Hi
I have installed Debian GNU/Linux 8.6 (jessie) on a laptop Packard Bell EasyNote ENTF71BM
I can't configure the Touchpad because debian doesn't recognize it. I've installed without problems xserver-xorg-input-synaptics; but with "synclient -l":
Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?
With "xinput":
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ MOSART Semi. 2.4G Keyboard Mouse id=11 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Sleep Button id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ MOSART Semi. 2.4G Keyboard Mouse id=10 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ VGA Webcam id=12 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=13 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Acer WMI hotkeys
No touchpad.
In other partition I have W7 and there the touchpad works well, no problem
¿Any idea?
Thanks in advance

Re: Debian not recognize Touchpad
What DE are you using? Gnome? If so, Gnome doesn't use the synaptics driver.
You may have to remove synaptics.
Code: Select all
apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-libinput

Re: Debian not recognize Touchpad
I think a lot of DE's support libinput now, e.g. Gnome,, KDE, XFCE, LXDE, etc.epicteto wrote:Lxde
Try my suggestion anyway.

Re: Debian not recognize Touchpad
Hi phenest
Jessie haven't package xserver-xorg-input-libinput
I upgrade to testing and install that package. Unistall synaptics, but:
egrep -i 'synap|alps|etps' /proc/bus/input/devices...
Nothing !!!
dmesg | grep -i touch ...
Nothing !!!
"Xinput" nothing change
"Lsmod" doesn't show libinput module
¿?

Re: Debian not recognize Touchpad
Do you have the mouse turned on? I have a Dell laptop and I can turn the touchpad on/off with Fn+F3.

Re: Debian not recognize Touchpad
I have the same problem. The command "synclient -l" return:
And the command "xinput" returned:
I use Gnome, and when I try "apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-libinput", return:
What can I do?
Code: Select all

Re: Debian not recognize Touchpad
I've seen newer kernel versions automagically get some alps touchpads working. This page http://www.notebookcheck.net/Packard-Be ... 595.0.html also says you have Bay Trail graphics, so you may not have full hardware acceleration, which also can be cured by a new kernel and Intel video driver from jessie-backports. You can check your current situation by installing inxi and posting the terminal output of
here in a code box. Gallium and llvmpipe in the graphics output mean poor acceleration.
Code: Select all
