this was an issue with the init scripts and that the bug was corrected...
One last thing, my install disc is dated 5-23-11 so it has the core packages that were current at that date. I've only used this disc, but do tend to choose the net packages as my source, so I'm sure this problem stems from something that was updated after 5-23.
Hope someone can help me fix this...
-JLR
p.s. An idea just hit me as a possible workaround. I'm going to check if /dev/input/mouse0 exists, and if it doesn't I guess I could just sim link it to /dev/input/event* and then udev should hopefully access the touchpad despite which path it uses... if that works, cool, but I'd like to get the system running as it's intended. Thanks again.

I'm having the same issue since two nights ago, when I rebooted my laptop. There were some brief errors on one of the DAEMONS, but the init procedure switched to the login screen before I had a chance to read the errors.

Elantech-Y410P-Synaptics+elantech-tp-dkms-Random ClickFinger

I recently got a Lenovo IdeaPad Y410P and have it set up to dual-boot with Windows 8. (On Windows, the Elantech driver, while horrible to configure, works.)
I'm using xf86-input-synaptics and elantech-tp-dkms. I'm configured with the default 50-synaptics.conf and a 60-touchpad.conf containing the following:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
Option "CoastingSpeed" "0"
Option "ClickFinger1" "1"
Option "ClickFinger3" "2"
Option "ClickFinger2" "3"
Option "TapButton1" "0"
Option "TapButton3" "0"
Option "TapButton2" "0"
Option "SoftButtonAreas" "0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0"
Option "SecondarySoftButtonAreas" "0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0"
EndSection
When I click with more than one finger, I get a random press (button 1, 2, or 3) biased somewhat towards its configuration. The evtest output looks perfectly normal and the trackpad shows up as "ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad" in xinput list, as it should. It seems that globally, TapButton2 & TapButton3 and ClickFinger2 & ClickFinger3 are swapped (which makes no sense to me looking at evtest and the proper fingers being registered). When tapping on the default config only, it works perfectly (except for the swapping). I've tried with and without elantech-tp-dkms, but all that happens is that 3 finger detection breaks. I also tried xf86-input-mtrack, but nothing seemed to change.
Any help would be appreciated.

just remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf

X reads first configuration in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d then /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
When you copy 10-evdev.conf file into /etc/X11 you completly override previous system configuration. It's the reason copying synaptics configuration file into /etc/X11 fixes the issue
Defining default system configuration in /etc/X11 with previous xorg was a mistake, now it's fixed.
Wiki should be fixed. It's not a packaging bug, but a configuration bug.
@lordheavy
I agree with you that the new xf86-input-synaptics package is using the right configuration scheme, however it is breaking the functionality on every installed system. It was a packaging bug, which is now fixed, but it has to be handled manually by most users of previous versions. That's why I won't re-open the bug report FS#41589. Instead, I am asking here: shouldn't this change be notified to the users just like it has been done for most breaking changes on archlinux frontpage news?
By the way, thanks for your great work.

Which kernel modules are needed for Elantech touchpad?

I've compiled a very minimal kernel for my system, which works just fine, I get booted into XFCE etc. and the keyboard works in the virtual consoles, but my (Elantech) touchpad does not function. Here is the lsmod from the standard kernel where the touchpad does work:

I've activated serio_raw and psmouse in the kernel, but what am I overlooking thats preventing the touchpad to work?
Last edited by HyperBaton (2008-03-09 15:00:32)

need to bump this thread i guess.
i also have a elantech touchpad on my zepto 3215w, and ive found this: http://arjan.opmeer.net/elantech/
the only available driver for elantech touchpads for linux.
i have kernel 2.6.25-arch now, also heard theres a 2.6.26 up n coming. can this patch be implemented in these kernels in some way?
and i dont know anything about kernel stuff so.. a helping hand would be nice on how to do it if its possible.

Time Capsule e Samsung serie 9000 con modem alice

Salve, ho acquistato una TC da 2 Tb, l'ho collegata in modalità bridge al mio modem alice, adesso vorrei che il mio televisore Samsung serie 9000 la leggesse per poter vedere video, foto, etc su di essa. Come fare?

I would suggest you visit an Apple dealer, preferably an Apple Store if there's one in your city, and ask for assistance in determining what you need. The questions and issues you bring up are rather complex to address in a technical support forum and would be better addressed in person where you and the salesperson can ask questions back and forth to arrive at the optimal setup.
Regards.

Samsung -Series 7 NP700Z5C

I am looking at the Samsung Series 7 NP700Z5C as a replacement for my current laptop.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Samsung+-+1 … Id=5575679
Some of the specs are as below:
Intel® Core™ i7-3615QM Processor
8GB DDR3 Memory
1TB HDD with ExpressCache Technology, 8GB(I believe this is a 8 GB SSD on the motherbord)
NVIDIA GeForce GT 640 M Graphics
I would like to know if anyone here has this laptop and whether everything works ok, if not what did you need to tweak to get things started?
Here are a few questions i have:
- How long dose the battery last for?
- Can I run the Intel 4000 graphics processor inbuilt in the processor instead of the NVIDIA card to save on battery performance?
- Can I mount the 8GB SSD as a /boot or a swap partition?
- I've heard a lot of complaints of similar laptops lacking multi-touch trackpad support on some kernel versions, dose the stock arch kernel include support for this?
Love to hear from anyone who has one of these laptops and thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.

I have the previous NP700Z5A model of that laptop and so far am pretty happy with it. The main difference is the older generation CPU and a ATI video card.
- Battery life is pretty good 4-5 hours without anymore tweaking then installing the samsung-tools packages from the AUR (Windows gets 7-8 hours when not using the discrete graphics)
- I have not managed to get the ATI video card working and have to blacklist it's module to turn it off for power savings (The intel video card provides decent performance though)
- Must install samsung-tools for many of the powersaving features to work (also allows the multimedia keys to work)
- I have not tried to use the 8 GD SSD in linux yet but it appears as a normal drive so I would think it should work
- The elan touchpad works great including multi-touch support but does require additional setup to get working correctly (there is a guide on the wiki)

How do I connect my Samsung Series 8000 plasma tv to my 27" imac

How do I connect my Samsung Series 8000 plasma tv to my 27" imac (2.8 GHz Intel Core i7) to use as a display?

Here you go (no financial or other interest in this web site or company):
http://www.kanexlive.com/iadapt51
I believe we have the same model of iMac (late 2009) in which unfortunately Apple did not provide audio signals in the mini-DisplayPort out port. This Kanex adapter will pick up your audio as well as the DisplayPort signal and combine them in an HDMI signal that you plug into the Samsung HDTV.

Mini Mac + DVI - VGA + Samsung Serie 6 40 inch

Hey peeps,
Now this is my proplem:
I have connected my Mini Mac with (VGA) the Samsung Serie 6. When I start the system up,I get the white screen with the logo of Apple and the running circle. When he's done loading the screen goes black with a message the cable is not wright. But he gives the startup screen???
Does someone know a solution for this problem ?
Many thanks
Hope you guys can help me !

I can't solve your entire problem, but I can give you a piece or two of the answer:
1) If you hold down the Shift key during startup, you should boot into "safe mode". This "safe mode" should be able to put a non-black picture up on your TV. It won't be pretty, but at least you can then use the Mac to do trouble-shooting.
2) Your TV is probably not successfully transmitting its identity through the VGA-DVI converter to the Mac. Hopefully if you go to System Preferences > Displays, you will be able to enter display settings that will work.
3) If this doesn't work, you may have to use a special utility like SwitchXRes to set up a custom "timing" for you TV and Mac. (Can't help you there.) The posts of BSteely will be useful in learning about this:

Though I'm not sure how "compatible" AMDs CPU/GPU combo chips actually are. There could be issues nobody is aware of...
