Touchpad in Sony Vaio E14 - cannot click with a finger and drag with another - Ubuntu 12.04
- by Nabeel
I had the following issues with my Sony Vaio E14115's touchpad on Ubuntu 12.04:
Right click not working
Vertical scrolling not working
Then I followed these steps to fix it:
Downloaded a patch for Psmouse
sudo apt-get install dkms build-essential
cd ~/Desktop
tar jxvf psmouse-3.2.0-24-generic-pae.tar.bz2
sudo mv psmouse-3.2.0-24-generic-pae /usr/src
cd /usr/src
sudo chmod -R a+rx psmouse-3.2.0-24-generic-pae
sudo dkms add -m psmouse -v 3.2.0-24-generic-pae
sudo dkms build -m psmouse -v 3.2.0-24-generic-pae
sudo dkms install -m psmouse -v 3.2.0-24-generic-pae
sudo modprobe -r psmouse
sudo modprobe psmouse
This fixed me the problems of Rightclick and vertical scrolling.
But I still have an issue of not able to click and drag ie Clicking the leftmouse button and dragging with another finger. It doesn't move! Maybe it doesn't detect the 2nd finger.
When I check the capabilities of my Synaptics touchpad by using
xinput list-props "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"|grep Capabilities
I get the following output:
Synaptics Capabilities (304): 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1
Please help me out.
