I've tried it, with 2.6.34 kernel it's really simple, now finally horizontal scroll works and touchpad is disabled while typing!!
Here's an how-to (you have to install 2.6.34 kernel first):
Code:
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf
paste this:
Code:
options psmouse force_elantech=1
save and close.
Let's enable fn+F9 button:
Code:
sudo gedit /etc/acpi/asus-touchpad.sh
delete everything and paste this:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
[ -f /usr/share/acpi-support/state-funcs ] || exit 0
. /usr/share/acpi-support/power-funcs
if (! test -x /usr/bin/xinput)
then
logger "Error: Please install package xinput to enable toggling of touchpad devices."
exit 0
fi
# if this is the right behavior, then this should be moved out of acpi-support
# to hal (or whatever is replacing hal for such events)
getXconsole
XINPUTNUM=`xinput list | grep 'ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad' | sed -n -e's/.*id=\([0-9]\+\).*/\1/p'`
[ -f /usr/share/acpi-support/state-funcs ] || exit 0
# get the current state of the touchpad
TPSTATUS=`xinput list-props $XINPUTNUM | awk '/Synaptics Off/ { print $NF }'`
# if getting the status failed, exit
test -z $TPSTATUS && exit 1
if [ $TPSTATUS = 0 ]; then
xinput set-int-prop $XINPUTNUM "Synaptics Off" 8 1
if [ -e /sys/class/leds/asus::touchpad/brightness ]; then
echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/asus::touchpad/brightness
fi
else
xinput set-int-prop $XINPUTNUM "Synaptics Off" 8 0
if [ -e /sys/class/leds/asus::touchpad/brightness ]; then
echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/asus::touchpad/brightness
fi
fi
save and close.
Now reboot, go to mouse preferences, now there's a "Touchpad" tab!!
Enable two finger scrolling and horizontal scrolling.
You'll notice that 2 finger and 3 finger tap is inverted now, so let's revert it and set up touchpad feeling.
To me, this is the best setting, open a terminal:
Code:
synclient MinSpeed=1 MaxSpeed=1 AccelFactor=0 TapButton2=2 TapButton3=3
if touchpad is too speedy, reduce MinSpeed and MaxSpeed to 0.7, find your values!!
Once you've found good values, put that command in a new entry on System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications
I've also updated my #110 post.
