Description Alexander Martynenko 2015-02-25 16:49:52 CET

Description of problem:

At laptop with clickpad (touchpad with one physical button and software
emulation of 3) only left button works after install.
For example, laptops Acer Extensa 2509 and Acer Espire E5-771.


How reproducible:

Install Mageia on laptop with clickpad and try to press at middle and right buttons. 

Way to fix:
For clickpads, add next parameters to  /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf :
Option "ClickPad" "1"
Option "SoftButtonAreas" "66% 0 82% 0 33% 65% 82% 0"
Option "AreaBottomEdge" "82%"



Reproducible:

We cannot blindly enforce such a default, it might break other laptops.
Can you write an udev rule that would match only this model and test it?
See http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-input-synaptics/tree/conf/50-synaptics.conf
especially the two latest rules

eg something like:

# This option disables software buttons on Apple touchpads.
# This option is only interpreted by clickpads.
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "Disable clickpad buttons on Apple touchpads"
FIXME=> MatchProduct "Acer|????????????"
        MatchDriver "synaptics"
        Option "ClickPad" "1"
        Option "SoftButtonAreas" "66% 0 82% 0 33% 65% 82% 0"
        Option "AreaBottomEdge" "82%"
EndSection

Ok:

#Acer new laptop clickpads (Acer 2509, 2510, E5-771 etc...)
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "Default clickpad buttons"
        MatchDriver "synaptics"
        MatchProduct "06CB:2970"
        Option "ClickPad" "1"
        Option "SoftButtonAreas" "66% 0 82% 0 33% 65% 82% 0"
        Option "AreaBottomEdge" "82%"
EndSection



Tested on 3 Acer laptops, works fine.
