Description of problem: The touchpad on my relatively-new (June) HP Pavillion dv6 Select Edition Entertainment (product #XC109AV) is erratic to the point of being virtually unusable. Resting my hands on either side of the touchpad while typing causes the pointer to be very jumpy. Clicking w/ the left mouse button causes the pointer to jump around for a short time afterward (which makes click-dragging or selecting text pretty much impossible). Right context menus pop up seemingly at random while typing. Finally, the right mouse button doesn't work at all. I am able to tap the touchpad to click, and edge scrolling works. 2-finger scrolling does not work. Needless to say, all of this worked fine under Windows 7, which came preloaded, and I never noticed problems under HP QuickWeb (what very few times I booted into it). cat /proc/bus/input/devices lists the touchpad as I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0007 Version=01b1 N: Name="SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" P: Phys=isa0060/serio1/input0 S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input4 U: Uniq= H: Handlers=mouse0 event4 B: EV=b B: KEY=420 10000 0 0 0 0 B: ABS=11000003 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.35.4-28.fc14.x86_64 How reproducible: Constant Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log in 2. Try to type, 2 finger scroll, select text, or right-click. Actual results: Jumpy pointer, no right clicks, no 2-finger scroll, random context menus Expected results: Pointer follows finger on trackpad, right mouse button activates context menu, 2 finger scroll works, left button + trackpad drags or selects Additional info: Not sure what would be helpful. Machine is Quad-core AMD N930, dmesg | grep serio shows: serio: i8042 KBD port at 0x60,0x64 irq 1 serio: i8042 AUX port at 0x60,0x64 irq 12 input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as /devices/platform/i8042/serio0/input/input3 input: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input4
I am also having the same problem. Very annoying. Probably the same hardware as above. Additionally, because, through the genius of HP the touchpad on/off is not "integrated" into the touchpad I cannot turn on and off the touchpad. uname -a Linux nomad-phat 2.6.35.6-48.fc14.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Oct 22 15:36:08 UTC 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux cat /proc/bus/input/devices I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0007 Version=01b1 N: Name="SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" P: Phys=isa0060/serio1/input0 S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input8 U: Uniq= H: Handlers=mouse1 event8 B: EV=b B: KEY=420 10000 0 0 0 0 B: ABS=11000003 dmesg | grep -i Synap [ 2.573477] Synaptics Touchpad, model: 1, fw: 7.4, id: 0x1e0b1, caps: 0xd04771/0xe40000/0x5a0400 [ 2.657855] input: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input8 dmidecode -s system-product-name HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC
Sorry, I meant "now integrated" not "not integrated"
This appears to be a duplicate of: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=613220 I have added further details there.
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
