[Bug 582809] Re: Synaptics Clickpad touchpad buttons are not working

 

I was bored and thought since I can't get the drivers to build I would
try something out for the heck of it. So I went ahead and got the suse
package from hp which can be found here:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=321957&prodSeriesId=5060880&swItem=ob-97383-1&prodNameId=5060882&swEnvOID=2020&swLang=13&taskId=135&mode=4&idx=0

After downloading it and finally getting it to extract I used alien to
convert it, included scripts, to a deb. Then I went ahead and installed
the deb. Surprisingly it installed and it even created menu entries eg:
Menu>Control Center>Hardware>Touchpad which points to
/opt/Synaptics/bin/SynTPCpl

I then ran this in terminal as su to check out what happens and
basically I'd guess there are invalid symlinks which isn't surprising,
but if anyone could check it out this is the first I received:

/opt/Synaptics/bin/SynTPCpl: error while loading shared libraries:
libwx_gtk2u-2.8.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory

I stopped here as I'm not sure if I'll ever have any real luck this
route or if the drivers will ever actually work this way, but I thought
it was worth a  shot lol.
