[Bug 902839] Re: left click and drag = eratic mouse movement

 

i have solved my problem, but created a new one :)

i can now right/left click and also click and drag with perfection using
the following code:

Section "InputClass"
 Identifier "touchpad catchall"
 MatchIsTouchpad "on"
 MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
 Driver "synaptics"
 Option "SHMConfig" "on"
 Option "JumpyCursorThreshold" "150"
EndSection

in /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf/10-synaptics.conf

but unfortunately i can no longer scroll, and there are no longer any
settings for scrolling or tap clicking in my mouse settings gui. also
tap to click is no enabled but i don't know how to turn it off.


** Description changed:

+ i have installed 10.04 netbook ed. on my hp mini 210. everything is
  updated, as far as the update manger wants anyway. i tried the fix
  setting it up as a psmouse which worked sort of but then i could not
  scroll. so i reverted those changes.
  
  what is happening is when i left click and drag a second finger across
  the pad to move the cursor the mouse is all over the map, making it
  unusable. if i left click and simply drag that finger up or right, as
  those are my only options :) , that works fine. so it must be something
  with ignoring my clicking finger once the button is pressed. i thought i
  had it fixed setting the jumpy cursor thresh to about 200 but that seems
  to no longer be working, which is strange. any ideas?
