Bug#461760: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics: I confirm this bug

2008-02-24 Thread Johannes 
Hi,

I also can ocnfirm this bug and have done some further testing.

* Mattia Dongili [EMAIL PROTECTED] [080201 13:15]:
 this really puzzles me... completely dead?
 does synclient report any activity?

synclient does output identical numbers for older version (truly
working) and buggy version (not working at all)

 what happens if you just try to run with the default options?
 i.e.: comment everything except

Options seem to be irrelavant to the problem.

You can make the touchpad working by setting GrabEventDevice to off,
but this only passes on standard events, so the net result is
funtionality equal to not loading synaptics driver at all. This shows
the driver per se is working and processing input from the touchpad.

Additional testing shows that events are not accepted by XOrg. I've
faked dx to always 100 in HandleState just before Post events in line
1873. Debug output says xf86PostMotionEvent is called but the mouse
pointer does not move.

My impression is that something with registering the device must have
gone wrong.

Johannes

 I can confirm this bug. It seems this does not break all touchpads but at 
 least some.
 I have a ALPS touchpad in a Toshiba Satellit 2100 Pro and after uprade it 
 breaks the
 touchpad completely. Downgrade to the current lenny version 0.14.6-1 fixes 
 this issue.
 Here are the refering fragments of Xorg.0.log with a working touchpad (lennys 
 package):
...
 (EE) No Input driver matching `synaptics'

yep, as you can see the synaptics driver is completely bypassed and a
different one is taking over.

 Your assumption was true... if xorg complains about the synaptics module
 it works (another driver taking its part?) and if the synaptics module
 recognizes the touchpad it does not work. Right now I realised those
 touchpad specific options (scrolling at the edges etc.) do not work anymore
 either (with lennys package) what makes sense to me. But I am almost 100%
 sure it worked completely.

what happens if you just try to run with the default options?
i.e.: comment everything except

 Section InputDevice
Driver  synaptics
Identifier  ALPS Touchpad
Option  Protocol  auto-dev
Option  Device/dev/input/mouse1
Option  Always Core   1
Option  SHMConfig On
 EndSection

thanks for the report
