LLStarksbryceh, i think synaptic is busted. did the new evdev or anything else in the new stack break stuff? touchpad clicks are broken. minimal pointer accuracy. jumping cursor.21:09
LLStarksusb mice seem to be fine21:10
LLStarksanyone?21:39
RAOFLLStarks: Oh, really?  BAh.22:34
RAOFLLStarks: Are you actually *using* synaptics, or evdev?22:35
LLStarkssynaptics according to xorg logs22:36
RAOFSo, there is a new synaptics, and it pretty drastically changed the acceleration infrastructure.22:41
RAOFAlthough, for the touchpads *I* tested on, it resulted in subjectively better behaviour.22:42
RAOFTouchpad clicks work for me; Xorg.0.log might possibly be useful.22:42
LLStarkshttp://pastebin.com/C5KV22fJ23:01
LLStarkssynaptics is terrible right now. the point can't even stay stationary if your finger is.23:02
LLStarks*pointer23:02
LLStarksraof, is the previous version abi compatible with the new stack?23:04
RAOFThat's because you appear to be using evdev, rather than synaptics.23:04
LLStarksoh, am i?23:04
RAOFYes: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: Applying InputClass "evdev touchpad catchall"23:04
RAOFDo you have the synaptics driver installed? :)23:04
LLStarksyes.23:05
LLStarks1.3.99+git20110116.0e27ce3a-0ubuntu123:05
RAOFWell, that's rather disappointing.23:05
LLStarkshow do i force synaptics and why isn't it being used?23:06
LLStarksi don't mind using my mx510, but i'd rather not drag it everywhere23:06
LLStarks<_<23:06
RAOFThe server doesn't appear to be even loading the synaptics module.23:07
RAOFCan you pastebin the contents of /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d ?23:07
LLStarkseric@kingfisher:/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d$ dir23:08
LLStarks10-evdev.conf   50-vmmouse.conf     60-magictrackpad.conf23:08
LLStarks50-synaptics.conf  51-synaptics-quirks.conf23:08
LLStarksi didn't even know evdev were a fallback for touchpads23:09
LLStarksi thought they used -mouse23:09
LLStarksdoes alps use evdev?23:10
RAOFNo.23:10
RAOFTouchpads use synaptics, everything else* uses evdev23:10
RAOF* Barring special things like wacom.23:10
LLStarksah23:10
RAOFWell, and the magic trackpad, which gets evdev because that's where gesture support is.23:12
LLStarksx gesture support is so confusing. there's utouch and then there's the gesture extension.23:16
LLStarksi dun get it23:16
RAOFUtouch is the userspace component.23:16
RAOFThe gesture extension is a (temporary, it turns out) server-side support for it.23:16
LLStarksi see23:23
LLStarksany insight on the evdev-over-synaptics?23:24
RAOFNot really.23:25
RAOFPerhaps the udev log would be helpful?23:26
RAOFBecause synaptics *should* be picking up your touchpad as a touchpad.23:26
LLStarkswhat file?23:26
RAOFudevadm --query=all --name /dev/input/event823:29
LLStarkscan't query all23:30
LLStarksgrr. all options are unrecognized.23:32
RAOFDoes “udevadm --query=all --name=/dev/input/event8” work?23:32
RAOFBah! “udevadm info --query=all --name=/dev/input/event8” work?23:32
LLStarksyar23:41
LLStarkshttp://pastebin.com/hA8G3jmR23:41
RAOFAnd can you pastebin /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf ?23:44
LLStarkshttp://pastebin.com/yndbtBwS23:45
RAOFOk.  I'm now officially confused.23:46
RAOFI don't see why that shouldn't match your touchpad.23:47
