This is wrong, perhaps you've gotten the wrong event# ? Note I really need this output to be able to help you further.

Note when doing this make sure touchpad-edge-dectector is the only one using the touchpad, switch to a text console (ctrl+alt+f2), log in there and run touchpad-edge-dectector as root, ie:

sudo touchpad-edge-detector /dev/input/event4

Kernel says

Thanks. The minimum y value looks a bit off there, it is higher then I would have expected.

Note that the touchpad touch area continues all the way to the top of the touchpad, it includes the area
with the dots on it for middle clicking, only the separate plastic strip at the top is not touch-sensitive.

Can you try again please (try multiple times if necessary) ? We really need to get the minimum minimum value and the maximum maximum value.

Also we're trying to come up with a better way of dealing with this then adding a quirk for each and every new laptop model. For this work I need one more bit of info from you, can you please run the following
command in a terminal and copy and paste the output here ?  :

dmesg | grep synaptics

Thanks!

In the mean time I've started a scratch-kernel build based on the min/max values you've provided in comment 3 for now, you can find it here:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=6763814

Currently it is still building, please install this and give it a try when it is done.

I've also done a build of xorg-x11-drv-synaptics which identifies your laptop as having top buttons:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=512304

Assuming you're min/max reading from comment 3 are not too far off, then when using this xorg-x11-drv-synaptics and running the new kernel you should be able to use the top area of the touchpad to left / right / middle click, this is intended for use with the trackpoint.

Regards,

Hans

Hi Hans,

I tried it the touchpad-edge-detector more than 5 times, same result everytime. I'm going up to the topmost point of the touchpad (even beyond that, so that I don't miss anything). the result is the same:

touchpad sends : x[1024..5023], y[2509,4832]

As for the output of dmesg | grep synaptics, its as follows:
[    2.061909] psmouse serio1: synaptics: Touchpad model: 1, fw: 8.1, id: 0x1e2b1, caps: 0xd001a3/0x940300/0x127c00, board id: 2691, fw id: 1343010
[    2.061918] psmouse serio1: synaptics: serio: Synaptics pass-through port at isa0060/serio1/input0



I'll install your builds now.

Ok, the your touchpad is a different model then the ones we've seen so far.

And your firmware-id confirms this.

Ok, let me know if things work properly know, including the top button areas.

Hi Hans,

Thanks a lot for the updates. Everything is working fine now, even the top button areas.
