I have IgnoreThumb and BottomEdge enabled, which seems to do a good job of rejecting my thumb. However, when my thumb is on the trackpad within the bottom edge zone, one additional finger is touching the trackpad, and a click is made, a right-click occurs.
mtrack seems to recognize the thumb resting within the bottom edge as an additional finger, which trigges the right-click.
I have tried your development branch as well, with the same results. I was going to try and bisect through some previous commits, but unfortunately the older revs wouldn't compile for me.

When trying to reach to an exact pixel, when moving very slowly the cursor jumps 3-6 pixels. This only happens if I leave the cursor still for a bit and then move. If I move continuously the cursor doesn't jump.

Currently the horizontal and vertical distances and timings for horizontal and vertical swiping are linked. This causes issues when one wishes to use different axes for different functionality. For instance, vertical for scrolling and horizontal for browser back/forward. Allowing the axes to be configured independently will allow better control over this use case.

I am having issues with single clicks being mistaken for double clicks based when my 'pointing' finger is still touching the pad. For example, when moving the cursor quickly to a target, and then clicking it... I am getting about 50% single click, and 50% double click. I may be able to tweak this with the FingerHigh/FingerLow options, but I think this could be more precise.

My usage is as follows:

• I disable all 'tapping' functionality
• I guide the cursor with my index or middle finger
• I single and double click with my thumb
• I two finger click with my index/middle fingers together

The trouble I'm having is that my thumb/index finger together are being mistaken for a two finger click, as well as a two finger scroll. I tried the patch from Pull Request #38, however I don't think that this helps me at all. For my use case:

• I want to 'IgnoreThumb' while moving the cursor... because it tends to linger around the trackpad... I can also accomplish this with the 'BottomEdge' setting. However...
• I do not want to ignore the thumb on click, because I single/double click with it

I think the following would be good improvements:

• Differentiate between IgnoreThumb on click vs IgnoreThumb touching the track pad as they are entirely different
• Provide an option to specify the distance between fingers for two/three finger gestures. Meaning... When I two finger click with my index/middle fingers... there is very little distance. If I could set that option, the my thumb and index together would no longer be mistaken for a two finger gesture because the distance is further apart (atleast where clicking is concerned).

I hope this all makes sense... Please let me know if I can clarify anything, or if you have any suggestions to my issues.

Thanks!

I'm using a ASUS N76V Notebook. The integrated Touchpad won't work with the mtrack module. Running on an up-to-date Arch Linux with the designated AUR-Package.

EDIT: I figured that I was using synaptics driver and not mtouch. (was a seperate file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d). If I enable mtouch and remove synaptics, touchpad stops working. First I will figure that out and then come for help here if needed.

Things that are working:

• One finger tap to left-click.
• Two finger tap to right click.
• Three finger tap to paste from PRIMARY_CLIPBOARD
• Two finger up/down scrolling in apps

I have checked by starting

$xbindkeys -n -mk

and I can see all the buttons 1,2,3,4 & 5 being displayed in terminal.

But, if I try three finger swipe, 4 finger swipe, nothing works.. No buttons are emitted. Nothing comes up in the terminal so my guess is it's not being detected.

My xorg.conf: http://sprunge.us/NZRc?bash
Xorg.0.log: http://sprunge.us/TWHW
Versions of packages installed: http://sprunge.us/ASYI
lsusb -v: http://sprunge.us/IbBI

Please note that I am using InputDevice instead of InputClass because when I tried to add MatchIsTouchpad" option and change toInputClass, my xorg.conf complained (line 8) as it asInputDevice` in it.

To enable pinch zoom, show desktop etc, at least I first have to detect & then only I can use xbindkeys.

Am I missing something obvious? Please tell me if you need any more info. Btw, I am running a Macbook Pro 7.1

This is more of a feature request, but having a realtime configuration utility with sliders, buttons, etc, would be pretty awesome.

Hi, the synaptics driver suddenly took over from mtrack and was reporting my touchpad as a synaptics device (apple magic touchpad in fact) Lost much of the functionality in the process. My fix:
sudo cp /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-mtrack.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/60-mtrack.conf and restart X (or relogin or reboot)
note change of name to "60-mtrack.conf" so it executes after synaptics driver. could this filename be changed by default in /usr/share/... to foreclose this from happening in the first place?

really looking forward to coasting...
Thanks for this great driver.

The basic problem I'm having is that when I use the mtrack driver with my "Magic Trackpad", I don't get any motion, or any other indication that the touch-sensitive part of the trackpad is working. Clicking on the pad (with the physical clicker that it has) gives me a click event, so I can use a different mouse to move the cursor over a link or something and then use the trackpad's mechanical click to select the link, but other than that the pad seems to be totally disabled. I'm using xf86-input-mtrack-0.1.1 with xorg-server-1.9.5 in Gentoo (I see there's a 0.2.0 tagged in git, but no ebuild for it yet in portage). I have the following 99-magictrackpad.conf in my /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d directory:

Section "InputClass"
  MatchIsTouchpad "true"
  Identifier      "Touchpads"
  Driver          "mtrack"
  #Driver          "synaptics"
  #MatchUSBID      "05ac:030e"
  #Option          "TrackpadDisable" "0"
EndSection

which I'm pretty sure is being used. If I switch the comment from the synaptics line to the mtrack line, then my trackpad works, but with the synaptics behaviour instead of the mtrack behaviour that I'd like to try. When I'm using the mtrack driver, xinput list-props gives me this:

Device 'Apple Wireless Trackpad':
        Device Enabled (142):   1
        Coordinate Transformation Matrix (144): 1.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 1.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 1.000000

        Device Accel Velocity Scaling (264):    10.000000

With the synaptics driver I get a ton of options, so I'd expect to see the documented mtrack options here as well, so maybe that's useful. The xorg.log stuff for the trackpad is this:

And the only other thing I can think of that might be useful is the starting output of "evtest /dev/input/event7":

If I drag my finger across the trackpad, I do get tons of events, with different events for differing number of fingers. If there's anything else I can do to help get this working, I'd be happy to.

HI,

I have dispad installed. But it does not disable touchpad when typing. Do I need to do any configuration to let mtrack to use dispad? By the way, Selecting text block by pressing left bottom button and moving another finger on the trackpad is not reliable, sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. Similarly, moving windows by the same method is not reliable.

Here is /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/60-mtrack.conf :

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Touchpads"
Driver "mtrack"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
Option "PalmSize" "28"
Option "DisableOnPalm" "on"
Option "DisableOnThumb" "on"
Option "FingerHigh" "7"
Option "FingerLow" "7"
Option "Sensitivity" "0.75"
Option "ScrollDistance" "80"
Option "ClickFinger1" "3"
Option "TapButton2" "3"

EndSection

Here is the unmodified ~/.dispad. It was generated only after I ran dispad manually.

When using the mtrack driver, the access to the hot corners is disabled. How can I debug/test this?

The mtrack driver should support disabling the trackpad while typing. This depends on properties support.

Add an xinput property for FingerHigh and FingerLow.

At first I couldn't figure out how to compile your repos at all, then I found documentation in the dev branch of the dispad repo that told me to use autoreconf

I've deduced some build requirements from make error messages, but I am still unsure of others

 autoreconf -i
Can't exec "libtoolize": No such file or directory at /usr/bin/autoreconf line 196.
Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at /usr/bin/autoreconf line 196.
configure.ac:17: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DISABLE_STATIC
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:18: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1

Is there a canonical list of requirements I should install before building?

And thanks for putting out these programs, I look forward to using them!

HI,

I am trying to compile the git version, but got the following error. I am sure that xorg-macros 1.13.0 is installed. What could be wrong. Thanks:

bash-4.1# automake
configure.ac:21: error: must install xorg-macros 1.8 or later before running autoconf/autogen
configure.ac:21: the top level

Hi,
Thanks for your driver, I'm running version 0.3.0 on a Gentoo (kernel 3.9.0-rc1) with the Cypress trackpad.

There are few copy and past mistakes in the README documentation:

• RotateRightButton says the default is 14 but it actually is 15.
• ScrollDownButton is mentioned twice, but I guess you meant ScrollRightButton for the second.

I've uploaded mtrack-documentation-fixes.diff patch to gist:
https://gist.github.com/AndreMiras/5128330

I've been using xf86-input-mtrack on centos 6.3 with great success. But after upgrading to the version 6.4 I'm not being able to compile it anymore. I get the following error:

Is there anything I can do about it?

Thank you very much.

Add support for four finger tapping and swiping.

Two finger scrolling in the up direction is noticeably hesitant when starting out. Does not occur when down scrolling.

I'm trying to use my Magic Trackpad. For some reason I can't scroll down or to the right, while up and left works fine. I'm using mtrack 0.3.0 on xorg-server 1.13.1, bluez 4.101-r5, kernel 3.8.4-gentoo.

I enabled debugging.

It looks somehow like scrolling down is either flat out not detected or is detected as a rotate. This may be related to the fact that occasionally when middle clicking (three tap) the mouse pointer goes flying.

I'm not sure exactly what the issue is, but it looks like some sort of integer wrapping issue may be happening:
(II) is_thumb: no -2147483648 > 70 && 0 > 25

The trackpad works fine on another computer with mtrack.

[This is using a early MacBook Air]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Move mouse with one finger
2. Add another finger while still keeping the first finger
3. Click mouse button

Result: preforms leftclick
Expected result: preform rightclick.

Hi,

With xserver 1.16, mtrack is not able to work properly anymore. As I am using debian, I've filled a bug report[0]. I recompiled the driver with latest xorg version, and even if the driver is loaded, the mouse pointer behaves incorrectly. It only appears when it is near to the corners of the screen. Do you think it is possible to solve this problem?

If you need more information, do not hesitate to contact me.

Thanks,

Hello.

I just installed mtrack from AUR on my HP ProBook 4520s with Synaptics ClickPad (it looks like this: http://www.nb-guide.info/images/stories/34/464.jpg ). The problem is that my touchpad seems too sensitive for your driver — and I'm not talking about "Sensitivity" option, but "FingerLow" and "FingerHigh". I think that 100/100 is not enough for my notebook: I can move mouse cursor without even touching the touchpad, moving my finger in the air over it.

Hope you'll help. And yeah, shame about my English, feel free to correct me.

No matter what values I change TabButton{1,2,3}, I always get onefinger tap as left click, two-button tap as middle-click & three-finger tap as right click.

Xinput properties not implemented.

For trackpads with a single, integrated button (such as newer MacBooks) there should be an alternative button emulation which would use the location of the finger doing the clicking to determine which button to emulate. This would reproduce the feel of a three-button trackpad.

I don't know if this is more related to chromium, but:
The three-finger-swipe actions in chromium/firefox is at the moment up (to go back) and down (to go forward). Left and right swipes doesn't do anything. Couldn't it be better if this was uniform with the behavior in OSX where back/forward is left/right and up/down is if I remember correctly, page up/down (or basically just to-the-top-of-page and the other way around).

The button labels as reported by xinput are incorrect. The button labels are a hold-over from xf86-input-multitouch and need to be corrected.

Three finger tapping is not responsive. Sometimes it takes multiple attempts to do a three finger tap, usually producing two finger taps in the process.

I have the ignore palm option set with a fairly small threshold for palm detection. However I can always trigger a click if I rest my palm right near the edge of the trackpad. This results in the cursor moving or the active windows changing whilst typing which is very frustrating.

Tap-to-drag is unusable. Needs recoding to match how the rest of the world implements it.

Hi,

After the recent (about two weeks ago) xorg update and related package updates for xf86*, xf86-input-mtrack fails to function (i.e. no mouse movement associated with trackpad touches). I can run xf86-input-synaptics with no problems. I've been troubleshooting this since the initial update and am now just spinning my wheels. I've tried reinstalling, websearching, and reading through wiki's and man pages to understand the problem, but I'm not cracking it. My system (Arch) is up to date, and I'm working off xf86-input-mtrack-git from the AUR. I'm hoping that since no one else has posted this problem, that there is a simple fix that I am overlooking. Here is output from Xorg.0.log:

37.396 LoadModule: "mtrack"

Any help is appreciated. :)

Hi,

Is there any way to swap touchscreen axes? When I move my finger up, the cursor goes left, when I move it down then cursor goes right and so on. I tried using Coordinate Transformation Matrix, but that didn't seem to change anything. I'm using an android tablet with a chrooted Debian install, with a rotated framebuffer to display in landscape.

Thanks for your help in advance

Conditions

New install of Ubuntu 11.10

Ran "http://almostsure.com/mba42/post-install-oneiric.sh", a post-install script for MacBook Air running Ubuntu 11.10 which reports to have mtrack working fine. The script failed to download and install mtrack. However, it did succeed with the other things it claims to get working.

Installation Method

dpkg-buildpackage
cd ..
sudo dpkg --install xserver-xorg-input-mtrack_0.2.0_amd64.deb

Added the following to xorg.conf:

    Section "InputClass"
        MatchIsTouchpad "on"
        Identifier      "Touchpads"
        Driver          "mtrack"
    EndSection

Issues

• Touchpad didn't work after restarting X.
• Xorg log can't find "mtrack" driver.
• Module files in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/ are named "mtrack_drv.so" and "mtrack_drv.la". Rename
  these and Xorg now finds the driver.
• Xorg failes to completely load the module: "(EE) module ABI major version (13) doesn't match the
  server's version (12)" I tried to edit the field in mtrack.c (yes, hackish) but I can't understand CARD8
  data type, nor can I find a definition for it.
  • Can't progress further.

Additional Information

• /var/log/Xorg.0.log
• /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Hi, thanks for your awesome driver but I've got a question.
I there a way to specify "acceleration" of the pointer?

Hello,
after installing Debian on my new Thinkpad T431s, I wanted to exploit some features of mtrack, especially ClickFinger2 feature. My touchpad works with synaptics driver, however it does not seem to work at all with mtrack. My config is the simples one (/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-mtrack.conf)
Section "InputClass"
MatchIsTouchpad "true"
Identifier "Multitouch Touchpad"
Driver "mtrack"
EndSection

The module seems to be loaded correctly, but the cursor does not move at all. s Here is the corresponding piece of Xorg0.log.
Can you please point out what's wrong?

Thanks a lot,
cheers Tomas

Anyone know if this driver will be work with Logitech T650?
http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/touchpad-t650?crid=1153

When clicking with the thumb and forefinger down gives a two finger click gesture.

This is particularly tr a problem with the mac unibody touchpad as pressing with the thumb is the only way to click it.

Tested with v0.2.0.

Hi, I have this configuration file:

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-mtrack.conf

Section "InputClass"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
Identifier "Touchpads"
Driver "mtrack"

Option      "ClickFinger2"          "0"
Option      "ClickFinger3"          "0"

Option      "TapButton2"            "2"
Option      "TapButton3"            "3"

Option      "IgnoreThumb"           "yes"

Option      "TapDragEnable"         "no"

Option      "ScrollDistance"        "25"

EndSection

But the Option TapButton2 and TapButton3 does not overwrite the original one, so when i tap with 2 finger I will not get the context menu that I get instead with the 3 finger tap and when I tap with 2 finger on a chrome tab for example I get the tab close as if I do a middle mouse click.

Tap-to-drag on an Apple Magic Trackpad using mtrack (0.2, Ubuntu Natty/11.04 x64, built from git master cloned on 2011-07-27) appears to result in extraneous button clicks.

When I tap to drag, I get a button1 click (press then release) immediately followed by a drag. This is what my finger does on the trackpad to initiate the drag (fast tap quickly followed by long press with drag), but nonetheless, this isn't correct/expected driver behavior. In Windows, OS X, and the xorg-input-synaptics driver, that first click is suppressed if a drag is initiated properly.

Bad things happen: if I try to tap-and-drag a window by its titlebar, it maximizes and won't drag. If I tap-and-drag to select text in a window, I get the first full word selected (the double-click) then, as I keep my finger down, dragging works as expected.

It's most easily observed using "xinput test [device]" where a drag looks like this:

$ xinput test 10
...
button press   1 
button release 1 
button press   1 
motion a[0]=731 a[1]=-1318 
motion a[0]=726 a[1]=-1289 
motion a[0]=721 a[1]=-1264 
motion a[0]=719 a[1]=-1233 
motion a[0]=717 a[1]=-1205 
motion a[0]=717 a[1]=-1179 
button release 1 
...

So the drag is working, but it has that extraneous button press-release first.

There are no timestaps on this, so it's hard to see what's really happening. So I recompiled mtrack with DEBUG_GESTURES defined and ran xev (which includes timestamps) at the same time. The linked files (via pastebin) xev.log and mtrack.log (excerpted from Xorg.0.log) show what happens there.

xev.log: http://pastebin.com/hrBfs1VC
mtrack.log: http://pastebin.com/1njpNTQc

The linked xev.log and mtrack.log files show events from the same sequence of movement, so the timestamps can be correlated. The movements were:

Some pointer movement in the xev window (time=685082.775-685083.437)
a tap-and-drag (time=685085.439-685086.351)
More pointer movement (time=685088.702-685089.244)
another tap-and-drag (time=685092.168-685093.270)
More pointer movement (time=685094.935+)

I removed excess movement messages from the logs, leaving only a few in place around the button presses. I annotated the logs a little bit in square brackets, basically just to show where I removed excess movement messages and to delineate the separate movement sequences listed above.

Finally, below is a dump of "xinput list-props" on the trackpad device, so you can see the current property settings. I have tweaked some of the properties, but the same problem occurs at default settings.

(And maybe it's irrelevant, but why are the mtrack properties showing some synaptics entries? That's weird. There's no trace of synaptics in my Xorg.0.log. Huh.)

This is a great driver, and except for this problem (and the minor annoyance of the "sticky" upward scrolling, issue #18) it's just about perfect. I might submit a feature request or two, though . . .

I'm trying to use mtrack on my MacbookPro 8,1 on Centos 6.2.I could build it and installed it, but it seems that my touchpad is detected with minimal capabilities.

I could only load the driver using MatchUSBID. See details bellow:

Is my trackpad supported? Or is it a kernel issue? I have bcm5974 native kernel module installed. Tried to modprobe it manually.

Thanks

All fingers on the trackpad are counted towards button emulation when clicking the physical button. Fingers which are participating in movement, scrolling, swiping, etc should not be counted.

I can't click with two fingers ('right' click).
I can't scroll with two fingers.

Am I missing something? Thanks.

There are no packages for Lucid.

Not sure if this is the proper context for this question, but I found the closest related post here. Unfortunately, I am very new to automake.

I am having the exact same issue as described in the link above. I tried running "autoreconf -i" as suggested, but it fails with this output:

Can't exec "libtoolize": No such file or directory at /usr/bin/autoreconf line 189.

Does anyone have any advice on attacking this issue? Do I have the right approach to building, or should I be doing something else?

Edit: Apologies for the misplaced post. If anyone else has this issue, I found an updated file at ftp.x.org (http://ftp.x.org/pub/individual/util/). I downloaded the most recent version of util-macros (util-macros-1.16.2.tar.gz in my case) and configured it using the instructions in the included INSTALL file. I then manually copied the file to the appropriate location (/usr/share/aclocal/xorg-macros.m4 for me). I later needed to install libtool (sudo apt-get install libtool) and add a soft link to /usr/share/aclocal/ (ln -s /usr/bin/libtool /usr/share/aclocal/LIBTOOL); it finally built with "autoreconf -i".

Hi I'm using mtrack on a MacbookPro 5, 5 with linux mint 14 installed, but I'm noticing that thumb detection seems to work for everything but button clicks.

I put my thumb and index finger on the trackpad. Using my index finger I move the mouse over a button or something i want to click on and press down on my thumb. A right click is triggered instead of a normal click.

The driver needs an autoconf script which supports enabling the various levels of debug output. There's an initial version in the Gentoo ebuild bug http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=364033

When using the mtrack driver, I have to start all movment and make all taps and gesture on the upper 5% of the touchpad. Note that exatcly at this position there is a read line on the touchpad.

I tried to disable the ButtonEdge by setting it to 0 without success. evtest shows me normal behaviour everywhere on the touchpad, even QuadTaps.

This is my xinput watch-props output with the synaptics driver (i cannot copy and paste the output with mtrack and somehow xinput does not send the output to a pipe or a file, no clue why):
