Following up.... reading http://wiki.freebsd.org/AsusEee under "Touchpad
(synaptics) configuration" it says:
- - Disable moused in rc.conf
- - Add hw.psm.synaptics_support=1 to loader.conf
- - pkg_add -r synaptics and edit Xorg.conf according to synaptic's
pkg-message
I think the package information is out of date. I see no synaptics
package. Likely candidates include:
x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics
x11/libsynaptics
x11/gsynaptics
Only the latter seems to have a pkg-message. I tried that. It (and
about 50 other packages) installed cleanly.
I altered the mouse input device in /etc/X11/xorg/conf:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
# Driver "mouse"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "SHMConfig" "on"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection
and made the changes contained within/usr/ports/x11/gsynaptics/pkg-message:
- - /etc/rc.conf
- - /boot/loader.conf
- - downside of that is I get no cursor on the console
reboot.
I see this output from sysctl:
hw.psm.synaptics.directional_scrolls: 1
hw.psm.synaptics.low_speed_threshold: 20
hw.psm.synaptics.min_movement: 2
hw.psm.synaptics.squelch_level: 3
I ran gsynaptics and unchecked "enable tapping". I can still tap.
Restarted X. Can still tap.
I wonder if the init process is failing, because if I run this from the
console, I get:
$ gsynaptics-init
(gsynaptics-init:1097): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
