I managed to find the Arch Wiki. When I enter the command:

sudo emacs /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf

it takes, asks for a password, I copy pasted:

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "TapButton2" "2"
Option "TapButton3" "3"
Option "VertEdgeScroll" "on"
Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "on"
Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "on"
Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "on"
Option "CircularScrolling" "on"
Option "CircScrollTrigger" "2"
Option "EmulateTwoFingerMinZ" "40"
Option "EmulateTwoFingerMinW" "8"
Option "CoastingSpeed" "0"
...
EndSection

which among all those options should enable the right click on the touchpad. However, I get this error:

(emacs:19695): Gtk-WARNING **: Attempting to store changes into `/root/.local/share/recently-used.xbel', but failed: Failed to create file '/root/.local/share/recently-used.xbel.CL2EKW': No such file or directory

The wiki does mentione that

but since I am able to run the first code mentioned above, I'm assuming it's already installed.

I also did try running the first command using a different editor, when it opened the previous commands were saved. They opened up.

I am pretty much at a loss.

This is just the screenshot of the commands failing. Any ideas?

Running LinuxMint (In case that makes a difference).

Edit: Last time I checked there was no way of running netflix on ubuntu/linux. Does that still hold true?
[Desire HD General] bananagranola:
Yes, Linux Mint comes with X. If the edited file showed up in another editor, sounds like it was saved. The Gtk warnings don't matter (the editor is trying to save some of its own data for its recently used files feature, which are saved in the user (root) folder, which do not exist). Reboot and see if right click works. I don't use Netflix, so I'm not sure about that.
[Desire HD General] Teichopsia:
I hope you are still there bananagranola.

I got these after the reboot.

[Desire HD General] Teichopsia:
Edit: heck, decided to nuke it and start over.

I did a quick install, rebooted and it seems the issue I googled wasn't - at least it didn't seem so - to be the same one.

So I'm doing a clean install, download a few updates and test it. If the issue doesn't happen again (from what I read), then there is the possibility the darn right click button fix caused it (but then again from half the things I did without knowing what I did could have been the culprit).

[Desire HD General] bananagranola:
Sorry, I went to bed...wait, wait! Before you reinstall the entire thing, run "cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf." Show me the output. Then try using only

[Desire HD General] glevitan:

[Desire HD General] bananagranola:
Oh, okay. I keep seeing "this is off topic, go away!" on other forums here. Also, I'm used to Arch forums, so this off-topic-ness is kind of new to me. ;)
[Desire HD General] Teichopsia:
This is our thread, we can do pretty much anything we want in here :D

As long as we keep it clean and with no flamming anything goes.

I was tired, spending the whole day setting up the laptop (which seems to give an issue or two more than a desktop from the little I read). I almost completed setting up the sdk :( I tend to download everything except the motorola files and anything under 2.2 gb - never ending download.

The issue could have been the X11 config or the wireless driver.

I already reinstalled everything before going to sleep. Updated the wireless (was it the wireless driver? I'll check later). Downloaded the additional files, rebooted a couple of times, no issues. I'll try the X11 config thingy to see if it was that after I wake up a bit more. If not, then it could have been the wifi driver since I didn't use the propertary ones the first time around. That's pretty much what I understood last night having been awake for 20 hours and working on this all day.

Edit: we are just trying to enable the right click on the touchpad :p:D

Bananagranola. I am attaching a screenshot, I'm pretty much stuck. No idea what to do once I have the text in emacs23 copied. I pressed a whole lotta buttons :silly:
[Desire HD General] bananagranola:
Try using pluma. Emacs is too hard to explain in a short time like this. Paste it in pluma (If it's not already there) and save, then reboot.
[Desire HD General] Teichopsia:
I believe it's saved, maybe. I just can't close emacs23. When trying to write to the buffer it says no such file or directory exists, and remains open.

Edit: Got it closed.

Member regarding the chinese hboot, I did a quick search but couldn't find the thread. I'll try again later.
[Desire HD General] hadi_xman:
help please someone...
[Desire HD General] Teichopsia:
I'm working on it.

Is your phone working?

Bgranola, I keep getting the x11 directory doesn't exist. Would I need to create it first?

Should I follow these directions? http://askubuntu.com/questions/129941/my-ubuntu-12-04-has-no-xorg-conf-is-that-normal

Or rather try to figure out how to use one of the console tools or graphical tools from the arch wiki?
[Desire HD General] hadi_xman:
yep its fully working... flash clockworkmod v5.0.2.0 from ROM manger...

but while making nand back everything goes smooth except after backing up cache it says

no sd-ext found. skipping backup of sd-ext.

then goto generating md5 sum...?

is it ok my backup is ok..?
[Desire HD General] bananagranola:
Create an X11 folder in /etc, then an xorg.conf.d folder inside X11. Then, inside /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ create a10-synaptics.conf text file. Paste the configuration stuff in there. The ubuntu site will work; xorg.conf is deprecated. I have never used the tools.
[Desire HD General] Teichopsia:
Could you give more details from the very beginning what works, what doesn't work, what you have done and so forth?

It seems that http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1396253&page=5 the thread where this was reported happens to be you. What have you done so far? The more details you give, the easier it will be to help you.

Did and done, didn't work.

The first pic is after creating the folders, I tried to create the file using the terminal, no go.

Then I just finished it your way. I hope the name of the file doesn't matter :p

Edit: I'm about to give up.

2nd Edit: I tried this by renaming the file you told me to create

1. Create 51-clickpad.conf in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d directory. Note that xorg.conf.d directory did not exist for me on 12.04 as it did in previous versions so I had to make the directory.

2. Put the following lines in 51-clickpad.conf

Identifier "Default clickpad buttons"
MatchDriver "synaptics"
Option "SoftButtonAreas" "50% 0 82% 0 0 0 0 0"

#Next 3 items added just for the HP Mini to better control the clickpad
Option "LockedDrags" "1"
Option "BottomEdge" "4000"
Option "AreaBottomEdge" "4445"

EndSection

taken from here. Fourth post.

No dice.

3rd edit:

replaced the file with the original script

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "TapButton2" "2"
Option "TapButton3" "3"
Option "VertEdgeScroll" "on"
Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "on"
Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "on"
Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "on"
Option "CircularScrolling" "on"
Option "CircScrollTrigger" "2"
Option "EmulateTwoFingerMinZ" "40"
Option "EmulateTwoFingerMinW" "8"
Option "CoastingSpeed" "0"
EndSection

Still nothing.
[Desire HD General] bananagranola:
Wait wait, 10-synaptics.conf is not a folder. It's the name of the file. /etc/, X11/, and xorg.conf.d/ are all folders. Inside xorg.conf.d is a text file named 10-synaptics.conf. That's where that configuration list goes.

EDIT: when you're done, reboot, then run

cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf

and give me the output. Also, try

synclient -l

; it might not be installed, but if it is, let me know that output too.

[Desire HD General] bananagranola:
Haha, no, not so much. Although, I believe that the number matters (it's used in the load order), but the words don't matter as much. Maybe after you get it working you can try changing it to "10-rightclickhell.conf."
[Desire HD General] Teichopsia:
You are extremely patient. Thank you for all of this.
[Desire HD General] bananagranola:
That looks good, though it's synclient with a lowercase L and not a 1 (like the first letter of "list"); try rebooting and seeing if your right-click (to clarify, this is two-finger tap right click we're talking about, right?) works. If not, give me a look at "synclient -l" again.

As for patience, don't worry about it. I love Linux, but I know exactly how frustrating it can be. :) I don't remember how I know this stuff, but I bet it's because I screwed mine up at some point and took hours to fix it.
[Desire HD General] Teichopsia:
Damn! In a minute I'll explain this.

I had done the reboot previously, but I'll do it again to see what happens.

The right click I mean, is for when you click the right button of a mouse/touchpad, it gives you a list of options.

The damn I mentioned earlier, is that I have been using an external usb keyboard to get the right click we've been working on for the past two days. Now the keyboard is not responding. :crying:

This is the output, I'm gonna reboot now.

Hey, a question I should have asked you right off: do you have physical buttons, or a clickpad? If your buttons are part of the touchpad and not separate physical buttons, add this section before EndSection:

Option "ClickPad" "true"
Option "EmulateMidButtonTime" "0"
Option "SoftButtonAreas" "50% 0 82% 0 0 0 0 0"
[Desire HD General] Teichopsia:
Hours? Lucky you. We've been working on the right button for almost two days now.

If it werent for netflix I would have ditched windows a long time ago.

But with all of this, I'm almost going back to windows. :p

God forbid, right?

I only got back into linux because I got bored of reading the threads and want to learn to cook. My assumption linux is better for it than win.

[Desire HD General] Teichopsia:
haahaha it's working!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You sir, I love you man. jajajaajajaaaa....... I'm giggling like a five year old.

Now I have to go tackle the darn SDK, eclipse and all that..... oh boy! Or do you know any commands I can just type in the terminal to get it all done? *fingers crossed*

By the way, any idea what the error I got yesterday could have been? I'm thinking it could have been the Broadcom STA wireless driver not being installed the cause of it. Not sure.
[Desire HD General] bananagranola:
Congratulations!! I love that about Linux - the rush when, after ages and ages, some tiny thing works and you feel like you're on top of the world.

My hunch is that it had to do with 10-synaptics.conf file; I can't imagine that wireless drivers would make X not start. You might have had problems with wireless that were separate, which also logged to the terminal, but I'm betting it was something with misconfiguration or formatting of the 10-synaptics file, since that is an X Server configuration file.

Congrats again!

(And that's ma'am and miss to you. :))

EDIT: as for SDK and Eclipse, have you started looking into how to use the package manager apt-get? It should install everything for you:

sudo apt-get install eclipse

I'm not sure what the Android SDK package is called. Search for it:

apt-cache search android

For information on more apt-get stuff,

man apt-get

But first, make sure you update your packages database and install updates:

sudo apt-get update

and then

sudo apt-get upgrade
[Desire HD General] Teichopsia:
I didn't see this post. I'll definetely give this a shot.

I had written the reply, pressed something, lost it.

Then when I typed it again I unplug(g)ed the laptop - forgetting I had taken out the battery :mad:

Well, Miss banagranola, that's even better yet :D I can't thank you enough. Without you I would have given up a long time ago. I'll just probably start thanking your posts whenever I see them around the threads as I've been seeing them popping up all over.

After all this it seems that my initial assumption may be correct. Learning and using linux could make it easier to learn how to cook roms.

I did take a quick look at the packet manager but it's all new to me. While we were doing the touchpad, I came across the 50+ pages of the introductury manual for mint, I'll read it properly later.

As well, I'll be making a summary of our/your touchpad commands/script and link it in the second post.

Right now I'm gonna take a break and have the lunch I had skipped.

Once again, I can't thank you enough Miss B. :beer:

Sent from a dream.
[Desire HD General] bananagranola:
I strongly recommend you look into the package manager before trying to install anything. In theory, installing things in Linux should always be done through a manager. It keeps track of your files so they can be modified or uninstalled more easily.

Also, my posts are probably not the best resource. The Arch Wiki is definitely better. Even though many people don't use Arch, they are still a very good resource. (Just don't post in their forums unless you run Arch.)

EDIT: and don't worry about the thanks. Save them for the devs.

Enabling the right click button in LinuxMint

There is a way to do it through the terminal but I will explain it the noob way, which this being my second day of 'actually' using any sort of distro. A special thanks to Bananagranola, who was extremely patient and guided me step by step. A rare quality in this forum.

I'll explain this under what I see in LinuxMint 13 (It should work in Ubuntu as well). You will need administrative previliges to do these steps. If you don't have an external mouse to right click, then after selecting the folder click on "edit" and then "open as administrator". This will allow you to make changes.

We are first going to create folders in the root (under file system in my case) under computer.

Go to menu and select Computer. Select File System.

Search for the folder "etc"

If it's not already there, create the Folder "X11"

Then create the folder "xorg.conf.d"

Within this last folder create a text file named "10-synaptics.conf"

which will then look like "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf"

NOTE: Once you are inside "etc" you will need to create a folder called "X11", go inside that folder to create the next one and so on as mentioned above,

Once you have created the text file 10-synaptics.conf, open it up and copy, paste, save this script:

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "TapButton2" "2"
Option "TapButton3" "3"
Option "VertEdgeScroll" "on"
Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "on"
Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "on"
Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "on"
Option "CircularScrolling" "on"
Option "CircScrollTrigger" "2"
Option "EmulateTwoFingerMinZ" "40"
Option "EmulateTwoFingerMinW" "8"
Option "CoastingSpeed" "0"
EndSection

If you have a clickpad instead of physical buttons, a clickpad being a single undivided plate, then add this script before where it says EndSection

Option "ClickPad" "true"
Option "EmulateMidButtonTime" "0"
Option "SoftButtonAreas" "50% 0 82% 0 0 0 0 0"

Reboot and test.

You can input the following code in the Terminal to see what you just created.

cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf

All of this can be done directly from the terminal by entering this command:

sudo <texteditor> /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf

Texteditor being whatever texteditor you have in your distro. In Mint it's called pluma. So the code would be:

sudo pluma /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf

It will open the text editor and all you have to do is copy paste the script above, reboot and test. However, this didn't work for me. I believe I needed to use a script to create the missing folders/text file.

Touchpad Synaptics "This article details the installation and configuration process of the Synaptics input driver for Synaptics (and ALPS) touchpads found on most notebooks."

Thanks to bananagranola, now I can use the right click button on my touchpad. :victory:

Ok here is the full guide..

I m not new to the android device Roms and cwm...

I purchased refurbished desire HD.. i already had the options to reboot into bootloader n recovery..

so when i boot into recovery it was in Chinese.. this issue is solved i flashed cwm v5.0.2.0 through ROM Manager application in android market...

After flashing the recovery i got English version then i backup my current rom every thing was smooth except after backing up cache. It says:

No sd-ext found.. skipping backup off sd-ext

Then goto generating md5 sum...

The backup ok..? Or there is chance that it would be corrupted..?
[Desire HD General] Teichopsia:
Got it now.

So, in hboot it says s-off?

Are you rooted? If so, then no worries, everything is fixable.

The suggestion from marstda is to flash a ruu and start from scratch. I believe you can find rooted ruu's to flash. Is everything else on your phone working? Volume rockers, charging cable and port and so forth. Edit: however, we thought the hboot was in chinese. Which is different from recovery.

The error you are getting no idea. I/we use 4ext instead of cwm. Perhaps glevitan or muikkuman know.

However, if you are s-off/rooted, then flash a different rom, test the backup later to find out.

Before flashing the cwm there was recovery option...

Reboot in hboot.

Power off, press and hold the volume down button and the press the power button. Get a digital camara, take a picture and upload it here.
