ELAN Touchpad double finger tap problem (on Asus ROG laptop)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi All,

My Asus ROG laptop has a touchpad with which I prefer to emulate the
MacBook trackpad's behavior. The ELAN was giving that feeling
perfectly (hats off) until recently.

The issue is, I expect the whole area of the touchpad to be double
finger tappable, but I can't double finger tap and get a button
click/release on the "right-button region on the trackpad, i.e., the
region designated as the right button on the trackpad ". Instead, it
fires a motion notify event when double-tapped on the right button
area, debugged with xev.

I thought, that could be hid input module issue but not an X11 or
display environment issue, because by not touching any other
component, but just altering the kernel, the problem can be
reproduced. Namely the 4.14 LTS kernel has no such problem, but the
4.17 and 4.18 series do, under the latest GNOME 3.28 display
environment on the current Arch distribution.

In order to further investigate it, unfortunately I have brief time to
test and work on directed quick hacks if anyone suggests but cannot
dedicate longer time on this unfortunately. Just wanted to tip off
those who might be having this issue and be having an idea.

Kind Regards,
M.K.
