Nah, that already stopped working in sid... I just wasn't 100% that it's actually the same. Maybe it makes sense to add that to the manpage/description, so that people don't ask you in the future ;-) Cheers, Chris.

Yes, as I understand, the ioctl was disabled in the kernel at some point, I cannot do much about it. It still works with the current Debian stable kernel. You can check by trying 'shift-page up / shift-page down'. If it does not scroll, then scrolling is disabled. > btw: Tapping does not seem to work out of the box, > I do need to set the --enable-tap . Yes, consolation keep the libinput default behavior. Cheers, -- Bill. Imagine a large red swirl here.

Package: consolation Version: 0.0.8-1 Severity: normal Hey there. First, awesome tool, work so much nicer than gpm... this should be made more well known :-) But 2nd, is scorlling still expected to work? When in debug mode, I actually see that it recognises my two-finger scrolling (despite not having set --set-scroll-method=twofinger btw), but just nothing happens? I stumbled across that LWN post in which you've also commended. Was that finally removed from the kernel? Cheers, Chris. btw: Tapping does not seem to work out of the box, I do need to set the --enable-tap . -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.0 APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-6-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=en_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages consolation depends on: ii init-system-helpers 1.60 ii libc62.31-12 ii libevdev21.11.0+dfsg-1 ii libinput10 1.16.4-3 ii libudev1 247.3-5 ii lsb-base 11.1.0 consolation recommends no packages. consolation suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/default/consolation changed: DAEMON_OPTS="--enable-tap" -- no debconf information
