From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041020 Description of problem: Trackpad control in FC3 appears to have a scroll wheel area along the right side of the trackpad and some buttons along the bottom. As a result, I am always moving back one page in my web browser's history when I tap on the trackpad to focus the web browser window. I also inadvertantly scroll documents up and down. There ought to be a way to customize what areas of the trackpad do these additional functions and there ought to be a way to turn them off completely so I can have the complete area of the trackpad used for mouse navigation. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.9-1.667 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install FC3 on a notebook or laptop computer with a trackpad. 2. In a vertically scrollable area (like a tall web page), move your finger up and down the right most side of the trackpad. Notice the scrolling web page. 3. Tap the bottom most area of the trackpad. Notice the web browser move through the history. Expected Results: I should have the ability to control how much of the trackpad is used for these things, whether I want them on at all, and which functions I want to use. Additional info:
Need to know more info about your hardware to know what driver its using. Its possible theres some x config magic you can use to disable the 'buttons', but that's out of my field of expertise. Mike ?
I'm guessing this is the relevant section of my /etc/X/xorg.conf file: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Synaptics" Driver "synaptics" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "auto-dev" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes" EndSection It would appear that I'm using the Synaptics driver for the trackpad.
