Description Anish Mangal 2012-04-11 17:09:04 UTC
Description of problem:
The clickpad on the lenovo thinkpad x220 laptop, which has integrated mouse buttons, is buggy with the following problems:

1. Right click doesnt work, instead when I press the right click 'area', a left click happens.
2. While left clicking, the mouse pointer also moves on the screen. i.e. I cannot click and drag reliably using the clickpad

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Fedora-16 (Fresh install as well as latest updated.)
Fedora-17

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
Mentioned above


  
Actual results:
N.A.

Expected results:
N.A.

Additional info:
The same clickpad works flawlessly with Ubuntu-12.04 final beta. Apparently they have incorporated some customizations to the touchpad configuration.

Is there one available for f16 as well. I don't wanna migrate to a different version of OS just to test this, or install packages that might break deps.

Comment 4 Andrew Hutchings 2012-04-18 13:15:13 UTC
not only does this update not fix the clickpad for me, it breaks scrolling on it as seen in bug 813686.

Comment 6 Andrew Hutchings 2012-04-19 04:45:59 UTC
autoscroll fixed but no change in clickpad behaviour.  Is there an option I'm missing somewhere?

Comment 7 Andrew Hutchings 2012-04-19 05:07:04 UTC
ignore me, it does work, just need to do:
synclient RightButtonAreaLeft=3300 RightButtonAreaTop=3999

awesome stuff :)

Comment 8 Andrew Hutchings 2012-04-19 05:21:01 UTC
Can we also have this commit in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf please:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-input-synaptics/commit/?id=b6779458bcdb049480310ba1acb3991ad061ffc7

Thanks again :)

Comment 9 Anish Mangal 2012-04-19 06:52:20 UTC
Can we also have this backported to f16 ;-)

Comment 10 Peter Hutterer 2012-04-19 07:02:40 UTC
.conf file is updated, builds coming up in a tick.

I don't think I'll be able to backport this to F16 since it requires some of the multitouch bits only found in server 1.12 (F17). sorry.

Okay. (Im)patiently waiting for F17 release. Will upgrade once its out.

Thanks for fixing the issue :-)

Peter: awesome, works great.  If you were at the Openstack design summit right now I would buy you a beer for that :)

Comment 14 Peter Hutterer 2012-04-20 01:31:16 UTC
moving this to F17 since that's where the bug will be fixed. No fix for F16, sorry.
