Re: Tablet pc (wacom based) not configured by default in hardy: why?
On the topic of necessary things disappearing from xorg.conf...scrolling on touchpads is still broken. I've gotten used to using real scrollbars since I've been on Hardy for two months, but I really doubt anyone will be pleased about the regression. I can't find the bug at the moment, but the Synaptics section is missing from xorg.conf as well, so no scrolling is available. Can't just use GSynaptics, of course, because that requires having a synaptics section in xorg.conf in which you can enable synclient.

Afaik, those lines were removed to make the xorg.conf completely basic, because devices should be added and configured automatically by xorg in hardy. Seems as if the autoconfiguration doesn't see the tablet, and so they should be put back in. -- Sebastian Breier [EMAIL PROTECTED] signature.asc Description: Dies ist ein digital signierter Nachrichtenteil -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
