Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
due the lack of space on my desktop I decided to add a Perixx |
| 4 |
Peripad 501 Track Pad to my Gentoo Linux. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
The device came neither with a userguide nor a driver. The according |
| 7 |
webpage of Perixx does not offer both. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
According to Xorg.0.log and without any additional tasks, X11 recognized this pad as |
| 10 |
[ 24.595] (II) config/udev: Adding input device Mouse Pad (/dev/input/event1) |
| 11 |
[ 24.595] (**) Mouse Pad: Applying InputClass "evdev pointer catchall" |
| 12 |
[ 24.595] (II) Using input driver 'evdev' for 'Mouse Pad' |

| 25 |

| 26 |

| 32 |

| 33 |
[ 24.601] (II) This device may have been added with another device file. |

"It works": That is: I can move the cursor arround and I can perform |
| 36 |
clicks by tapping on the pad. The mechanical present buttons will be |
| 37 |
recognized as button 1 and button 3. |
| 38 |
As far as I can see from the output of xev, double tapping on the pad |
| 39 |
will also be recognized as button 1. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
But the log tells me of "three button mouse" and "adding scrollwheel |
| 42 |
support"... |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
I googled for any information but beside a massive presence of |
| 45 |
"Synaptics" stuff there was no information I can use... |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
How can I activate/use the additional functionality as reported by the |
| 48 |
log file? |
| 49 |
|

Thank you very much in advance for any help! |

Best regards, |
