From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040706 Firefox/0.9.1 Description of problem: My emachine M5310 laptop has a touchpad for mousing that has a wheel slider to the right, that acts as a wheel for a wheel mouse. However, FC3Test1 sees the slider part as part of the rest of the touchpad, so I don't get the wheel mouse ... I'm trying to find system-config-mouse ... hmmm, I have it installed but it's not available under main menu -> System Settings, which it should be. Anyway, it's detecting a 3 Button Mouse (PS/2) when it should be finding a Wheel Mouse (PS/2). Changing this over manually using system-config-mouse doesn't fix the problem, it still doesn't see the "wheel" part. I recall this working in FC1 so I know it's possible. :) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install FC3Test1 on laptop 2. No wheel mouse functionality 3. Open terminal window 4. Type system-config-mouse 5. Select Wheel Mouse (PS/2) 6. Add 3 button emulation 7. Save settings. 8. Still no wheel mouse 9. Close X down to runlevel 3 10. Type startx 11. Still no wheel mouse. Actual Results: No wheel mouse functionality. Expected Results: Wheel mouse functionality. Additional info:
This is a 2.4/2.6 change in the input layer, I imagine it's not a "real" wheel mouse but uses synaptics protocol on the wheel. For completeness can you please attach the output of cat /proc/bus/input /devices The synaptics driver is going to be put in to FC3. In addition you can try booting with psmouse.proto=imps, that should give you tap click at least.
My apologies for taking a while on this, cat /proc/bus/input/devices gives: I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0007 Version=0000 N: Name="SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" P: Phys=isa0060/serio1/input0 H: Handlers=mouse0 event0 B: EV=b B: KEY=6420 0 70000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 B: ABS=11000003 I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0001 Product=0001 Version=ab41 N: Name="AT Translated Set 2 keyboard" P: Phys=isa0060/serio0/input0 H: Handlers=kbd event1 B: EV=120003 B: KEY=4 2000000 3802078 f840d001 f2ffffdf ffefffff ffffffff fffffffe B: LED=7 will now try your booting recommendation
You are correct, I now have tap-click with that kernel option, thanks. :)
Should work with what's there now.
