[Bug 1305522] Re: Backport Synaptics HID touchpad driver for 14.04

 

Hello,

I have forgotten to say that an external USB mouse is working well when
the touchscreen both docked and undocked has some missing capabilities
as the scrolling.

Now, I'm getting the following in a terminal on my HP Spectre 13 x2 with
Ubuntu 14.04-1 64-bit and Kernel 3.13.0-32-generic:

joe@PC-Joe-S13x2:~$ xinput --list
⎡ Virtual core pointer                    	id=2	[master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer              	id=4	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ HID 04d9:0499                           	id=9	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard                   	id=3	[master keyboard (2)]
    ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard             	id=5	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Power Button                            	id=6	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Video Bus                               	id=7	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ HP TrueVision Full HD                   	id=8	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard            	id=10	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ HP Wireless hotkeys                     	id=11	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ HP WMI hotkeys                          	id=12	[slave  keyboard (3)]
Looks like the Synaptics touchpad is: HID 04d9:0499 id=9 [slave  pointer  (2)]

joe@PC-Joe-S13x2:~$ dmesg | grep psmouse
joe@PC-Joe-S13x2:~$ lsmod | grep psmouse
Both give no output.

joe@PC-Joe-S13x2:~$ xinput --list-props 9

But I can't interpret these data.

joe@PC-Joe-S13x2:~$ evtest /dev/input/eventX
evtest: No such file or directory

joe@PC-Joe-S13x2:~$ xev
Outer window is 0x4600001, inner window is 0x4600002
is working but only with the external USB mouse.

Thanks.
Joe
