Actually, hardware tapping is enabled in gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.11-r4 Does it not work for you? We include this patch: http://web.telia.com/~u89404340/patches/touchpad/2.6.11/p00001_alps-hwtaps.patch *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 84657 *** Sorry, but I'm going to reopen this bug: Bug 84657 says that this problem was fixed in gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.11-r4, yet it was this kernel for which I reported the problem! As far as I can tell, on my Sony Z1 laptop with Alps touchpad, this issue is still causing problems even in 2.6.11-r4. The symptoms are: * Tapping and Double-tapping not working at all (have to use buttons) * Even when using buttons, selecting text is broken on console To elaborate this 2nd point: Even holding down the hardware left-button, moving the cursor too fast whilst selecting text or pausing for too long causes the driver to think that I've released and re-pressed the button, restarting the selection from the current location. This is not a hardware thing, since all previous kernels work fine. This only applies to (fb) consoles, rather than anything on X. |
