Hi! I have a ThinkPad T61 running the latest Debian unstable.
I have a synaptics touchpad. I have it set up to send vertical and horizontal scroll events using xorg.conf, thusly: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "TouchPad" Driver "synaptics" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0" Option "SendCoreEvents" "true" Option "Protocol" "auto-dev" Option "Buttons" "7" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" Option "XAxisMapping" "6 7" Option "SHMConfig" "true" Option "LeftEdge" "1700" Option "RightEdge" "5000" Option "TopEdge" "1700" Option "BottomEdge" "4200" Option "FingerHigh" "30" Option "FingerLow" "25" Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "1" Option "HorizScrollDelta" "80" Option "VertScrollDelta" "120" Option "CircularScrolling" "true" Option "CircScrollTrigger" "3" # CircScrollDelta breaks everything: # Option "CircScrollDelta" "0.001" # Disable using it as a mouse. Scroll only! Option "AccelFactor" "0" Option "MaxTapTime" "0" Option "MaxDoubleTapTime" "0" Option "ClickTime" "0" Option "MaxTapMove" "0" Option "MinSpeed" "0" Option "MaxSpeed" "0" Option "EdgeMotionMinSpeed" "0" Option "EdgeMotionMaxSpeed" "0" Option "EdgeMotionUseAlways" "0" # Option "ButtonMapping" "1 2" "9 10" EndSection That works great--as root. It was working for normal users too, but no longer. I believe it may have been around the time of the KDE4 upgrade that it stopped working for normal users. xev lists vertical (button 4 and 5) scroll events. If I do "startx -- :1" as root either from within X or a console, xev has no problem seeing oodles of horizontal (button 6 and 7) events. But for my user account, xev lists nothing at all when I touch the touchpad in this way, although all other functionality is there. I could understand if my user account were running a program that remapped buttons 6 and 7 to not do anything, but the X events should still come through, shouldn't they? I don't know where to begin! A recursive "grep -i HorizScroll" in ~ doesn't turn anything up. ~/.Xmodmap doesn't contain anything that could possibly interfere--just makes CapsLock another Control key. I've tried google, I've searched this mailing list, but apparently my search-fu is weak. Any pointers as to what could be making the X events disappear would be greatly appreciated! It beats doing a bunch of X restarts with different parts of .kde, .local, .gnome, .gnome2, .gnome2_private, and who-knows-what-else disabled... Many thanks for any pointers (haha) you can provide! -Ben -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
