Sorry. Most touchpads can only use fingers. Some can use pens, but I don't know of any, nor do I know if they'll work. This program maps the corners of the touchpad to the corners of your screen, so using your finger won't be that bad.

That is, if this program works for you. I still haven't recieved any on it yet.

This map has been deleted on the request of its creator. It is no longer available.

Yay, this laptop has a Synaptic and it works with SynAbs.

This will take some zetta getting used to.

Don't work for me, i have a Synaptics ClickPad 7.4, i wanna test it, i'm in Windows 7 x64, i have two mouse of 1600DPI and a Wacom Intuos4, can you the program for windows 7.

The Error:
Error '-2147418113 (8000ffff)' Error en tiempo de ejecución :
Error de Automatización

I have windows in spanish.

Just randomly thrown in:

Do you think this could be done with the non-absolute Bamboo Multi-Touch surface? I would love to give it a try with my fingers on the tablet, but it only s relative positioning (Wacom states: Since you don't use the screen as touch surface you don't know where the cursor is. -> hence they won't add a mode for absolute positioning :'( )

They said on the Wacom forum the drivers delivers absolute positions as you can see here:


(You can get there by Holding Ctrl and pressing the "Info" button in the settings)

@TiZ
Great job. I use homemade pen of this:



It cost me a candy-bar price + time ~10min, haha
It rly works like tablet, yeah I can play even insane maps

I also have a 7.4 synaptic touchpad and i get the following error

"System Error &H80004002 (-2147467262). No such interface ed"

I wanted to try, but my computer don't agree D:

(Inb4 not compatible with windows8)

What a bump!

Anyways, I tried this and worked on my laptop. Probably because the laptop is old which runs Windows Vista. The program is made 5 years ago, so don't expect it to work on newer machine.

My laptop run windows 8 but it's 4 years old and when I got it it was on windows vista D:

That probably because the way Synaptics driver are developed for Windows 8 differs to that for Windows Vista.

You might wanna try dual-booting Windows Vista then...

same problem encountered, seems it doesn't work on win8...

I can confirm that this runs perfectly well on the run of the mill windows 7 machine. I wish I could make it click when I tap it though.

Nice tool.

For win 7, I can confirm it works using the v15 driver but not v16 driver.

for those who play on linux, you might like to take a look at this:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/239823/u ... ics-tablet

it say ubuntu but it works on fedora too, and maybe others that use xorg

I have to get the absolute position of a finger on the touchpad rather than just relative movement.

the synaptics driver doesn't do this, but the evdev driver does. So you need to configure your X server to use the evdev driver for the touchpad instead. The following configuration snippet will do that for you provided you're running server 1.8 or later.

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "evdev touchpad"
    MatchIsTouchpad "on"
    Driver "evdev"
    Option "Mode" "absolute"
EndSection

Save this as /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-evdev-touchpad.conf and restart the server. Note that this only changes the behaviour of the touchpad itself, not the data in the events but then again that data is always absolute anyway. Also, by using evdev instead of synaptics you're losing the ability for two-finger scrolling, tapping, etc.

to disable it, just delete that conf file and restart the server

I have a problem here, when I start it, it says "Incorrigible paradox detected. Aborting." Any idea why?

is your touchpad a synaptics touchpad and using the synaptics driver?

Well, first it's Alps, after I installed the driver, it became synaptic. Is that the problem?

it works on my laptop, mine is SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad, note the word, Synaptic

so it could be the problem if yours isn't synaptic, not all touchpad give absolution, so maybe yours is one of those

the app would only work with a touchpad that got absolution.

to find out what touchpad yours is,
on linux:

cat /proc/bus/input/devices

on window:

idk, try googling it

asl97 wrote: 3e4a1k

Lol

It is located in the Device Manager, under "Mice and other pointing devices".

Edit : nvm, the synaptics touchpad was on my previous laptop ._.

cant in the given link anyone got another link
?

i don't understand how to use this, can somebody explain to me? :c

EDIT: nvm, i just played around with the program and got it to work XD

Could anyone help me with the error//////// System Error &H80004002 (-2147467262).

Has anyone got this working on a windows 8 machine?

No luck here on 8.1.

On Linux, one may be able to switch between Absolute and Relative mode with xinput set-mode <device name> ABSOLUTE (<device name> being either the full name or the id of your touchpad (without the < >); use the command xinput to get this info). Switch ABSOLUTE to RELATIVE when you want to switch back, or just reboot. May or may not work depending on other factors (was able to do so on Ubuntu 13.04, but not 13.10).

I get a System Error &H80004002 (-2147467262). No such interface ed error I'm going to assume it's because I'm running Windows 8, because I do have a synaptics touchpad. Any plans on fixing that?
Also, Visual Basic is a bit of an outdated language. You should consider using C# instead.

Didn't work for me on 8 or 8.1.

i repeatedly smashed my face upon the computer keyboard and it didnt work any advice?

6 years and no update. Any touch pad wizards here?

why necro this i thought there was actually an update

Can anyone re- this? The link doesn't work :/

^yeah, I for one would like to try using it

I still have this on my computer even if it never worked for me (windows 8), you are lucky
http://puu.sh/7yG9M.rar

First of all, do you guys know the pens sold for phones? Those work pretty well, you just got to detach the cable. Talking from personal experience.
Example here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/10x-Metal-Unive ... 20e10aaaa8

And this one, but I don't have the slightest idea if it works: http://www.ebay.com/itm/5X-STYLUS-BALLP ... 2c70dbaa2e

Also, as a second note, YOU NEED TO TURN RAW INPUT OFF for it to work in osu right now.

I got an error on this.... Says something about synctrl.dl not correctly ed

This is realy old and as I said in my last post in this thread 'even if it never worked for me'.
This surely doesn't work with too new computers and dosn't work on windows 8 or greater.

Just for the fun Another "Synaptic Absolution" kind program but basic
Virus free, i used Synaptics API. You need to "calibrate" the touchpad first by moving your finger at each corners ... Have fun
Edit: If some people want to use it i can add graphical interface (like Wacom one to choose your area), some hotkey , and save for values
I have a Wacom tablet so i don't use my soft and im not used to play with my finger ^^"

Don't need any soft/external lib except one from drivers that are installed with the touchpad HF

looking further into it, it says it detected Trojan:Win32/Spursint.F!cl

Whether or not this was intentional or something that happened to me and me only, I don't know; but be wary.

Well first i'm surpried a 3 years old puush link still works, and also I tryed to it and it said the Windows Defender alert as well. Of corse it wasn't doing that when I ed it 3 years ago, and that's just a re- of what was in the OT. Also virus total says 0/54 detection so i'm guessing Windows Defender is just dumb as usual with the false positives.


But honestly I'm pretty sure there is something similar somewhere else in the forum that actualy does work (Cause as I said 3 years ago when I sent that link I never manager to make this working). Actualy I'm quite sure it's this, and I think this does work (But I never tested) t/429842
