synaptics: Mousepad Plays Up and Vertical Scroll doesn't work
Last modified: 2008-06-27 15:26:54 UTC
Sometimes when the mousepad is left alone for a few seconds, and then I try to use it, there won't be any change in mouse location for the first 1-2 seconds no matter how I move the mousepad. With an external mouse, this problem doesn't occur. Furthermore, the horizontal scroll on the mousepad works just fine, but the vertical one doesn't at all. This is a Sony Vaio VGN-NR21J/S, and: linux-2gj2:/home/haris # hwinfo --mouse 43: PS/2 00.0: 10500 PS/2 Mouse [Created at input.183] UDI: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX3_port_logicaldev_input Unique ID: AH6Q.5+smWHVjPI3 Hardware Class: mouse Model: "PS/2 Mouse" Vendor: 0x0002 Device: 0x0008 "PS/2 Mouse" Compatible to: int 0x0210 0x0003 Device File: /dev/input/mice (/dev/input/mouse0) Device Files: /dev/input/mice, /dev/input/mouse0, /dev/input/event2, /dev/input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-4-event-mouse, /dev/input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-4-mouse Device Number: char 13:63 (char 13:32) Driver Info #0: Buttons: 3 Wheels: 0 XFree86 Protocol: explorerps/2 GPM Protocol: exps2 Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown 44: PS/2 00.0: 10500 PS/2 Mouse [Created at input.183] UDI: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX3_port_logicaldev_input_0 Unique ID: AH6Q.5+smWHVjPI3 Hardware Class: mouse Model: "AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint" Vendor: 0x0002 Device: 0x0008 "AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint" Compatible to: int 0x0210 0x0003 Device File: /dev/input/mice (/dev/input/mouse1) Device Files: /dev/input/mice, /dev/input/mouse1, /dev/input/event3, /dev/input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-4-event-mouse, /dev/input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-4-mouse Device Number: char 13:63 (char 13:33) Driver Info #0: Buttons: 3 Wheels: 0 XFree86 Protocol: explorerps/2 GPM Protocol: exps2 Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown 45: PS/2 00.0: 10500 PS/2 Mouse [Created at input.183] UDI: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_logicaldev_input_3 Unique ID: AH6Q.GK9dutOpov5 Hardware Class: mouse Model: "Sony Vaio Jogdial" Vendor: 0x104d Device: "Sony Vaio Jogdial" Compatible to: int 0x0210 0x0011 Device File: /dev/input/mice (/dev/input/mouse2) Device Files: /dev/input/mice, /dev/input/mouse2, /dev/input/event7 Device Number: char 13:63 (char 13:34) Driver Info #0: Buttons: 1 Wheels: 1 XFree86 Protocol: explorerps/2 GPM Protocol: exps2 Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown
This sounds weird. Please do the following: init 3 sax2 Attach /var/log/SaX.log.

This looks suspicious to me. [...] Synaptics DeviceOn called (--) Mouse[3] auto-dev sets device to /dev/input/event3 (waited 0 msec) (**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/event3" (--) Mouse[3] touchpad found Synaptics DeviceOn called (--) Mouse[1] auto-dev sets device to /dev/input/event3 (waited 0 msec) (**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/event3" (WW) Mouse[1] can't grab event device, errno=16 (--) Mouse[1] touchpad found Not sure, why 2 synaptics driver sections and 1 mouse driver section exist. IMO it should be the other way round. Reassigning.
hwinfo detects detects two devices which an alps profile is assigned to, therefore you got two sections
Indeed. So the configuration should be ok including enabled vertical scrolling and disabled horizontal scrolling. You can change settings with synclient. See 'man synclient' and 'man synaptics'. Reassigning to our mouse/touchpad expert.

Thanks for the hint, David.
