I just replaced xorg-x11-drv-libinput with xorg-x11-drv-synaptics-legacy on my F26 system, and all is well with the world again (at least until I upgrade to F27 later this summer). > YMMV (your mileage may vary) > -- > - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigitalri...@alldigital.com - > - AIM/Skype: therps2ICQ: 22643734Yahoo: origrps2 - > -- > -Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.- > -- > ___ > users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org > To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org > -- Kevin J.

I'm using libinput (/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/input/libinput_drv.so) on a Dell Inspiron N7110 laptop running F27 and vertical scroll works just peachy for me using two fingers on the touchpad. I see these entries in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file: [ 109.192] (**) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint: Applying InputClass "libinput touchpad catchall" [ 109.192] (II) Using input driver 'libinput' for 'AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint' YMMV (your mileage may vary) -- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigitalri...@alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2ICQ: 22643734Yahoo: origrps2 - -- -Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.- -- ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org

It mostly went well, except that I seem to have lost the ability to use the vertical scrolling part of my touchpad. I'm running the MATE desktop, so the first thing I did was to check the mouse configuration in System->Preferences->Mouse. In the touchpad tab, I see that Vertical Edge Scrolling is indeed checked, and un-checking it and re-checking it does not bring the functionality back. I can use two-fingered vertical scrolling (it also is checked), but I am not an expert, and it seems to have the side effect of backing up if I move my second finger down into the horizontal scroll area of the touchpad when trying to do a large vertical scroll. Fedora switched from using the synaptics touchpad driver to libinput(?) by default. Unfortunately, the libinput driver doesn't appear to have all the features that the synaptics driver does. At least in Fedora 27, you can uninstall the xorg-x11-drv-libinput package and install xorg-x11-drv-synaptics-legacy.
