Not working with Acer TimelineX 3820tg

[aproposnix]

When trying to use Touchpad-Indicator with an Acer TimelineX 3820tg, nothing happens. The trackpad is always working.

[aproposnix (aproposnix)]

Sorry, I was in a hurry and forgot to mention that I am running Ubuntu 10.10.

I believe that my system is detecting the touchpad as a ps/2 mouse. could this be the issue? If so, any way to workaround that?

Could you send the otuput of xinput?

Thanks!

Touchpad-Indicator is not working on my Dell Latitude E6510 either, I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 + Touchpad-Indicator 0.7.6.2.

The output of xinput --list is:

⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Nano Cordless Mouse id=10 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ ImPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint id=13 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
    ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]

Please could you send the output for id=13:

 xinput --list-props 13

This is what I need to solve the problem

Output of xinput --list-props 13 is:

Atareao,

Thnx

Manuel,
What laptop are you using? On my Acer TimelineX 3820tg, I still am not able to get it to work.

Harry I order to solve this bug I need that you run this script in a terminal and send the output.

Put the script in /usr/share/touchpad-indicator/

and run it:

python /usr/share/touchpad_indicator/testing_touchpad_detection.py

Output, similar to this one:

This is the script to test your configuration.

Thanks

All I get is this (please note, I don't have a mouse connected, only the track-pad):

root@met:/usr/share/touchpad-indicator# python ./testing_touchpad_detection.py

Hi, Just an update... I installed the new version this morning but it's not working with the TimelineX unfortunately.

[Miguel Ángel Santamaría Rogado (gabiel)]

Hello harry,

I'm changing the mouse detection in touchpad-indicator. If you can, run the attached script and copy the output.

Put the script in /usr/share/touchpad-indicator; the output can be very long, so better direct it to a file and attach it.

Regards, Miguel Angel.
