Compatibility of tpconfig
Current 2.4 kernels (sarge, and etch: January 2005) in Debian should
work without issues.
(Older kernels may require a patch to make tpconfig to work properly.
Some examples are included here. )
New 2.6 series kernels which have mousedev module do not work with
this program. (At least for me. See below for alternative approaches.)
If you want to use a mouse device name other than "/dev/psaux", use
the "--device" option. This should enable device names such
"/dev/misc/psaux" etc. and hopefully should support devices like USB
touch pads.
$ sudo tpconfig --device=/dev/misc/psaux -i
If you face difficulty running tpconfig, please use the "--debug"
option to get diagnostic info.
$ sudo tpconfig --debug=3 -i
------------------------------------------------------------------------
[FYI] Alternative approaches:
If you are wondering how to disable tap under 2.6 kernel, there are
few methods to address your needs without using tpconfig
1. By kernel module
(If mousedev is already loaded, stop gpm and X and do "rmmod mousedev")
Invoke "modprobe mousedev tap_time=0"
(start gpm or x as needed)
2. With gpm on console:
(See README.synaptics.gz)
3. For X with /etc/X11/xorg.conf :
Add Option: SHMConfig and MaxTapTime as follows:
--------------
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "HorizScrollDelta" "0"
Option "SHMConfig" "on"
Option "MaxTapTime" "0"
EndSection
-------------
This SHMConfig should enable you to configure touch pad with GUI tools.
