 Posted: Tue Jan 13, 2004 6:02 am Post subject: Laptop Touchpad and OpenOffice.org... |
 |
|
I have friend who has installed OOo from my recommendation - definitely an "End User/Newbie" with computers  - but getting on well with it so far.
The only things he's asked me about is scrolling with his laptop touchpad, his hp computer has a special "scroll area" on the right of the pad where moving your finger up and down will scroll the page.
He says it works with all other programs but not OOo - can anyone think of a reason why this might be?
TIA

The following worked for me...
Go into SynTPEnh.ini and add this block anywhere -
[OpenOffice]
WT = "*OpenOffice*"
SF = 0x10000000
SF |= 0x00004000 |

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. As it happens I've changed my laptop since I posted and now have the same behaviour on that!
I found 2 instances of the file you mentioned on my computer, in:
C:\Program Files\Synaptics\SynP
and
C:\Program Files\Synaptics\SynP\Media
Which should I edit, or both? Can you explain a little more what this block does please?
TIA,

I edited both files - which were in any case identical files - and the fix WORKS GREAT. this is a major plus for OOo's usability (now if they could only get text selection set up right...) |

With my TP X31 this does not help (these files do not exist). Neither does editing the tp4table.dat file that is suggested in other threads. Does anyone have another way, or a detailed description of what has to be done?
Thank you

Ok, I finally found the solution to get Thinkpad Trackpoint scrolling to work with Openoffce.
Open the file tp4table.dat in the directory \windows\system32\ using Editor.
Before the following line:
;; Pass 1 rules (These rules run last)
insert the following line:
*,*,soffice.bin,*,*,*,WheelStd,0,9
Take care, its soffice.bin, not soffice.exe...
If this does not help, repeat the same procedure with the file tp4table.dat in c:\Program Files\Synaptics\SynTP. It seems that newer driver versions use this file.
Regards
R.

I have a IBM R40/wxpproSP2/oo 2.0 RC2. My solution is few rows below:

This works for me. But inserting line to the SynTPenh.ini file doesn't work. |

Hello,
I upgraded to the latest version of the Synaptics driver and both Firefox and OpenOffice scroll feature on the touchpad worked.
Give it a shot.

|

Nice to know that some one solved his problem with touchpad scrolling, but not me. My Fujitsu-Siemens have some other type of Touchpad and neither of sugestions worked for me. Is it possible totally eliminate the problem instead of looking for workarounds.
Would be very nice... |

|
|
Hi,
I am new to OO, and have done a quick search, and this seems to be the most comprehensive string on my issue...
I have an IBM Thinkpad T23 with the trackpoint device. I am also basically in love with OO, except that I can't scroll with it. My T23 is a Windows 2000 machine - if that information helps.
I can't find any of the files referenced above on my computer (I did a search of my hard drive).
Is there anyone with any experience that might be able to help me figure out how to get this going on the T23? I would be most appreciative.
Thank you!
Eric |

OK, so I had to download from IBM the latest version of the Thinkpad driver, and then I got the TP4table.dat file, and then I was in business!!!

Hi eric1234,
Sorry I didn't get back to you from you PM. Glad you got it sorted in the end In fact I'm not sure if the scroll works on my laptop at the moment!
