Touchpad

#1 Post by sjsj »

Hello,

Sorry, I speak a little English.

My touchpad is not working when I log in to Debian. If I don't log in, it works.

Code: Select all

apt purge xserver-xorg-video-intel
I deleted the xserver-xorg-video-intel. Could this be a problem?

Please help me. Thanks!

Have you tried synaptics?

Code: Select all

$ aptitude search synaptics
v   xorg-driver-synaptics                    -                                                   
v   xorg-driver-synaptics:i386               -                                                   
p   xserver-xorg-input-synaptics             - Synaptics TouchPad driver for X.Org server

Deleting a video driver wont help your touchpad.

What desktop environment are you using? If Gnome, check settings>mouse and touchpad.
Other tweaks can be done with libinput.

Yes, Gnome. I try:

Code: Select all

apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel
But not works.

The laptop screen, when not working the touchpad: https://i.imgur.com/Msjbxlw.png

My another laptop screen, when working the touchpad: https://i.imgur.com/dMDgDJ9.png

Egér -> Mouse.
Érintőtábla -> Touchpad.

The Toucpad (Érintőtábla) section is missing the settings, when laptop not working the touchpad.

The wrong laptop /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf file is:

Code: Select all

# Match on all types of devices but joysticks
#
# If you want to configure your devices, do not copy this file.
# Instead, use a config snippet that contains something like this:
#
# Section "InputClass"
#   Identifier "something or other"
#   MatchDriver "libinput"
#
#   MatchIsTouchpad "on"
#   ... other Match directives ...
#   Option "someoption" "value"
# EndSection
#
# This applies the option any libinput device also matched by the other
# directives. See the xorg.conf(5) man page for more info on
# matching devices.

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "libinput pointer catchall"
        MatchIsPointer "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "libinput"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "libinput keyboard catchall"
        MatchIsKeyboard "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "libinput"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "libinput touchpad catchall"
        MatchIsTouchpad "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "libinput"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "libinput touchscreen catchall"
        MatchIsTouchscreen "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "libinput"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "libinput tablet catchall"
        MatchIsTablet "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "libinput"
EndSection
The good laptop file: 40-libinput.conf

Can you help me?

Perhaps the touchpad is kaput?
Does it show up in lsusb or lspci?
What about dmesg? Any clue there?
