Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xorg
Running feisty on a laptop with a Synaptics touchpad. After installation
of feisty, everything works fine.
The touchpad has a 4-way scroll button in the middle of the two standard
buttons. Tapping on the touchpad is interpreted as a click or double
click. Double-tap-and-hold-and-drag works as click-and-drag.
If I remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf, everything keeps on running OK, (in fact
it *seems* faster -- can it be?) but the touchpad loses its tap-and-drag
and scroll-key abilities, and acts as a simple mouse, just as if there
were no Synaptics entry in xorg.conf. In fact, Xorg.0.log has these
lines:
(WW) The core pointer device wasn't specified explicitly in the layout.
Using the default mouse configuration.
If I restore xorg.conf, everything goes back to normal.
I know this is not an even slightly severe bug, but it seems to be a bug
in hardware detection nonetheless, so I though I might as well report
it.
** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu)
