i'm wondering if there's a way to enable the full potential of the elantech touchpad OoTB in Jaunty.
without modifying anything in xorg.conf or in other files the situation now is:
vertical scrolling with 2 fingers OK
3 fingers tap = right click OK
2 fingers tap = middle clik OK
i've readed that other options such, orizzontal 2 finger scrolling or mac-like zooming is also possible with new drivers from elantech...
has anyone figure out a procedure to make this happen?

Fewt suggested to add a few lines to his xorg.conf for Intrepid. Haven't had time to try it, yet.
What about this GPointingDevice, any good?

here's a jaunty topic, i don't know if that method works, but i doubt because i've noticed that the xorg.confS are even more empty with the time flowing...
that gpoint could be a solution but i don't want to compile it, i'll wait a deb vesion, and i'm not sure if that's only a configuration program or contains also a sort of driver... buh

Anyone else not like the driver for Jaunty? I booted up a Live system this morning, and the touchpad movement was much slower. Did they change the driver? In Intrepid, I have my mouse settings to the middle, and in Jaunty I maxed it out and it was still slow. Anyone else notice this?

Are you by any chance using the Remix?

nope, just regular jaunty

I don't see any difference between Jaunty, Intrepid, and Hardy. They all work fine on my 900.

working fine yes, but have you actually tried them? an out-of-the-box installation of jaunty just works as with intrepid you need to tweak big time to get mostly everything to work. so appearance is not everything, it's the power beneath it. speed and performance in jaunty is way better than intrepid. i don't even bother with hardy since it's older.

This thread is about the touchpad, and nothing else. Yes, I've actually tried them, and my touchpad worked the same in all three, no problems at all. Other things didn't work as well with the older versions, I agree.

I have the same problem with jaunty (netbook remix) on my 900a -- jumping all over the place. Haven't found a fix yet - am running with the latest updates.

I copied the xorg.conf I used for intrepid and changed the driver to UXA. I don't have any touchpad issues.
Would you mind posting the changes you made in xorg (the driver, I would guess) ? I don't have a copy of my old setup.
Thanks!

nice xorg. for me it helped somewhat but the mouse will still occasionally jump when i touch the touchpad and scrolling is now very slow

I have the same happening on a Jaunty Netbook Remix on the 701 while Easy Peasy Inprepid does not do it. What's more, when I tested UNR 9.04 the 1000H this didn't happen, but 701 and 1000H have different touchpads.

There is a bug report filed, it seems, for the jerky touchpad issue in jaunty - adding comments may help increase the priority.

Hi, I'm having exactly the same problem here: I tried Ubuntu Jaunty LIVE, starting it from USB stick and the mouse movement is very very slow. Is there any way to fix it?

I've had the same problem on USB Live and worried like you. But it appears its only a matter of the live distro, as after an installation the touchpad reacts normally.

This is really a good news for me! Thanks for your suggestion!

I also have the same problem - jerky cursor movement on main screen (jaunty netbook remix but not jaunty desktop on my 900 installed from Live USB).

There's a workaround for this jerky cursor. I've found it somewhere in this forum, but I don't remember in which topic.
Anyway, you need to add this line
options psmouse proto=imps
in /etc/modprobe.d/options (create the file option if it doesn't exist).
It fixes the slow cursor problem too.

I'll try this if I'll have more problems, thank you

I can confirm this makes a HUGE difference on my EeePC 901! Thanks for this tip, it's made it so I can stay with Jaunty after all. Now if only there was a fix for the intel drivers issue...
