[Bug 681904] Re: [arrandale] Samsung QX310/QX410/QX510/SF310/SF410/SF510/NF210/RF410/RF510/RF710 trackpad/touchpad not recognized

 

Ehr... as almost expected (but I didn't test that right away yesterday
because I was at home and have been using a mouse):

Right click is not working yet.

I expected that because the Touchpad has a somehow really crooked
design. There IS basically only one "button". And it's not a button. The
design resembles that of the apple macbook touchpads, in that you can
physically "click" it. But in contrast to the macbook's, the SF510's
touchpad can only be clicked in a defined region at the bottom. In the
top corners you CAN not click it by design, and the fact that you can
click it right in the middle, I consider a manufacturing flaw. The
clickable region is defined with a line that is imprinted on the
touchpad surface and another line devides that region into a left and
right part, which is, with the microsoft driver, used to distinguish
between right and left click. It works, but it's crooked, because the
driver software has to generate a left OR a right click event from ONE
physical click signal, depending on where the finger is, during the
click.

The lines on the touchpad and exact measurements of the touch sensitive
area in mm look like this.
