From: Carl on 5 Apr 2010 02:10 Hi everybody, this is my first post to the list. I have a new mbp 5, and I've been frustrated at the basicness of its operation compared to its functionality under osx. My original plan was to simply open up the bcm5974 and create a deadzone at the bottom of the touch pad so I could rest my thumb there and click. Configuration through synaptics doesnt seem to work for some reason. Anyway, to make a long story short, I had a bit too much fun with the trackpad and watching it track all 10 fingers, and now I'd like to implement some more advanced functionality. As a quick hack, I could theoretically do this inside the driver itself, but it would be better to write a new input handler. Is anyone currently working on something similar. I dont want to be reinventing the wheel. Cheers guys. -- Carl -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo(a)vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

Post-processing the output is probably better done in the synaptics driver at the X level. -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59(a)srcf.ucam.org -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo(a)vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ |
