Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xfree86-driver-synaptics
On my Hardy install, I didn't need to do anything to have my Toshiba
Portege R100's Synaptics touchpad be configured to provide vertical
scrolling (through use of the right-hand-edge of the touchpad). Having
upgraded to Intrepid, thus function has vanished: the right edge of the
trackpad just moves the cursor in the manner of the rest of the
trackpad. I installed gsynaptics to see whether I could turn scrolling
back on.
Running gsynaptics required me to add a SHMConfig line to my xorg.conf,
which now reads:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "0"
Option "SHMConfig" "true"
EndSection
(...)
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
screen 0 "Default Screen" 0 0
Inputdevice "Synaptics Touchpad"
EndSection
Unfortunately gsynaptics believes that vertical scrolling is already
enabled. I tried changing its parameters to see whether this might tweak
things into working, but without success.
