http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21001 heres the bugzilla for this issue.As i mentioned,the latest patch has at least fixed the scroll from 'disappearing',although the scroll area on the pad seems too small still.I had noticed that the scroll(before the patch)would work for a while then stop,and after i checked it more thoroughly,it seemed that the right edge had moved off to the right making it impossible to scroll(unless i was extremely careful at the very edge,then occasionally it would scroll a bit).this fixed that,but i still wonder what happened since the older,working driver and the newer broken one.I recall there being a intended switch away from using shared memory config for settings options,something there?they describe it well at that link.
