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.

Y510P Synaptic Touch Driver Problem with win 8.1

Under warranty my Y510P Elan touchpad was replaced with a Synaptics and now will randomly not register a tap until taped 3 times. After the 3 tap it works fine again for a while then repeats the cycle over and over. After many tech suport calls it was sent in, twice, and sent back with no repairs made. They push the one button recovery and ship it back.
They told me that the system is set up for Windows 8.0 and not 8.1 so it's driver is the problem and when Synaptics updates it's driver all will be well. After a call to Synaptics I was informed that it's not an issue with 8.1 because it's the same as 8.0 as far as there touch pad and driver were concerned. This thing was not cheep and has turned out to be such a boat anchor.

The y510p has a whole range of issues, it has een discontinued, Im having a lot of problems with mine as well. Lenovo should atleast help out owners who bought this $900+ laptop.

Eeepc 1000H and elantech/synaptics result in no tapping

Hi,
since an update some days ago my touchpad isn't working anymore the way I want it. I use an uptodate archlinux and a custom compiled 2.6.31.5 kernel. I have no xorg.conf and this is my 11-x11-synaptics.fdi :

The behavior now is: scrolling works the way I want it but tapping doesn't work at all. I have to start the gsynaptics gui to make tapping work but gsynaptics-settings aren't remembered when I reboot. Also executing gsynaptics-init with gnome doesn't solve that problem.
How can I make tapping work again by default, so I don't have to execute gsynaptics after each boot and activate it?
greetings

I have an eeepc 1000h with standard install, I did the upgrade to kernel 2.6.31.
now my touchpad has no tapping, neither three fingers scrolling. the weird thing is that the right side of the touchpad is working like a scrolling wheel...
Also the tapping is working when I select my session or user in GDM, and afterwards it's gone, kaput, finito...
sorry im not bringing any solution, but as we are in more or less the same situation...

Elantech clickpad not handled by synaptics

My Acer s7 has an Elantech clickpad that was, at one point, using synaptics, and edge scroll and such worked properly. It stopped doing that a day after, for no apparent reason (no upgrades or configuration changes). Attempted reinstalling xf86-input-synaptics, no effect.
Currently some features work, apparently handled by evdev, but most advanced ones don't. The psmouse-elantech appears to make no difference in how the device is detected (i.e. a generic evdev pointer).
It's been a long time since I had to play around with Xorg configuration. As far as I can tell, the synaptics.conf entries should match the device, since they have a fairly generic match on any /dev/input/event*, which includes this device.
Relevant dmesg. There's a touchscreen as well, which also sorta works, but that I don't really care about.

[ 9640.295] (II) UnloadModule: "synaptics"
So I guess synaptics is no longer able to handle it properly? How could that have changed without changing the synaptics/kernel versions?

Nope:
property 'Synaptics ClickPad' doesn't exist, you need to specify its type and format
property 'Synaptics Soft Button Areas' doesn't exist, you need to specify its type and format
Do those need the synaptics driver loaded? Nothing is even triggering Xorg to load it at the moment, since nothing has the IsTouchpad property (set by udev, I think?).
Also, should the device be detected as an ETPS/2 device, rather than PS/2? I changed the script to reflect the latter, but I'm not sure if that's important.

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.

Synaptics Update breaks Elantech on eeePC ?

Hi,
I upgraded the synaptics package this morning and have to report that it seems to break the elantech-driver?
Using the touch-pad is terrible slow, also adjusting it with gsynaptiics doesn't work. Tabbing and Scrolling don't wortk either. Anyone knows what the problem here is? Maby we ccan work out a fix for it.
I compiled the elantech driver firm into the vanilla kernel 2.6.27.7 and before the upgrade of synaptics this morning everything worked fine. So something happened with this upgrade.

Elantech synaptics touchpad driver doesn't work properly for G570 on Win8

Hello, i got G570 laptop, at first i had Win 7 installed in it, i downloaded the touch pad driver for my laptop to use the scrolling feature of touch pad and it worked fine. Now i upgraded my OS to Win 8 and so i download and installed the touchpad driver for Win 8. The problem i am facing is that the scrolling feature no longer work on Win 8. Please suggest me a solution

I am having the same exact problem on my G580. Everything funtions perfectly in desktop mode, but in any metro app or the start screen scrolling does not work.

Y410p windows 10 elantech touchpad driver missing most multi tap gestures and options

I upgraded to Windows 10 and driver-wise everything is fine except for the touchpad driver. The only options available are click, zoom and point. In windows 8 I could add gestures for two, tree, 4 finger touch. The tray icon actually detects the multitouch but the software doesn't show the options to map the actions.

I would like to know the solution to this as well.

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.

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

/etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-x11-synaptics.fdi

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

Hal config for Elantech/Eee 1000h touchpad?

I've tried using the one that's in the 901-install Wiki page, and find it massively flakey (sorry no offense to anyone), compared to using xorg.conf.. It doesn't allow precise control at all, and for some reason (I'm sure it's the way I move my finger), seems to really jump up or down when I move side to side..
So does anyone have a config for this that works real good, that cares to share?
Thanks in advance.

I know this problem occurs when I compile the elantech driver in the PS2/trackpoint driver:
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_TRACKPOINT=y
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_ELANTECH=y
I was told you need the latest xf86-input-synaptics but Arch has the latest...
My workaround was to disable elantech:
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_TRACKPOINT=y
# CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_ELANTECH is not set

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)]

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.

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...

getXconsole() {

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

Kernel26 2.6.28-3: Keyboard and touchpad (elantech) broken

Hi,
after upgrading to the new kernel, my Elantech touchpad doesn't work anymore. I guess that is the same problem like here
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=63150
The other problem is much worse:
The keyboard stops working after some minutes. I couldn't figure out a pattern, sometimes it fails after logging in, sometimes it works for 30 minutes. It always failed some minutes after starting the X-Server. I log in on tty1 and start x manually, but as I said, the keyboard sometimes stops working even before starting X, so it can't have to do anything with xorg.
Searching through all the logfiles, I couldn't find anything interesting concerning the keyboard.
Meanwhile I downgraded to 2.6.27.9-1 and everything's fine again.
Has anyone similar problems?
[edit]
I'm running Arch i686 on an Acer Aspire 5502 WXMi
[edit2]
Unlike all the Eeepcs, i have an old "hardware version 1" touchpad.

It looks like the problem is caused by the psmouse-module. I found a workaround to restore (more or less) the behavior of 2.6.27:
Adding the following line to /etc/modprobe.conf
options psmouse proto=exps
and rebooting or doing "modprobe -r psmouse" and "modprobe psmouse" makes the kernel recognize the touchpad as a normal mouse (with working vertical-scrolling and multi-finger-taps, just as before). Then I get
[thomas@tommi ~]$ cat /proc/bus/input/devices
I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0005 Version=0000
N: Name="ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio4/input0
S: Sysfs=/class/input/input11
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=mouse2 event8
B: EV=7
B: KEY=70000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
B: REL=103
instead of
[thomas@tommi ~]$ cat /proc/bus/input/devices
I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=000e Version=0000
N: Name="ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio4/input0
S: Sysfs=/class/input/input15
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=mouse2 event8
B: EV=f
B: KEY=6420 0 70000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
B: REL=3
B: ABS=3
After that, on my external USB-mouse the wheel wasn't working, but after removing all mouse-entries from xorg.conf and using input-hotplugging it works for the moment.
