How to disable my touchpad tap2click?

[Emperor]

Why i cant disable my touchpad tap ?
I am using Puppy 4.3.1(Full HD install) and it seems like whatever i do it ignores the Xorg.conf

also Flsync wont start and somehow i cant compile the 1.1.3 Synaptics driver--> Missing "XI" error. However according to many many diffrent posts it should work with the Xorg.conf.......it drives me crazy, iam trying this since a couple of months!

PLEASE HELP

[Flash]

Did you see this thread?

[Emperor]

yes, but it still makes not much sense in my case

for example
adding the line

Option "TapButton1" "0"

on a fresh xorg.conf there is all of that stuff missing, even the option to disable the Tap2click isnt there in the wizzard. After adding the line it appears.
The Posted File is my Current xorg.conf after i installed the synaptics driver via a pet file.

[npierce]

Let's see if your touchpad is responding to synclient commands. Try entering this command in a terminal window:

Code: Select all

synclient TapButton1=0

If it works it will immediately disable tapping for button 1 (no need to restart X).

If it doesn't work you might have an incompatible touchpad, or a problem with synclient.

This was just to test things. Even if it works, it is not a permanent solution. But if it works, one possible cause for your problem could be that the /root/Startup/load-touchpad-settings script is overwriting the values that you are setting in xorg.conf each time you start X. Try this command to see if it is enabling tapping:

Code: Select all

grep TapButton /root/.flSynclient

If it is, you can edit /root/.flSynclient, or you can just remove the load-touchpad-settings script from /root/Startup so that it will stop overwriting your settings from xorg.conf. (Of course, the latter will disable auto loading of any settings you save with flsynclient.)

[Emperor]

OK something went FUBAR and Beyond
I started Xorgwizzard and now all he can find is the generic Mouse driver.


Flsynclient also says that it cant find a synaptics touchpad

........anyone an idea?

Its an Panasonic Toughbook CF-M34 MKII

and i MUST disable the tap..........this useless function killed almost my Car engine

why we cant edit the standart Mouse driver?
adding the option enable tap to click works

[Emperor]

hmmmm no one an idea?

is there a gpointer device pet? or is there a chance to install somehow those ps_mouse_alps_driver from x.org?

[Flash]

Have you tried anything that npierce asked you to try?

[Bligh]

It may not work for everyone, but I always disable the touchpad. Either in the bios or software. USB laptop mice are fairly cheap.
Cheers

[Emperor]

@Flash
yes its say´s no supported touchpad found

@Bligh
Iam aware of this, but handling an external mouse in a car at a cruising speed around 120mp/h doesent sound like a "good" plan for me
(its a danger to the manifold thingy )

there must be somekind of solution........it drives me crazy

[npierce]

Please post the output of this command:

Code: Select all

grep Name /proc/bus/input/devices

If you see your touchpad listed, please also post the output of these commands:

Code: Select all

synclient -V
ls -l  /usr/X11R7/lib/xorg/modules/input/
grep -i -A 1 synaptics /var/log/Xorg.0.log

[Emperor]

grep Name /proc/bus/input/devices-->

Name="PS/2 Generic Mouse"

synclient -V -->

No Synaptics touchpad supported found

... handling an external mouse in a car at a cruising speed around 120mp/h doesnt sound like a "good" plan for me ...

But using a computer, even one with a touchpad, is? I hope you aren't delivering pizza.

naa workmate/buddy drive while iam strapped in a bucket seat. with a touchpad its already very hard, with a mouse its impossibel(tried already)

[deepsea]

Seems a remote control like James Bond
but with Xvesa instead of Xorg

[Emperor]

its more like this

every bump on the road makes me tap and that sucks.
ok enough OT


is there a chance that i can add a line in the mouse_drv.so ?

[Flash]

What application creates those on-screen meters and how does it interface with the car?

[npierce]

Name="PS/2 Generic Mouse"

It would appear that your kernel may not support your touchpad. Do you happen to know the manufacturer and model?

Some Alps Glidepoint touch pads are known to be unsupported by old kernels, and need a 3.2.0 or newer kernel.

There is at least one recent report of a Puppy user with an unsupported touchpad (I don't know if it was an Alps or not). The 3.2.29 kernel in Precise Puppy wasn't new enough to solve the problem. 01micko finally solved it by suggesting an upgrade to a Puppy with a 3.4.2 or newer kernel (found in Dpup Exprimo 5.X.3.4.12 and Slacko 5.4) (See http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 270#657270.)

is there a chance that i can add a line in the mouse_drv.so ?

I'm not aware of any such line. In fact, I would guess that mouse_drv.so believes it is really getting button clicks (not taps) from a PS/2 mouse (since real mice don't tap). The mouse emulation probably happens before mouse_drv.so is involved, possibly even in firmware supplied with the touchpad. (You might check your BIOS settings to see if tapping can be disabled there.)

Tunerstudio Pro (works only with Megasquirt & KDFI)

@npierce

Upgrading wont work the newer ones dont support my GPU for some unknown reason. its also a huge pain to install a new system on this thing cause it have no CD-Rom, no Floppy and no USB boot function
Also the Laptop is a Rugged one, removing the HDD is quiet complicated

i have PuppyTune on my Laptop which is a Reborn Puppy v0.44. But it doesent support my GPU

I googled it and couldn't find it. Do you have to sign a nondisclosure agreement before you can use it, promising never to divulge where you got it?

No, the most of it is even opensource You build it,You tune it and pray to god there is a PNP version for your car LOL
