Reduce sensitivity of laptop touch pad
Reduce sensitivity of laptop touch pad
Hi
I am using Compaq 620 laptop with Intel Celeron processor
My puppy is lucid Puppy 5.1.1, frugal install and on an SD Card
It looks like my laptop's touch pad is very sensitive inside puppy and so even if I just move my cursor over some icons or windows, it some times randomly clicks it
Any ideas on how to resolve this?
Also, if I go to setup -> Mouse/Keyboard wizard -> Configure your touch pad, I get a message "Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics drivers loaded?"
Thanks

Hello,
Yes, if you got that far, the flsynclient should be loaded,
or else it will ask you to restart X windows..
Amongst the tabs will be a sensitivity setting..
My Compaq CQ-56 has the same "over sensitive" problem...
I had to turn it WAY down....

One guy told us to go below 1 this way. 0.5 or maybe 0,5 don't remember.
Mine was so sensitive that I use a USB Mouse instead and an external real USB keyboard to not be near the ultra sensitive touch pad.
Edit comment to r1tz . It is a secret Thermin music control

Hi everyone
I followed your instructions and was able to get the flsynclient to run and also was able to reduce the sensitivity of the touchpad, however, when I tap it it's not detecting a click, and sometimes the cursor just erratically jumps to random locations on the screen. Also, the verticle scrolling at the right edge of the touchpad is working, but sometimes for very brief moments, the verticle scrolling feature becomes transparent, as if it was not present, and very rarely, at odd moments it automatically detects a click. In fact, this happened then I was trying to write "Hi" at the beginning of this post, but has not happened upto this point. I want it to move as smoothly as it does with the Windows 7 that was shipped with this laptop. Any ideas on how I can do this? I also don't understand what few of the sliders in the flsynclient window do. Where can I get detailed information about this? Also, the tooltip above the save button says "saving to ~./flsynclient" but I don't seem to be able to open it using geany, and typing flsynclient at the console just opens up the touchpad configuration window.
What should I do now?
Thanks in advance.

Go into /root/ in your filemanager. set it to show hidden files. Load the file .flsynclient into a text editor (right click, select 'open as text') Look for the entry 'clickfinger3=' and set the value to '1', so : clickfinger3= 1mahaju wrote:Hi everyone

Also disabling touchpad when writing might help. I have made a pet of my configuration. Restarting X is needed.
The pet should disable touchpad when writing and touchpad start to work almost immediately when you stop writing. It has helped my problem.

Could you please give me somfe information as to how your system works? Is it like a keylogger that continuously checks if keyboard key has been pressed? And is this going to solve my erractically jumping cursor problem?
That pet disables touchpad when writing. It uses syndaemon to do that. My pet has rules how syndaemon behaves. Nothing else. Usually best way to see if the pet has positive effects, is to install the pet and test it yourself. If it does not, uninstall the pet.
