Touchpad - Synaptics

I am on an Acer 5670 laptop, for some reason after I left the keyboard for a few moments, my touchpad stopped working. I have taken the opportunity to search other posts, again.
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf reads:

The synaptics package is called xf86-input-synaptics. You may want to remember what you have in your config file and do
pacman -Rn xf86-input-synaptics
the -n stands for nosave which won't save your old config files, so you can start fresh. Hopefully that helps

HP Sleekbook 15 - Touchpad Synaptics with Windows 10

Hello everyone! I'll try to be as brief as possible. Yesterday I upgraded from Win 8.1 to Win 10 on my Hp Pavilion Sleekbook 15; everything seems to work pretty fine, except for the touchpad Synaptics. At first Win10 start I noticed the scrolling was inverted (Mac style), and the icon of Synaptics touchpad had disappeared from the tray. Not a big issue: I go to the settings and as usual, disable the "Inverted Scrolling" and enable the icon back to the tray. It works like a charm and I think I've sorted it out. However, after rebooting the icon disappeared again from the tray and my touchpad is inverted again. For how much I try, it always comes back to defaults after rebooting. Activating/deactivating the touchpad, as well as unistalling and re-installing updated drivers didn't solve the issue. So I open regedit, to try and edit the strings manually.The "TrayIcon" string was easy to find: value changed from "0" to "1" and the icon magically appears and stays forever in the tray. The inverted axe is driving me crazy. I couldn't find any string regarding the inverted scrolling, and the only way to change it is manually at each time I restart my laptop. Can anyone help with this? I think the only ways to solve this would be either change the correspondat string in regedit (to keep it uninverted forever like with the icon in the tray) or change something else in order to make changes memorized after rebooting. Any help is appreciated!! Thank you very much!

Quick update folks. Thanks to the link I temporary solved the issue! I've downgraded my touchpad driver, from version 19 to 18. Here's the link: http://support.hp.com/ee-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-envy-15-u300-x360-convertible-pc/7771362/model/8255118#Z7_3054ICK0K8UDA0AQC11TA930O2 Now settings remain saved after rebooting too. Thanks to all! Hopefully they'll fix it with the next update. Mike

GT80 Touchpad synaptics num button not working

Hello, I made no changes to the synaptics adjustments, everything at default values, now num button for enabling number pad at gt80 not working any more. other functions (touchpad) are working. even reinstall of synaptics driver not working. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

Greetings from Australia,
I recently obtained this laptop and by design installed windows 7 x64.
after a number of years working in call centres, I'm used to working blind and talking to people who have only recently been inducted into the realm of technology
(I admit sometimes it is like trying to give someone instructions in another language to help them fix their car engines via the muffler while using a braille workshop manual)
As a matter of course, I encountered the same problem you guys did.
Robert_Tirak thanks for your post, you gave me enough information to get started on finding a solution to this, however, I've taken the tact of writing this as if it's for someone who happened to get their hands on one of these amazing machines but isn't in any way whatsoever computer literate, as that caters for every/anyone.
Quote from: robert_tirak on 25-March-15, 23:18:48
The person with the "knocking zone" had the answer but it's called "tapping zones". Just go in pointing device properties > device settings > settings. From there go to tapping and enable tapping. Then go to tap zones and enable tap zones. Fixed my numpad instantly.
a little more detail:
*right click on the synaptic touch pad icon in bottom right near time
*pointing device properties
*device settings tab up top
*click device settings button near middle on the right hand side
*on the new screen there's a menu on the left, in that menu
*open 'Tapping'
*then click tap zones and enable it
*then you can change the zones if you like, however, what I've done is disabled top right, bottom left and *right and just enabled top left (the region that covers the num lock lit up section)
my only problem now is, the literal command/app/function to go between numlock with keys vs mouse is missing from the list of available options.. pretty sure it'll just end up being some kind of executable or command line to initiate something in the driver,
I'd be most grateful for any further assistance from anyone who has actually got this working.
Sincerely
X.

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.

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.

Touchpad Synaptics: Touch-and-drag while scrolling

Say there's text you want to highlight, but it spans more than the current amount displayed on your screen. On a touchpad, I do the touch-and-drag gesture (tap once, then drag with touchpad) until I highlight all of the text. However, if the text is large, then merely putting the mouse at the bottom of the screen makes for considerbly slow scrolling. Normally on Windows, I would instead apply a second finger to drag up and down, which would scroll the screen at a desired faster rate.
Is there an equivalent that you can do in Linux? The TapAndDragGesture in synaptics allows for the touch-and-drag feature, but it doesn't allow for the extra one where you can apply the second finger to scroll up/down while still highlighting. I haven't found any other alternatives that allow one to highlight while scrolling relatively fast. (LockedDrags doesn't do this either.)

This topic isnt really something normally answered in the Arch forums. Im not saying people wont answer (as I myself am going to), but generally this is something better for upstream developers to consider as opposed to Arch users. Just trying to point you in a more productive direction for the future Many times if you ask something like this Archers will just ignore you so you get the point..
That said, my touchpad on Arch works exactly as you describe desiring. I double-tap 1 finger to initiate the highlight function, then move down to select more text of course. If I reach the end of the visible page, I can simply swipe my second finger and it will initiate vertical scrolling without affecting text selection. FWIW, I switched to xf86-input-synaptics-git in the AUR for multitouch, and that is how it works for me.
I do not have edge scrolling or sustained scrolling enabled on my system as it drives me nuts. When I really want to select a ton of text quickly, Ill initiate by holding the left touchpad mouse button down, then two-finger scrolling up or down. That is the easiest way for me..

My Laptop TOUCHPAD [Synaptics] multi touch not working on startup

My Laptop is HP Pavilion DV6 - 7040TX
It is working nicely, I noticed one thing. That the multi touch functionality in the touchpad is not working on Windows start up. (Multi touch - Two finger pinch, there finger ....) ie. Only single touch is working, I can drag the cursor, select and click. When I open the Synaptics settings from the Cpanel, the other features are working fine, doesn't make a difference when I closed that settings tab.
This is my issue, some of my friends bought this very same Laptop and they don't seem to have this problem at all. Please help me out of this.
- Manoj

i had the same problem. what solved this for me was to simply go to device manager and under mice and other pointing devices uninstall the touchpad, i had a usb mouse handy just in case i needed it, but then i restarted the laptop and it auto reinstalled touchpad for me and then all options worked on startup.

Touchpad (Synaptics) scrolling with two finger gesture is smooth only after scrolling in IE9 before (Firefox 8/9/10 Windows 7 (64)).

First I got the problem solved that 2-finger-gesture scrolling did not work at all: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/895816. Thanks for that!
With "smooth scrolling" turned on in the options, touchpad gesture scrolling is smooth in FF9 but only in 5-line-steps. No stopping in between possible. If touchpad scrolling is performed in IE9 once, scrolling in FF9 is completely smooth afterwards. If the gesture is perfomed once in Google Chrome 16 scrolling in FF9 is turned back to 5-step-scrolling. Chrome 16 and IE9 can be used to turn off and on the completely smooth scrolling in FF9!

Upgrade your browser to Firefox 9 and check

Synaptics touchpad mouse now doesn't work after updating Firefox on netbook.

I updated from Firefox 3.6.X to Firefox 9.0.1.
Now my "mouse" (touchpad) does not work.
Hardware: Acer Aspire One 532h netbook.
OS: Windows 7 32-bit.
Touchpad: Synaptics PS/2 Compatible Mouse
I have done the following in the order listed to try to fix the problem (in between as required I have restarted the computer):
Updated the driver.
Rolled back the driver.
Adjusted the value of ui.trackpoint_hack.enabled (within about:config) to 0.
Adjusted the value of ui.trackpoint_hack.enabled (within about:config) to 1.
Returned the value of ui.trackpoint_hack.enabled (within about:config) back to original value of -1.
Disabled the driver.
Removed the driver.
Downloaded from Synaptics and installed the driver.
Removed the new driver.
Downloaded from Acer and installed the driver.
Note that the Device Manager has always shown the driver/device to be working properly, but clearly it isn't.
The functionality of the mouse terminated after I updated Firefox. Nothing else was done to the netbook.

OK, so I am the only person that this has ever happened to. Awesome.
FWIW, I realize that updating Firefox should have ZERO impact on the touchpad driver. However, there was nothing else done to (or with) the netbook that could have caused this.
Freak coincidence? Any opinion is appreciated...

Problem with touchpad and Windows 8.1. Acer Aspire E5-511

I bought an Acer Aspire E5-511, but I have problem with touchpad and Windows 8.1.The touchpad (Synaptics) is not working with Windows 8.1 x64, but it works fine with Windows 7 x64 and Windows 8 x64.When I install Windows 8.1 and have to choose” language to install” I can’t choose anything with the touchpad. I should plug in my mouse to continue. I doesn’t work even when it’s fully installed and with latest driver (available only for win 8.1 x64) from Acer’s website. I tried with an older driver, but had no success. I updated BIOS, but it doesn’t work again. In hardware IDS in device manager it shows HID\… not ACPI\… (like win 7/8). Fn+F7 doesn’t help.When I try to install Windows7/8 the touchpad is working properly at the beginning (I can choose ”language to install”, “Time and currency format”… and the touchpad works after install even without driver).

SOLUTION So guys after deep research and troubleshooting I found that you need to keep notice of a few things at time of installation: Installation Mode: UEFI (only)- LEGACY would create touchpad issues. after installation of windows just follow the driver installation hierarchy 1.Intel NB_Chipset_M Baytrail-M 2.Intel I/O Driver then rest of the crap. Note:After doing all this make sure your touchpad is active >> Fn+F7 Just wished if this solution came from an acer executive , the world would have been a better place , but anyways this is what community is for. Enjoy everyone

[Solved] Aspire One - Can't get touchpad to work

I'm in the process of installing arch on a hdd One, and i've copied the xorg.conf from the AA1 Arch wiki.
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ace … Fxorg.conf
When i test the config, the "X" image displays but i can't move it with the touchpad.
This is my first arch install so i assume there's something i'm looking over. I used the most recent USB img to install, the only thing extra i've installed are the Intel and Synaptic drivers that are in the wiki.
Besides xorg.conf, the only thing i've edited is rc.conf, i just added these modules in the AA1 Arch wiki:
acpi_cpufreq ath5k !memstick pciehp r8169 !snd-pcsp uvcvideo
I tried messing around with the xorg.conf, using stuff i'm finding on the wiki, like following the "My touchpad device isn't located at /dev/input/mouse0" instructions on the Touchpad Synaptics wiki, but nothing changed.
I also added evdev and psmouse to rc.conf as suggested in that wiki, but i got nothing.
I've been getting by with all the documentation available, trying my best to not have to bug you guys, but seems like i'm stuck. If i seem pretty clueless it's because i am, this is kind of learning process for me
I would assume the xorg log would help, but not being able to copy it, and not knowing what parts would be important to type up in this post, i guess i'm kinda shooting in the dark.

This might sound like a silly question, but...have you tried enabling the touchpad with the Fn+F7 hotkey? I found that mine was disabled by default when I first installed Arch.

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 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.

Switching the MatchIsTouchpad to MatchIsPointer in 50-synaptics.conf resulted in Xorg.0.log having:
[ 9640.197] (II) Using input driver 'synaptics' for 'PS/2 Elantech ETF1059 Click-Pad'

[ 9640.295] (EE) PreInit returned 11 for "PS/2 Elantech ETF1059 Click-Pad"
[ 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.
