Nope. Odd. Oh well, as long as it's working...
I hope you don't mind me running with this thread, as I have a similar
problem (I think) to the OP. On my laptop I have also installed SUSE
10.0 which seems to behave in a different way: when I double-tap on
the mouse pad while the cursor is over the scroll-bar, it 'captures'
it and by dragging my finger I can scroll up and down. Lifting my
finger results in the scrollbar being released. In Gentoo this
feature does not exist and to drag the scroll bar I have to press the
LH mouse pad button.
I've tried copying parts of the SUSE xorg.conf onto gentoo's, but it
won't play ball:
============================
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "Protocol" "event"
Option "InputFashion" "Mouse"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Name" "Synaptics;Touchpad"
Option "SHMConfig" "on"
Option "Vendor" "Sysp"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "True"
Option "Buttons" "3"
EndSection
============================
The touchpad mouse worked fine with my previous non-synaptics settings:
============================
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "False"
Option "Buttons" "5"
EndSection
============================
Is the synaptics setup what I need to be able to lock & drag the
scroll bar? Is there anything obvious wrong?
