I'm noticing slight annoyance with recent update from 20141121
snapshot to 20150217.
My touchpad, while two-finger scrolling (up/down) sometimes ignores
the scrolls. I have to lift my fingers and retry the gesture to initiate
the scroll.
There was a change to pms(4) (r1.57) but it should only affect
elantech touchpads, so it's probably the r1.11 change to the
synaptics xorg driver which affects all of them:
http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/xenocara/driver/xf86-input-synaptics/src/wsconscomm.c
Can you try recompiling that driver with that last revision backed
out and see if it fixes the problem?
Thanks for the reply and hint.
Took me a while longer as I made the mistake of rebuilding
the entire xenocara.
Indeed this revision seems to be the cause of the issue; at
least I've not been able to run into the issue in the last 10
minutes or so, whilst trying my best.
Thanks to Henrik Friedrichsen for also confirming the issue
and the fix.
Cheers,

Unfortunately that "fix" might reintroduce other problems, at least
with other touchpads, and maybe even with yours. For example, if you
start a scrolling operation by making two touches at the same time,
I would expect that it begins with a "jump". Would you mind check that?
I can't make any tests myself, there is no synaptics touchpad around
here.
