Trackpad management for Acer Aspire One D255-2301
Trackpad management for Acer Aspire One D255-2301
I've been looking for a way to manage my trackpad properties for my Acer Aspire One D255-2301 (1.6 Ghz, 1gb RAM, 160 Gb HDD w/WinXP) running lupu 5.25 via USB flash.
I would like to be able to disable tap-to-click, but Mouse/Trackpad management disavows the trackpad as "not a Synaptic trackpad."
I think Wary used to be able to manage this trackpad (I could very well be wrong.)
Where should I look for info to do this? Forum search has not been lucky so far. TIA

Sorry I know too little. I do have the Acer D255 computer but never use it I also ahve an Acer D250 and use that one due to it is much more silent.
Both of them are supersensitive when one even have the hand or fingers just above the trackpad so it is annoying.
I solved it in a round about way. I use USB keyboard and USB mouse and that way I never have to touch the Netbook only at power on boot.
Try to use the more friendly search in my signature in case you only used the search in the forum. Try different search words.

Sorry Nooby;nooby wrote:MoebusNet Don't you give up now. rjbrewer has much knowledge on such things which I have witness many times in the forum so now when you have his attention then most likely you are in good hands.
I don't own a Acer, so can only make the obvious recommendations.

UPDATE: The only workaround I've been able to discover after viewing the Acer forums and others is this:
Function + F7 = touchpad disabled
Function + F7 again = touchpad reenabled
I still haven't discovered how to determine what touchpad I have without disassembling the netbook (I would sell it before I'd do that).

Bug #550625 at Launchpad
Bug #14660 at bugzilla.kernel.org (kernel regression)
This seems to be caused by the touchpad manufacturer's refusal to release enough information to write an open-source driver with full funtionality. The current functionality (PS/2 mouse) in Puppy seems to be all we can get until an improved driver is available.
Looks like I've hit a dead end until then. Thanks for the help, rjbrewer.

patches for alps touchpad
My touchpad is detected as an ImPS2 generic wheel mouse in puppy. WinXP claims it's an Alps touchpad.
I found some new patches at:
http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/ ... patch_for/
that address this issue. Could someone who knows about these things please see if these are of any usefulness?
TIA
