Bug#575674: synaptics touchpad ignored(?)

This notes section seems to be about hal, but AFAIK configuration has been moved to udev. Is horizontal and vertical scroll wheel emulation supposed to be on by default? The additional scroll regions you mention, are they real regions or just lines drawn on the touchpad? i.e.: what happens when you move you finger on them? They are drawn on the touchpad. I get mouse movement events instead of scroll wheel events, as xev shows. (II) config/udev: Adding input device SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad (/dev/input/event6) looks like udev is adding the device. The package ships with /lib/udev/rules.d/66-xorg-synaptics.rules you're supposed to have it unless you removed it. It is still there. AFAICS it is identical to the version in the source package. ... What does `synclient -l` report? It said Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded? According to the old Xorg.4.log file the synaptics driver wasn't loaded. After reinstalling the driver _is_ found and synclient works (see the new attachments), but there are still no scroll wheel events.

Bug#575674: synaptics touchpad ignored(?)
Package: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics Version: 1.2.1-1 Hardware: Dell XPS M1330 Problem: The synaptics touchpad is ignored, as it seems. I just get 2 mouse buttons and basic mouse functionality, even though it appears in the (attached) X log file. The scroll regions at the right or lower edge are not recognized, nor does tapping work. Emulate3Buttons works. The xorg.conf file has been wiped out to make sure its not a configuration issue. There is no private udev rules file or hal config file, either. KDE or Gnome are not used, just plain X plus fvwm2 manually started on the console. xinput list shows â¡ Virtual core pointer id=2[master pointer (3)] â â³ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4[slave pointer (2)] â â³ Broadcom Corp id=10 [slave pointer (2)] â â³ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=13 [slave pointer (2)] ⣠Virtual core keyboardid=3[master keyboard (2)] â³ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5[slave keyboard (3)] â³ Video Bus id=6[slave keyboard (3)] â³ Power Button id=7[slave keyboard (3)] â³ Sleep Button id=8[slave keyboard (3)] â³ Broadcom Corp id=9[slave keyboard (3)] â³ Laptop Integrated Webcam id=11 [slave keyboard (3)] â³ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=12 [slave keyboard (3)] â³ ACPI Virtual Keyboard Device id=14 [slave keyboard (3)] â³ Dell WMI hotkeys id=15 [slave keyboard (3)] On another famous Debian-based Linux distro (current 10.04) it works out of the box.

On another famous Debian-based Linux distro (current 10.04) it works out of the box. Same software, same version same everything? What does `synclient -l` report there?
