Hi Cyril,
Thank you for your very prompt response. I followed your advise, and
have (hopefully successfully) filed the report upstream. The number it
was assigned there is Bug 34806
<https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34806>.
I haven't found out whether I can use Debian's reportbug tool to sent a
report to e.g. bugs.freedesktop.org ?
Cheers
Klaus

Hi, first time bug-reporter here...
:)
Sid saw a kernel upgrade from 2.6.32 to 2.6.37 two weeks ago
(?).
FWIW, you can see (parts of) the package's history at:
http://packages.qa.debian.org/l/linux-2.6.html
Since then the touchpad on my Acer Travelmate 8571 doesn't work
as before: the vertical scroll action sometimes works for one
stroke, and then doesn't respond anymore. Single-tapping doesn't
reliably generate TapButton1 events, but most often TapButton3.
After booting back into kernel 2.6.32, everything is fine again.
Alright. I'd suggest your reporting your bug upstream directly, I
guess Peter should be able to tell you what's supposed to happen,
what's buggy, and how to deal with it:
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/ (product xorg, component Input/synaptics)
(Might be kernel changes, or the driver needing tweaking/configuration
to deal with those.)
Please let us know the bug number afterwards (and/or add me to Cc when
filing the bug).
Thanks already!
KiBi.
