[Bug 550625] Re: Alps touchpad is recognized but synaptics clients and scrolling do not work

 

Greetings.

do you get accidental "grabs" as you try to move the cursor?  I never
noticed this in the psmouse dkms patch version 0.2, but in 0.9, it
happens often. Moving the cursor toward top with a few finger brushes
does not always select a region, but sometimes it does.

Is that likely related to this weird thing that happens sometimes. I
remove hands from typing, lifting them off the laptop entirely. WHen I
start typing again, the cursor is in an entirely different spot. It is
as if the protection from palm brushes had failed, but in a worse than
usual way.

This is a Dell Precision M4600.

Here are my synaptics settings right now:

~$ synclient -l
