如何方便控制笔记本触摸板

笔记本的鼠标触摸板我基本上很少用，比起外接鼠标还是没那么方便灵活，何况写程序的时候基本上很少用鼠标，但是笔记本的触摸板却在写程序的时候经常搞得鼠标指针胡乱飘移，非常影响键盘输入的准确性。

在linux下控制触摸板必须得使用2.6.x内核，大致有几件事要做：正确配置内核、安装synaptics驱动、正确配置xorg.conf。

1、配置内核

Linux Kernel Configuration: Enable synaptics support

Device Drivers ---> Input Device Support ---> <*> Event Interface [*] Mouse ---> <*> PS/2 mouse

2、安装synaptics，在gentoo下直接emerge synaptics即可。

3、配置xorg.conf，首先看看你的输入设备信息，我机器上的输出信息如下：

/home/debianl $ cat /proc/bus/input/devices 
I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0001 Product=0001 Version=ab41
N: Name="AT Translated Set 2 keyboard"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio0/input0
S: Sysfs=/class/input/input0
H: Handlers=kbd event0 
B: EV=120013
B: KEY=4 2000000 3802078 f840d001 feffffdf ffefffff ffffffff fffffffe
B: MSC=10
B: LED=7

I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0007 Version=0000
N: Name="SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio4/input0
S: Sysfs=/class/input/input1
H: Handlers=mouse0 event1 
B: EV=b
B: KEY=6420 0 70000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
B: ABS=11000003

I: Bus=0003 Vendor=046d Product=c016 Version=0340
N: Name="Logitech Optical USB Mouse"
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:1d.1-1/input0
S: Sysfs=/class/input/input2
H: Handlers=mouse1 event2 
B: EV=7
B: KEY=70000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
B: REL=103

然后配置xorg.conf，加入TouchPad的Section内容，并在ServerLayout中加入InputDevice "TouchPad" "AlwaysCore"，以下是我的xorg.conf配置：

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "X.org Configured"
        Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
        InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"

        BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
        Option      "Accel" "True"
        Option      "RenderAccel" "True"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Card0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        Option      "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "true"
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     1
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     4
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     8
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     15
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     16
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     24
        EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Extensions"
        Option      "Composite"   "enable"
EndSection

现在你应该就可以使用synclient来配置各项参数了，也可以禁用触摸板，如果你用gnome的话可以安装一个gsynaptics，图形化的配置界面更易用点。
