[Bug 582809] Re: Synaptics Clickpad touchpad buttons are not working

[DeeKay]

I'd like to reopen the bug, but being a n00b i probably am not allowed
to.

Anyhow, I'm having the same problem with a HP Pavilion dv7 3051sg. It's
from the same generation as the HP Envy15, so it is likely to be the
same touchpad - at least dmesg says the same thing as above.

The patch works in so far that I can actually left/right click on the
lower parts of the clickpad that have been labeled as the trackpad
buttons - but a click is not registered while there's still a finger on
the touchpad! I have to lift the finger from the touchpad, then click on
the button areas below, then place the finger on the touchpad again in
order to e.g. drag & drop.

Also, as soon as two fingers (such as when dragging and clicking at the
same time) are on the clickpad, the cursor quite often jerks to the left
suddenly.

I assume this has got to do with the master/slave click-approach on
multitouch touchpads...

Tried getting SHMConfig to work by enabling it in xorg.conf, but
synclient -m 50 still tells me that it cannot access the shared memory
area...
