Description of problem: The 40% touchpad area to the bottom does not respond to any touch behavior. In other word, only the top 60% area is working. Modifying parameters using synclient does not seem to work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-synaptics-1.7.4-5.fc20.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum install xorg-x11-drv-synaptics # updates to 1.7.4-5 2. reboot Actual results: Only the top 60% touchpad area works Expected results: 100% touchpad area should work Additional info: Tested some parameters using synclient, such as BottomEdge, but no expected results. Previous releases such as 1.7.1-6.fc20 and 1.7.4-1.fc20 were working versions. By downgrading to 1.7.4-1.fc20 (yum downgrade xorg-x11-drv-synaptics), the problem disappeared.
I need the output of grep "" /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/* please, and the min/max range from your touchpad. Easiest way to get the latter is to grab libevdev from git://git.freedesktop.org/git/libevdev, build it and run sudo ./tools/touchpad-edge-detector /dev/input/eventX (with the right event node of course).
I tested on both the 1.7.1-5.fc20 and 1.7.4-5.fc20 pakcages, the results are essentially the same: $ sudo grep "" /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/* /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/bios_date:06/13/2013 /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/bios_vendor:LENOVO /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/bios_version:GHET22WW (1.07 ) /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/board_asset_tag:Not Available /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/board_name:20AACTO1WW /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/board_serial:1ZSFT38C1LH /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/board_vendor:LENOVO /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/board_version:Not Defined /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/chassis_asset_tag:No Asset Information /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/chassis_serial:R90016FN /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/chassis_type:10 /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/chassis_vendor:LENOVO /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/chassis_version:Not Available /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/modalias:dmi:bvnLENOVO:bvrGHET22WW(1.07):bd06/13/2013:svnLENOVO:pn20AACTO1WW:pvrThinkPadT431s:rvnLENOVO:rn20AACTO1WW:rvrNotDefined:cvnLENOVO:ct10:cvrNotAvailable: grep: /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/power: Is a directory /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/product_name:20AACTO1WW /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/product_serial:R90016FN /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/product_uuid:817A7AC2-C652-CB11-864F-B130B8A68038 /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/product_version:ThinkPad T431s grep: /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/subsystem: Is a directory /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/sys_vendor:LENOVO /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/uevent:MODALIAS=dmi:bvnLENOVO:bvrGHET22WW(1.07):bd06/13/2013:svnLENOVO:pn20AACTO1WW:pvrThinkPadT431s:rvnLENOVO:rn20AACTO1WW:rvrNotDefined:cvnLENOVO:ct10:cvrNotAvailable: $ sudo ./touchpad-edge-detector /dev/input/event3 > touchpad-edge.txt $ cat touchpad-edge.txt Touchpad SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad on /dev/input/event3 Move one finger around the touchpad to detect the actual edges Kernel says: x [1472..5112], y [1408..3834] Touchpad sends: x [1038..5113], y [2021..4832] \
Hi Shichao, Thanks for the bug report and for the info. It seems that the T431s has the same touchpad as the T440s. One of the issues with the T440s touchpad is that it reports the wrong min/max values as your touchpad-edge-detector test clear shows. Since version 1.7.4-4 synaptics ignores touches starting in the bottom button area, this avoids accidental movement of the cursor before clicking when putting down a finger to click in the bottom button area, and the wrong min/max values for your touchpad cause this area where movement is ignored if it *starts* there to become quite large on your laptop. I've prepared a scratch kernel build which adds a quirk for your laptop to fix the min/max area, you can find it here, please install this kernel and give things a try with the latest synaptics driver: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=6723184 Note it is still building atm. Also I would like to know the pnp id for your touchpad, as we plan to switch to using pnp ids for the quirks for these touchpads in the future, so can you please do: cat /sys/devices/pnp0/*/id and paste the output here? Last, to get the synaptics driver to also activate the top button area for your touchpad you need to edit a udev-rule (I'll create an updated package for this as soon as you can confirm everything works as it should) , for now please edit: /lib/udev/rules.d/70-touchpad-quirks.rules And then find this line: ATTR{[dmi/id]product_version}=="*T440*", ENV{ID_INPUT.tags}="T440" And change it into the following 2 lines (copy it and edit the 2nd line): ATTR{[dmi/id]product_version}=="*T440*", ENV{ID_INPUT.tags}="T440" ATTR{[dmi/id]product_version}=="*T431*", ENV{ID_INPUT.tags}="T440" Note that the T440 at the end of the 2nd line is not a mistake, this tells the synaptics driver to use the T440 settings for your laptop. Thanks for your help with this, and please let me know if the kernel-build + udev rule update makes the touchpad work properly including the top button area (which is intended for use with the trackstick). Regards, Hans
Hi Hans, I installed your kernel build, updated the package to 1.7.4-5.fc20, and modified /lib/udev/rules.d/70-touchpad-quirks.rules as instructed. I think everything works as expected. As you said "1.7.4-4 synaptics ignores touches starting in the bottom button area", currently the touchpad ignores touches only a tiny area from the bottom, which I think is functioning correctly. Thanks! $ cat /sys/devices/pnp0/*/id PNP0c01 PNP0c02 PNP0103 PNP0200 PNP0800 PNP0c04 PNP0b00 LEN0071 PNP0303 LEN0034 PNP0f13 SMO1200 PNP0c31
Hi Shichao An, Thanks for testing! It seems that everything works as it should now, which is great. Can you please install this build of the xorg-x11-drv-synaptics package? It will replace your modified /lib/udev/rules.d/70-touchpad-quirks.rules with a new one, which has been updated to support your laptop: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=6728782 And then after installing this package, reboot and check that everything still works ? Thanks & Regards, Hans
Hi Hans, I installed your build of xorg-x11-drv-synaptics and confirmed everything still works. Thanks! Shichao
Hi Shichao An, Thanks for testing! I'm currently preparing an official update to the xorg-x11-drv-synaptics package with the necessary changes. I've also commit the necessary changes to the kernel package, so that these will get picked up with the next build. Regards, Hans

I'm having similar problem with my lenovo thinkpad edge e431, only the top 20% of the touchpad area works. I updated synaptics, nothing changed.
Hi Kartik, (In reply to Kartik Somani from comment #14) > I'm having similar problem with my lenovo thinkpad edge e431, only the top > 20% of the touchpad area works. I updated synaptics, nothing changed. Please file a new bug for this, in this new bug, please include the following unformation: 1) Please download both libevdev and libevdev-utils for your arch from here: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=506786 And then install them both with: rpm -ivh libevdev*.rpm Note it is important to use rpm -i not -U (unless you're running rawhide), so as to keep the old libevdev which is used by a lot of other apps on your system. And then run "touchpad-edge-detector /dev/input/event#" where # is the number for your touchpad (see dmesg or Xorg.0.log) and run your finger along the outer edge of the touchpad to detect the proper min/max values. Please copy and paste the output of the program into the new bug. 2) Please run the following commands and copy and paste the output into the new bug: cat /sys/class/dmi/id/product_version cat /sys/devices/pnp0/*/id Thanks, Hans
