Dear Maintainer,
I just set up a Lenovo T440p and defined a config file for the soft buttons
on the top since they did not work:
# /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/thinkpad_clickpad.conf
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "tp only with clickpad buttons"
MatchDriver "synaptics"
# Option "SoftButtonAreas" "RBL RBR RBT RBB MBL MBR MBT MBB"
Option "SoftButtonAreas" "75% 0 0 35% 52% 75% 0 35%"
Option "HasSecondarySoftButtons" "off"
Option "AreaBottomEdge" "1" #disable moving but not buttons
EndSection
After that I noticed that the buttons work at first but after a about 30
seconds they
stop working. I can't click anything.
I reenabled the touchpad (AreaBottomEdge) to see if it makes a
difference but it
stops working the same moment, even without clicking at that moment.
Events are still visible when using evtest. But I can't say if they are
correct
or something, there are events when pressing the pad and the coordinates
appropriate when moving.
I would be nice if you could look into it. There is the xorg log with
information
about the Clickpad.
