Re: Sentelic Touchpad Configuration is Not Possible
Dudes, i've found the solution!
I'm a new linux-user, so i've spent a couple hours trying to find out the solution, and nothing was working, til' i found something:
That "patched kernel" solution consists of installing the driver trough patching the kernel, so it would recognize the touchpad, and then using the configuration utility provided by Sentelic.
The awesome part is: The Ubuntu team has included the drivers for the Sentelic Touchpad in the current kernel for 10.04 version! So all you have to do is install the configuration utility.
Download FSPC through this link:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/fsp-lnxdrv/ Install the software and run with the following command:
sudo fspc
(if you don't do the sudo it won't save your preferences in the utility).
With this you can get the same thing the kernel compillers get without doing anything complicated!
Good Luck guys!
EDIT: If you did those steps, you can realize that after you reboot, it won't save your preferences, so here's a tutorial to fix this issue. After you install FSPC as above do the following steps:
#1- Open Gedit Text Editor and copy-paste the following (in red):
EnableOnPadClick=0
EnableVScr=1
EnableHScr=1
Acceleration=2
Note that you can change this settings, as "0" means "off" and "1" means "on", except for "acceleration", because the number means how much sensible it is. This are my settings (no click on touchpad, vertical scroll, horizontal scroll, and sensibility 2).
#2 - Save your preference file as "fspc.ini", in the following directory:
[username]/fspc/ - Just create a fspc folder in you personal folder.
#3 - Rename you "fspc" folder to ".fspc" - It should make the folder dissapear after you press F5 key, but that's the way, ".something" makes the folder invisible.
#4 - Open Gedit again and now you paste the following:
#! /bin/bash
sudo fspc -t -l ~/.fspc/fspc.ini
#5 - Save this new file as "start-touchpad" in your personal folder (the one that has your user name).
#6 - Right-button click your new created file -> properties -> permissions; and check the "execute as a program" 'or something like that' box (sorry, my ubuntu is in portuguese), now you close the properties.
#7 - Open up a new terminal and do the following commands:
sudo cp start-touchpad /usr/bin/
sudo visudo
#8 - After the "sudo visudo" command, it should open an "in terminal" text editor, and you should paste the following line at the END of the file (it should be the last line):
[username] ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/fspc
Change the "[username]" thing to your actually username. As in my example:
miguel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/fspc
#9 - Now you press Ctrl+S to save your file and don't save the file as sudoers.tmp! Remove the TMP extension, so the file will be "/etc/sudoers", and confirm as it asks you to do.
Now for the grand finale:
#10 - In the top of your screen go to System->Preferences->Startup Applications (or Sessions, depending on your ubuntu version). Add a new program: as the following:
NAME: Anything...
COMMAND: start-touchpad
COMMENTARY: it doesn't matter
Now, when you reboot your pc, the touchpad will be exactly as you configured!
If you want to see the future results without rebooting do the following command in the terminal:
start-touchpad
Good look to you guys! And cheers to linux!
