Does this work better with later kernels? No, I have tried kernel-2.6.3-1.109 and kernel-2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1. I'm using a Dell Latitude C600. The dmesg output (from /var/log/messages) is: Mar 16 19:24:18 evilgenius kernel: mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice Mar 16 19:24:18 evilgenius kernel: serio: i8042 AUX port at 0x60,0x64 irq 12 Mar 16 19:24:18 evilgenius kernel: Synaptics Touchpad, model: 1 Mar 16 19:24:18 evilgenius kernel: Firmware: 5.5 Mar 16 19:24:18 evilgenius kernel: 180 degree mounted touchpad Mar 16 19:24:18 evilgenius kernel: Sensor: 27 Mar 16 19:24:18 evilgenius kernel: new absolute packet format Mar 16 19:24:18 evilgenius kernel: Touchpad has extended capability bits Mar 16 19:24:18 evilgenius kernel: -> multifinger detection Mar 16 19:24:18 evilgenius kernel: -> palm detection Mar 16 19:24:18 evilgenius kernel: -> pass-through port Mar 16 19:24:18 evilgenius kernel: input: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad on isa0060/serio1 Mar 16 19:24:18 evilgenius kernel: serio: Synaptics pass-through port at isa0060/serio1/input0 Mar 16 19:24:18 evilgenius kernel: input: PS/2 Generic Mouse on synaptics-pt/serio0 Mar 16 19:24:18 evilgenius kernel: serio: i8042 KBD port at 0x60,0x64 irq 1 Mar 16 19:24:18 evilgenius kernel: input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard on isa0060/serio0 (yes, I do like the userfriendly cartoon :-). After booting the machine the touchpad reacts sloppy, meaning that it depends on the CPU load how fast the mouse reacts. Also on the cpu usage graph you can see that every few seconds the CPU goes up to about 70% of usage for a short period of time. Clicking by tapping does not work, needless to say that the two-finger detection does not work as well... Any ideas? Any additional info you need? Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists. The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/ |
