[Bug 505474] Re: Alps touchpad not recognized, defaults to macintosh mouse button emulation

[Chase Douglas]

@zK:

I forgot to mention the best way to test mouse buttons. If the two extra
buttons are supposed to be mapped to left and right click, then
obviously they should just work. However, if they are supposed to be
mapped to some other function, then you may not realize they are working
properly. To test these buttons, run xev from the terminal. A window
will pop up. Move your mouse cursor anywhere within the window. You
should see lots of output in the terminal as you move the mouse around
and press buttons. Try the working right and left mouse buttons to get
an idea of what a proper print out would be. Next, try the two extra
buttons. If they work, you should see some print out from them as well.
If they don't work, you won't see anything.

Please test the extra mouse buttons to see if they are recognized. If
they aren't, I will try some other options in the driver.

P.S.: I may know how to get your "stick" working as well, but I'll wait
for feedback on your buttons before I spin a new kernel.

Thanks
