Package: xfree86-driver-synaptics
Severity: important
I recently tried Debian/etch on my laptop and using the default
configuration provided by Debian the touchpad can't be used as the mouse
moves maybe 30 pixels when my finger goes from one side of the touchpad
to the other side.
I tried Ubuntu breezy and there I haven't the problem. I looked what was
causing the problem ... and it's this package. And indeed when I tried on
Debian with the Ubuntu package, which has been renamed
xorg-driver-synpatics in breezy and then xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in
dapper (could you rename the Debian package too ? it makes
sense since when I look for X related stuff, I expect now an
xorg prefix), it works fine ...
The ubuntu package is an older version in breezy : 0.13.6
http://packages.ubuntu.com/breezy/x11/xorg-driver-synaptics
http://packages.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/x/xorg-driver-synaptics/xorg-driver-synaptics_0.14.3+revertedto+0.13.6-0ubuntu3/changelog
As you can see from the changelog, they had numerous problems with the
0.14.x version and they decided to revert to the previous version.
Now in dapper they came back to 0.14.3 (but I haven't tried the dapper
version), maybe they have a fix in that version ?
http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/x11/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
I'd be glad if you could coordinate with the respective Ubuntu maintainers
and check if they have a fix: Daniel Stone <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
mainly (up to now).
Please tell me what information I should provide you so that we can fix
the stuff definitely.
My laptop is a Dell latitude D410. The xorg.conf mentions this:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "HorizScrollDelta" "0"
EndSection

I can configure the touchpad to a more sensible speed with the parameters
described in "man synaptics" but it should definitely work out of the box.
