My touchpad is not recognised as a touchpad so I cannot configure advanced features like disable while typing. I don't want to turn it off with xinput. System is Fedora 16 x64 up2date # syndaemon Unable to find a synaptics device. /proc/bus/input/devices I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=000f Version=0000 N: Name="FSPPS/2 Sentelic FingerSensingPad" P: Phys=isa0060/serio2/input0 S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/i8042/serio2/input/input5 U: Uniq= H: Handlers=mouse1 event5 B: PROP=0 B: EV=7 B: KEY=670000 0 0 0 0 B: REL=143 # dmidecode Handle 0x004A, DMI type 21, 7 bytes Built-in Pointing Device Type: Touch Pad Interface: PS/2 Buttons: 2 # xinput list ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ A4Tech RF USB Mouse id=11 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ FSPPS/2 Sentelic FingerSensingPad id=13 [slave pointer (2)] # grep Pad /var/log/Xorg.0.log [ 18.507] (II) config/udev: Adding input device FSPPS/2 Sentelic FingerSensingPad (/dev/input/event5) [ 18.507] (**) FSPPS/2 Sentelic FingerSensingPad: Applying InputClass "evdev pointer catchall" [ 18.507] (II) Using input driver 'evdev' for 'FSPPS/2 Sentelic FingerSensingPad' [ 18.508] (**) FSPPS/2 Sentelic FingerSensingPad: always reports core events [ 18.508] (**) evdev: FSPPS/2 Sentelic FingerSensingPad: Device: "/dev/input/event5" [ 18.508] (--) evdev: FSPPS/2 Sentelic FingerSensingPad: Vendor 0x2 Product 0xf [ 18.508] (--) evdev: FSPPS/2 Sentelic FingerSensingPad: Found 11 mouse buttons [ 18.508] (--) evdev: FSPPS/2 Sentelic FingerSensingPad: Found scroll wheel(s) [ 18.508] (--) evdev: FSPPS/2 Sentelic FingerSensingPad: Found relative axes [ 18.508] (--) evdev: FSPPS/2 Sentelic FingerSensingPad: Found x and y relative axes [ 18.508] (II) evdev: FSPPS/2 Sentelic FingerSensingPad: Configuring as mouse [ 18.508] (II) evdev: FSPPS/2 Sentelic FingerSensingPad: Adding scrollwheel support [ 18.508] (**) evdev: FSPPS/2 Sentelic FingerSensingPad: YAxisMapping: buttons 4 and 5 [ 18.508] (**) evdev: FSPPS/2 Sentelic FingerSensingPad: EmulateWheelButton: 4, EmulateWheelInertia: 10, EmulateWheelTimeout: 200 [ 18.508] (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "FSPPS/2 Sentelic FingerSensingPad" (type: MOUSE, id 13) [ 18.508] (II) evdev: FSPPS/2 Sentelic FingerSensingPad: initialized for relative axes.
