(Mini 10v) Touchpad drivers still don't work #2

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run netbook installer on Dell Mini 10v
2. Select "Install General Extensions"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The install succeeds. The new touchpad drivers are
installed. However, "click-drag" still causes the cursor
to jump all over the place. As best as I can tell, this seems
to affect about half the people on the Dell Mini 10v. The other
half it seems to work for. Maybe there's a slightly different
revision of the Synaptics hardware in some Mini 10v's?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.8.2RC2 - MacOSX 10.5.8

Th reason this happens when in absolute mode is because the trackpad is not 
multi touch capable. Since it 
cna only report one finger position, the firmware will often jump between the 
two fingers.  (one holding the 
button and one dragging).

The driver should relative mode will report movement correctly due to the 
firmware calculating the movement. 
This has the advantage that it known every finger position and can eliminate 
any jumping. The disadvantage 
is we cannot enable side scrolling or two finger scrolling.

It looks like I'll have to add an option to select between the two modes.

Interesting. That would explain the issue, but why are some users reporting 
that the
driver works? What are they doing to make things sane?

I'm not sure what the users re doing differently.

0.8.3 has a new touchpad driver. Marking this as fixed.
