Synaptics - touchpad right key on R60

Hi,

I've got a problem with my touchpad right key. When i click/push the button 2 things happens:
1) right click event (which is ok)
2) scroll event (which is nok)

Except that everything works fine. What is the problem?
My laptop is IBMR60 and Freebsd 8.0 Release
Thx
 
Yes
I have this already installed and this driver is not working fine.
If i keep pressed scroll happens. all other functionality working fine (touch track vertical scrolling etc.) except this one button
 
I pretty much have the same problem on my laptop. (PB Easynote SJ51-B-042)

When I right-click using 2-finger tap in stead of the button 2 everything is fine.
Also, when using a usb mouse connected everything is fine.
Only the button 2 from the touchpad is *sometimes* acting strange and give me the same 2 things as the OP (scroll-start + right-click event).
When using button 2 in Opera, it is only there when I open more then 1 Tab.
With 1 Tab, the button 2 acts normal.
In other applications, I can't figure out why button 2 is OK sometimes, and then sometimes it randomly starts a scroll event.

I am on FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE-p1 amd64 with xfce4 and followed the guide on http://wiki.freebsd.org/SynapticsTouchpad

I have forgot to add a sentence to my prev post:
"except that error message everything works fine and now i have properly behaving touchpad. But why this errors occurs?"

But i am not able (yet ;)...minimum 10 posts ) edit my post so sorry for that
 
try changing this line
Code:
Option         "Device" "/dev/psm0"
to
Code:
Option         "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"

see if that clears up the error message.

edit: this probably wont work seeing as how dmesg shows psm0, but hey, give it a shot.
 
Hi
I've already tried sysmouse but it works more unstable than psm cursor motion is not so fluent and e.g. menu in fluxbox has some delay after mouse click (seems that mouse events are triggered with some delay )

I've run it again and that is my (EE) log:
Code:
(EE) Synaptics_Touchpad Can't set native mode
(EE) Synaptics_Touchpad Unable to query/initialize Synaptics hardware.
(EE) PreInit failed for input device "Synaptics_Touchpad"
(EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed (8)
(EE) config/hal: NewInputDeviceRequest failed (8)
 
have you tried using the touchpad with no configuration at all?
removing the synaptics related stuff from loader.conf, xorg.conf, and re-enabling moused in rc.conf?

my laptop with synaptics touchpad worked perfectly out of the box with NO configuration of touchpad. i just remapped the z axis to the y axis to get rid of the vertical scrolling (it bothered me).

and if you try that, replace /dev/psm0 with /dev/sysmouse in xorg.conf.
 
Yep then it is behaving like a normal mouse without scroll functionality. Current solution-mouse behave is the best one. I am just wondering if it is not the problem that mouse- track point is integrated with keyboard(Thinkpad R60) and this could be the reason for error log.

Code:
atkbdc0: <Keyboard controller (i8042)> port 0x60,0x64 irq 1 on acpi0
atkbd0: <AT Keyboard> irq 1 on atkbdc0
psm0: <PS/2 Mouse> irq 12 on atkbdc0
 
same thing here with the touchpad integrated with atkbd and i dont have the error message in the xorg log.

the synaptics touchpad has been all but a pleasant experience for me. trying to configure it has only caused it to work horribly.
its times like these that i wish i were a better programmer so i could write some code and make the driver work better.

remapping the z axis to the y axis is not at all what i wanted to do, but it was my only option to get rid of the verical scrolling without sacrificing the touchpad tap performance.

heres a couple threads to check out.
