Do you need me to test anything? send you patch, i also have a synaptics touchpad and ubuntu 10.10. If you really cannot get the touchpad on pd, maybe try using synclient and parse the data.

Go to the console and
>synclient -m 0

And it gives you all the touchpad data. 

But then again people that are used to [hid] can probably guide you into a more pd-friendly solution. :)

best of luck,
Pedro

Hi,

I'm having a problem with my laptop touchpad (synaptic) under ubuntu maverick. It isn't a permission issue because I have already done the udev thing and everything is working perfectly except the touchpad. Pd recognize it and hid can open it but it can't recieve any data. I tried it in other laptops with same ubuntu and the same thing happened. Any suggestions?

thanks,

Diego.
