Synaptics Touchpad Tap Lag, FastTaps Option Gone

I own an Asus Zenbook Prime UX31A with a clickpad. Under the Synaptics driver, I'm trying to use tap-to-click. With the default settings, there is a very noticeable lag between when I tap and the tap is registered, which I'm sure many of you have heard of and fixed by now. Usually, I just set FastTaps to true, and everything's great. However, in the latest version of xf86-input-synaptics, FastTaps is missing. I can set "SingleTapTimeout" to 0, which does make tapping instant, but then the tap-and-drag gesture is impossible (tapping twice and dragging on the second one). Is there some way to set equivalent functionality to FastTaps in the latest Synaptics?

First off, I'd like to thank you for pushing me to figure out the problem myself and not telling me the answer; I understand that I shouldn't rely on others to solve all of my Linux problems. However, I have already done as you've told me; I have read and searched through the man page for any relevant information regarding FastTaps and taps in general; I've tried playing with various values for SingleTapTimeout, MaxDoubleTapTime, MaxTapTime, ClickTime, etc. So, I think I have good reason to believe that either the solution isn't obvious or I am really ignorant or something. I know it's probably just as, if not more, frustrating to see someone unable to fix a simple touchpad issue on the forums as it is for me trying to fix it, but could you please help me out a little?

Synaptics Touchpad Tap Scroll settings changed back to defaults on every reboot. Windows 10

After the Windows 10 upgrade my Synaptics Touchpad setings seem to be reset to factory defaults on every reboot. I go in and change to deselect Tap and Scroll gesture options, save, and everything works as expected. If I reboot my pc... all of my changes are erased. I go to Start >Settings > Mouse and Touchpad > Additional Mouse Options > Device Settings > Settings Right after boot: MultiFinger Gestures (selected) Scrolling (deselected) Tapping (selected) Buttons (selected) After change manually and saved:
MultiFinger Gestures (deselected) Scrolling (deselected) Tapping (deselected) Buttons (selected) Rebooted again... and back to initial defaults (Arg!!!) Can anyone suggest a fix?

Hello! I just wanted to share a solution to this issue. I've been having this issue ever since I started the Windows 10 insider program so it's sad that Microsoft didn't fix it before release. Anyway let's get started! The first thing you will want to do is uninstall the Synaptics Driver. Right click on the start button and click programs and features. Find the Synaptics Pointing Device Driver and uninstall it. You will eventually need to restart your PC but do not do that yet otherwise it will just reinstall itself. Next your going to want to Hide the update from Windows Update. To do this on Windows 10 you need to download a tool which can be found here. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3073930 Run the tool it will begin detecting problems and searching for updates. You will get two options, Hide Updates or Show hidden updates. Click on Hide updates and on the list you will see the Synaptics Driver, place a checkmark on it and then click next. Let the wizard finish and you've successfully hidden the Synaptics pointing device driver. Next open settings and click on Update & security, click recovery on your left, and then click restart now under advanced startup. Next click on troubleshoot. Then at the choose an option screen, click advanced options, click on startup settings, and click restart. Once your computer restarts you'll see startup settings. Press the number 7 to disable driver signature enforcement. Your computer will now boot up. Login and open your web browser and go to this link http://www.synaptics.com/en/drivers.php Download the latest synaptic's driver for Windows 8 and install it. Once installed, you maybe prompted to reboot so go ahead and reboot the computer. After that, go into your mouse settings and configure your touchpad to your liking. You will not have to worry about losing your settings after restarting the pc anymore. I suggest keeping the tool that allows you to hide or show hidden updates as it is quite handy.
Summary:
1.) Uninstall the Synaptics Driver
2.) Hide the Driver Update for Synaptics using this tool: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3073930
3.) Go to Settings, Update & security, recovery, advanced start [restart now]
4.) Click troubleshoot, advanced options, startup settings [restart now]
5.) Press the number 7 to disable driver signature enforcement
6.) Download the latest synaptic's driver for Windows 8 from the website. http://www.synaptics.com/en/drivers.php
7.) Reboot the computer if necessary.
8.) Configure your mouse settings to your liking.

How to disable TouchPad 'tap to click' on Equium A200-15L under Vista

Until mid-December I had the Synaptics Touchpad 'tap to click' disabled. Then it somehow became enabled , the right-click menu item to change it greyed out and the mouse properties, settings etc contain no reference to it. It has been suggested that Windows Updates somehow interfered. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling touchpad drivers both directly from Synaptics and from the Toshiba site, but it hasn't helped. Apart from using the recovery disk and reformatting what can I do?
Toshiba Equium A200 15L Laptop (PSAE2E). Windows Vista Home Premium.

Hi Juliana
I have read also about the Vista updates which could affect the touchpad settings for me it sound very mysterious
I thought about the same touchpad driver reinstallation procedure.
But it looks like this doesnt help to get the click functions back.
I think the recovery CD would be the last resort.
Good luck

I have the same problem, my workaround is setting the options with synclient executed automatically on login.

"Tap to tweet" and "tap to post" options have gone in my notification centre

I have the iPhone 5 and I noticed when I first had it that I did have the "tap to tweet" and "tap to post" options in my notification centre but they've somehow gone and I'm not sure why this is. Somehow the "share widget" option isn't in my notification section of settings either because apparently that's how you turn it back on! Somebody please help???

Check Settings App > Notifications. Then scroll down to Locate the ShareWidget. The Twitter and FaceBook aps also have to be turned on (in general, but not in Notifications).
After checking eh settings, if you still do not have those options, Ttry a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

Issues with Fn-keys and Synaptics touchpad on Asus X51RL laptop

Hello,
Since I installed Arch on my laptop, it's been working great. But I still have a few issues:
1) Fn-keys do not work. The brightness Fn-keys work, but I think that's done internally by the laptop, since it works even in the BIOS. The sound Fn-keys don't work, which is the ones I really need. How can I fix this? And I read somewhere that I have to switch from the kbd drivers to the evdev driver, is that true?
2) Since the latest update to the synaptics package in testing, the touchpad lost one-touch tapping, along with some other stuff. I know the solution is to disable hotplugging, but I sometimes need to plug in a keyboard or mouse, so I can't. How can I retain the scrolling and one-touch tapping settings from Xorg.conf AND hotplugging while using the latest synaptics?
3) The pre-configured options for the synaptics touchpad in the archwiki are good, but not that accurate. The size of the scrolling section of the touchpad is a bit too large, among other things. It's a minor problem compared to the others, but it'd be nice to fix it. In Windows, I definitely remember the settings being more accurate. Is there a way to have the Synaptics driver autodetect like the Windows one, or am I missing something here?
Thanks a lot in advance!

I have the S62J (Intel verified whatnot version) with this Asus, the brightness keys work. I think they are hard wired though as they work in the BIOS.
I tried the acpi-support, but I haven't had any luck with it yet. I'll have to mess with it some more to see if I'm missing something.
I'm also wondering if there isn't a different keyboard layout I should use. I notice that there is a 30-something-asus-something.fdi (I'm not on the notebook at the moment) on the system, but I don't know if it's being used by anything.
The other observation is that using the Fn button is throwing ACPI calls into my dmesg.log file. I need to research to find out how to use them.

Ah ha! Thanks, I'll give that a shot when I get back to my office. Thanks too Andy, if all else fails I may have to go with hal/xorg, but I'm leaving that as a last resort.
Update: That worked great, thanks again ichbinesderelch!

Xorg not registering synaptics touchpad

Hi, I'm having an odd problem here. Every so often when I boot my netbook (Acer aspire one 110) my touchpad loses all it's settings. The xorg log shows this

This error seems to happen at random. Anyone know what's going on?

Actually I've already tried the wiki solution. I don't want the hotplugging or whatever it is called to be on. That's why I disabled it in the xorg.conf. Afaik xorg should use the previous configuration of everything then, but touchpad does not work properly though. However, when I enabled this f***ing hotplugging and copied the fdi files to the directories listed on wiki (as well as to 10osvendor) the X become unstable and furhtermore tapping and scrolling did not function as well. I'm confused...
EDIT: Thanks Nepherte -> tapping works could you paste here your xorg.conf and fdi, or at least these parts concerning synaptics?
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
EndSection
Do you have this option in xorg.conf? Without it my keyboard "goes mad" and I am to lazy to search for fdi config files (Polish layout) for hal to manage keyboard by hotplugging

[SOLVED] synaptics no tap click.

I cannot get tapping to work on my touchpad, at least at each restart of X, tapping is lost until I launch gsynaptics and check the box again It become unchecked when I logout.

Suggests that it has taken effect and 1-3 fingers tapping SHOULD be enabled, but no. I still have to manually run gsynaptics and check that box on tapping.
Any suggestions?

You are using hal, and it is running, right? I only ask because of the buzz over Xorg 1.8 and the impending demise of hal.

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
[ 32.158] (EE) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad Unable to query/initialize Synaptics hardware.
[ 32.197] (EE) PreInit failed for input device "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
[ 32.197] (II) UnloadModule: "synaptics"
Now I'm stuck! Please, help...

[SOLVED] Hotplugging Synaptics touchpad does not work

Hey there,
I tried to hotplug my touchpad with X.org/HAL but to no avail :(
Here's my /etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-x11-synaptics.fdi:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.product" contains="ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad">
<append key="info.capabilities" type="strlist">input.touchpad</append>
</match>
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.touchpad">
<merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">synaptics</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton1" type="string">1</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton2" type="string">3</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton3" type="string">2</merge>


</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
However, lshal doesn't show that my touchpad's input.x11_driver = 'synaptics' thus X.org doesn't recognise it:
udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX_port_logicaldev_input'
info.capabilities = {'input', 'input.touchpad'} (string list)
info.category = 'input' (string)
info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX_port' (string)
info.product = 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad' (string)
info.subsystem = 'input' (string)
info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX_port_logicaldev_input' (string)
input.device = '/dev/input/event7' (string)
input.originating_device = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX_port' (string)
input.product = 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad' (string)
linux.device_file = '/dev/input/event7' (string)
linux.hotplug_type = 2 (0x2) (int)
linux.subsystem = 'input' (string)
linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input7/event7' (string)
I'm at a loss about how to solve this and I've disabled hotplugging as a temporary though not optimal measure. Someone help me :(

T400s synaptics touchpad driver for windows 7 64 bit

I can't find a driver for:
t400s synaptics touchpad driver for windows 7 64 bit
I looked on the Lenovo site under t400s
Any Help on this? I really like the touchpad but I want to turn off tapping and make some other adjustments.
Thanks,
Bill

I'm sure bananaman meant on the Win7 Beta OS download site.

Xorg 7.4 + Synaptics Touchpad

I'm having a hard time getting my touchpad to work. At the moment only moving the mouse with my touchpad works. Tapping, scrolling and everything else doesn't.
cat /proc/bus/input/devices:
I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0008 Version=7321
N: Name="AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio1/input0

H: Handlers=mouse4 event11
B: EV=f
B: KEY=420 70000 0 0 0 0
B: REL=3
B: ABS=1000003
My old xorg synaptics input section looked like this:
Section "ServerLayout"
InputDevice "Synaptics Touchpad" "AlwaysCore"
EndSection
Section "Module"
Load "synaptics"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "synaptics"
Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "SHMConfig" "off"
EndSection
I installed the package xf86-input-synaptics and copied the synaptics fdi file from /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/ to /etc/hal/fdi/policy/. The current synaptics fdi file (where only moving the mouse works) is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

</deviceinfo>
Any help is appreciated.
P.S. The laptop is a Sony Vaio SZ61. I'm not sure if it helps but the sample configuration files from the wiki page http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Tou … _7.3_users when I was using Xorg 7.3 didn't give me tapping or scrolling either (only the one I posted did)

Actually I've already tried the wiki solution. I don't want the hotplugging or whatever it is called to be on. That's why I disabled it in the xorg.conf. Afaik xorg should use the previous configuration of everything then, but touchpad does not work properly though. However, when I enabled this f***ing hotplugging and copied the fdi files to the directories listed on wiki (as well as to 10osvendor) the X become unstable and furhtermore tapping and scrolling did not function as well. I'm confused...
EDIT: Thanks Nepherte -> tapping works could you paste here your xorg.conf and fdi, or at least these parts concerning synaptics?
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
EndSection
Do you have this option in xorg.conf? Without it my keyboard "goes mad" and I am to lazy to search for fdi config files (Polish layout) for hal to manage keyboard by hotplugging

[Solved]Synaptics Touchpad not working at all on Fujitsu Siemens UH552

Hi,
I have just installed Arch on my Fujitsu Siemens UH552 laptop. Everything works except for the touchpad which seems to get loaded by Xorg, but when in X it doesn't work. I have tried both using /dev/input/event* and /dev/input/mouse0 as device paths, neither works.
xf86-input-evdev and xf86-input-synaptics are installed.
I have tried running both with the default 10-evdev.conf, with 10-synaptics.conf, with both, and without both.
TLDR SOLUTION: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 3#p1189603
My current 10-synaptics.conf:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Touchpad Catchall"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "TapButton2" "2"
Option "TapButton3" "3"

psmouse serio1: bad data from KBC - timeout
Last edited by flako (2012-11-08 09:44:59)

I have tried doing that with both linux mint, and now fedora live usb. Neither one loads the touchpad correctly. So yeah, our problems weren't really related
Anyway, I tried looking into the
psmouse serio1: bad data from KBC - timeout
messages, and tried running psmouse proto (defined in /etc/modprobe.conf/psmouse.conf) as both raw and imps as per https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s … ion/206950 Unfortunately, that didn't solve anything. Using the raw setting meant that the touchpad wasn't loaded at all (as in not appearing in the Xorg.log at all).
The laptop is quite new, but at the same time what i figured from the touchpad vendor & product ID, the touchpad itself isn't. So it should technically work. Before installing arch i booted into windows to see if everything worked, and found no issues with the touchpad. So I have ruled out any hardware errors. Maybe its just the Fn-key that doesn't work yet in Linux? But that doesn't explain the "psmouse serio1: bad data from KBC - timeout" Any pointers to where I should look/ what commands I should run to delve deeper into this issue?

I just wanted to chime in here on the Synaptics Touchpad issues...

I have a Toshiba L305D-S5934 Laptop with an AMD Turion X2 Dual Core Processor, it has a Synaptics touchpad as do most laptops these days and I have run into the following problems: I am running Windows 7 RC Build 7100 (an official download not a torrent download) and my Synaptics Touchpad shows up as a PS2 compatable mouse in device manager. If I download the drivers that come through Windows Update they seem to work fine untill I reboot my system, at reboot just after the Windows 7 splash screen, she blue screens with a memory dump going to somewhere and then does an automatic restart, if I attempt to start windows normally after the restart she bluescreens again with the same results, and this will go on time and time again until I either go into safe mode and remove the Synaptics driver or let startup repair do its thing or do a system restore, all of which leaves me with a Synaptics Touchpad with erattic behavior, that loses its scrolling functionality, and is hypersensitive almost to the point that I can't type much of anything without the cursor jumping around all over the place and relocating like it has a mind of its own. Now Toshiba has something called Toshiba's Value Added Package (not much value there for 64 bit systems it seems this thing was a pain in Vista x64 and it is more of a pain in Windows 7 x64) I will not install the Value added Package until I am convinced t hat Toshiba or whoever makes it gives a rat's rear-end about 64 bit systems and Windows 7 the last time I tried to install it gave all kinds of problems and produced some blue screens of its own I believe. The Value Added Package however includes Toshiba's Flash Cards Utility that makes the Fn key work and gives access to disabling the Synaptics touchpad (you can do this in the driver as well, but when the driver is installed well she bluescreens except in safe mode) The Synaptics driver seems to do okay in safe mode so that could mean that another driver is causing the conflict but something is not wanting to lay nice with the Synaptics driver. I must note however that the Synaptics driver worked just fine in Windows Vista x64. Also I have downloaded the driver from Toshiba's site, the 64 bit Synaptics driver from the Synaptic's site and a couple of others, the one that came closeest to working the best was a version 12.something for HP laptops but the option to disable the touchpad wasn't in the driver. I usually use a mouse with my laptop but I use the touchpad when I take it places with me sometimes, it would be nice to have full functionality of both mouse and touchpad and to be able to disable the touchpad when an external pointing device is attached the way I could in Vista but right now I would settle to just be able to disable the touchpad until this is resolved so I can use the laptop without the cursor jumping all over the place and seemingly having a mind of it's own. As a side note I am very careful about allowing Windows Update to install any updates that it wants at this poing, more than once it has installed things that gave me bluescreens at reboot most notably the Toshiba Value Added Package and the Synaptics driver and maybe an Atheros Wireless driver but it does not yet seem to have the best interests of my PC at heart. On the other hand I have the 32 bit version installed on a Desktop PC with an old Athlon XP 2000+ and 2 GB of Ram it runs wonderfully nearly as well as Windows XP but there is no Synaptics touchpad on the desktop of course, and no Toshiba Value Added Package.

I have had a similar problem, windows update does NOT update the synaptics touchpad. I have a Toshiba Windows 7 and I did everything that was told by man and beast.
Finally, I went to control panel again, uninstalled synaptics and had to use the a program called Driver Update. This program installed my Realtek Audio even though this was working apparently the two work together. It SUCKS that you have to pay
to install security programs that run your programs but this was the only thing that worked for me and I went through months of not having a touchpad.
I hope this helps others solve their touchpad problems. Good Luck
