Tap to click does not work consistently on Elan Touchpad Asus C302 - Gallium OS 2.1 beta and 2.0 #329

Open balfred opened 7 years ago

  1. Your Chromebook/Chromebox model hardware ID: ASUS Chromebook Flip C302 - CAVE
  2. Your firmware: stock/factory: mrchromebook
  3. Your installation method (ISO or chrx) : chrx and stable 2.1 beta
  4. A detailed description of the problem, and steps to reproduce it

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Go to Mouse and Touchpad settings.
  2. Select Elan Touchpad >> Select Touchpad Tab.
  3. Check the box to enable tap to click.
  4. Try using tap to click in various programs like chrome or navigating the menus in the OS. It will work sporadically but it requires "aggressive" tapping. **I have noticed that as I repeat steps 1-3, it has shown that the checkbox randomly becomes unchecked at times.

I reverted back to 2.0 to see if I would have the same problem still and I do. The tap to click is sketchy in 2.0 and 2.1. Let me know if there is any specific information that will help as I really want to use gallium but need the tap to work.

There's an updated touchpad config for CAVE in the "prerelease" repo which might help.

You can test it with:

sudo galliumos-repodist --enable prerelease
galliumos-update
reboot

This new config will probably be included in 2.1 final, which should release shortly (and at which point you can --disable the prerelease repo if you like.

Awesome thanks! I will try that. What was it that changed that you suspect will fix this problem?

balfred commented 7 years ago

Bummer, whatever the update was didnt work. Tap to click is still sporadic at best and the checkbox frequently changes its value on its own. If there is a way to confirm that I got the update applied successfully I am happy to look.

I'm experiencing a lot of "phantom" clicks as well, where after initially clicking somewhere, the mouse will register a second or even third click without my being even remotely close to the touchpad. Running latest.

I've been having problems with the Asus C302 touchpad and GalliumOS 2.1. Some notes:

The touchpad under Mint is okay, the touchpad under ChromeOS is fine, so I'm hoping that this issue is easily fixable. I have pulled down the Chromium OS source to see if I can see what parameters they are using for CAVE, but any suggestions for diagnostics / areas to look at would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, ChromeOS is no longer using Xorg, so using their trackpad drivers can be tricky. Additionally, I don't think we currently have any desire to work on the synaptics driver that ships with most other Linux distributions. It's not impossible, but highly improbable.

I also have a CAVE with 2.1 and I can confirm @brool 's report is still the case:

any selection of the touchpad from the drop down will toggle it

  1. open Settings » Mouse and Touchpad
  2. select Device » Elan Touchpad from the drop-down menu
  3. click on Touchpad tab
  4. make no additional changes / selections
  5. note that 'Tap touchpad to click' toggle indicates it's still selected
  6. close Mouse and Touchpad
  7. note that Tap to click no longer works
  8. open Mouse and Touchpad
  9. note that Device » Elan Touchpad » Touchpad tab » 'Tap touchpad to click' is disabled
