[ANNOUNCE] xf86-input-synaptics 1.4.99.1
First RC for synaptics 1.5. I don't want any big changes in now but let me know of any crashers that need to be fixed immediately. We've got a whole set of patches queued up for master that I don't want to merge in this cycle - especially given that 1.4 has been out for quite a while now. So here it is, the current state of synaptics that hasn't changed much for a while anyway. Many of the changes are cleanups in the driver, man pages and other changes that mostly help developers, not users. The next version (synaptics 1.6) should address more user issues. Aapo Rantalainen (1): Add synaptics orientation support Alan Coopersmith (1): Fix nose canellation typo in man page Alexandr Shadchin (11): Fix typo (resx - resy) Simplified mechanism for determining default size Renamed SynapticsDefaultDimensions in SanitizeDimensions Removing extra call SetDeviceAndProtocol() Delete empty alpscomm.h Move definition struct SynapticsHwInfo in ps2comm.h Renamed SynapticsHwInfo in PS2SynapticsHwInfo Remove arg proto_ops in ReadHwState() Remove extra definition CommData Rewrite mechanisn to detect Protocol and Device Now ps2comm and alpscomm backend optional Chase Douglas (2): Revert Default to 2-finger emulation when HW supports it Drain XRecord connection of any events after handling replies Christoph Brill (2): Add note about MatchDevicePath Update maintainer information Cyril Brulebois (1): Fix egde/edge typo in manpage and comments. Daniel Kurtz (1): conf: fix snippet to ignore /dev/input/mouse* on Linux Diego Elio Pettenò (7): build: report a fatal error if XORG_DRIVER_CHECK_EXT is undefined. build: sort building of tools, ensure that cross-pkg-config works. build: collapse all Makefile.am files into a single non-recursive one. build: install documentation as part of make install. README: fix typos. build: create object files following the sources' structure. build: apply the distcheck tricks used in xf86-input-evdev Gaetan Nadon (8): Revert build: apply the distcheck tricks used in xf86-input-evdev Revert build: create object files following the sources' structure. Revert build: install documentation as part of make install. Revert build: collapse all Makefile.am files into a single non-recursive one. Revert build: sort building of tools, ensure that cross-pkg-config works. tools: remove unrequired sdkdir include directive Add distcheck support for header files when sdk is not writable Add distcheck support for configuration files when dir is not writable Patrick Curran (1): Modified start_coasting to handle circular scrolling Peter Hutterer (40): Remove unused test directory (#35043) Revert Add synaptics orientation support Bump to 1.4.99 man: update source path for fdi file and shorten description. man: add short blurb about InputClass configuration in servers 1.8 conf: remove SHM example from fdi conf: add a descriptive header with warning to example config file eventcomm: add a missing break statement eventcomm: factor out finger counting. eventcomm: extern EventReadHwState to allow for testing. eventcomm: replace synaptics-custom TEST_BIT with server's BitIsOn. eventcomm: rename parameter name grab to test_grab eventcomm: document event_query_is_touchpad eventcomm: rewrite event_query_info to something more sane eventcomm: streamline absinfo retrieval. eventcomm: print an error when axis range failed. eventcomm: untangle state setting from printing device info eventcomm: move need_grab into a proto-specific struct. eventcomm: fix indentation in EventAutoDevProbe Don't autoprobe for devices when Option Device is set.

Re: double-tap and hold touchpad behavior

For a long time now I have been missing the old method that I used to use to highlight text, drag-and-drop, and move windows around. I used to be able to produce a button press-and-hold by performing a double-tap and hold (tap twice on touchpad, but leave the finger resting on the touchpad on the second tap). But with recent distributions the last few years, that doesn't work. Now, it seems, you have to double-tap, hold, and drag. Is there any way to re-enable the old double-tap-and-hold instead of the double-tap-and-drag? this probably doesn't help but I've just tried it here and it worked fine. you can disable it by unsetting the Synaptics Gestures property but it is enabled by default.

rminitadapter failed
Hi all! I'm stuck with possible X server error - when I boot OS it works for a while, 5-15 minutes and the X crashes with message 'rminitadapter failed'. I start it again after several minutes and it works fine for some time and then crashes again. I can't provide more details right now - I'll be able to post X server logs a bit later. Can anyone at least briefly explain what is going on and whether this problem can relate to X server, but not to my video card?..

udev action only for connecting VGA/HDMI cable but not for disconnecting
Hello all, I have an AMD Radeon HD 6310 with free radeonhd drivers running. Xorg version is 7.6, xserver is 1.10.3. I tried to define a udev rule to change my monitor settings autoamtically when I connect a VGA or an HDMI cable. Connecting works fine but disconnecting is not recognized. udevadm monitor shows: udevadm monitor monitor will print the received events for: UDEV - the event which udev sends out after rule processing KERNEL - the kernel uevent KERNEL[100.176249] change /devices/pci:00/:00:01.0/drm/card0 (drm) UDEV [100.869104] change /devices/pci:00/:00:01.0/drm/card0 (drm) for connecting. For disconnecting nothing happens. Of course with this it is not possible to define a rule to change resolution etc. when cable is disconnected. Is it simply not possible to detect disconntecting of a cable? Or is this a bug? Every help related to this is appreciated. Thank you very much!

I'd suggest filing a radeon drm bug (https://bugs.freedesktop.org) so we can track and debug this more easily. Please attach your xorg log and dmesg output to the bug report. If you want to see the hw events, you can edit evergreen_irq_process() in evergreen.c and enable HPD debugging messages. They are enabled when you enable drm debugging, but you'll probably lose them in the general debugging volume so I'd just enable them alone to make it easier to see the content. You should get a message on both plug and unplug events. Alex Thank you very much!

FYI: How I re-enabled emulation of a scroll wheel and middle button for a Logitech Marble mouse
I hope this saves time. I like to use Debian Linux's unstable distribution. Upgrading X broke my mouse. It's a Logitech Marble. It stopped: a.) Pasting the X selection when I pressed both of it's big buttons simultaneously. (No pasting is a big inconvenience.) b.) Emulating a scroll wheel. Here's how I worked around the problem: 1.) I created a directory for X configuration files $ mkdir /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d 2.) I used the configuration at http://www.thecodehouse.com/2011/02/27/my-logitech-marble-mouse-ubuntu-10-10/ for a file named /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-marblemouse.conf 3.) The following command revealed what my computer thought my mouse was named $ (cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log; lshal; udevadm info --export-db) | egrep -i mouse | less It was ImExPS/2 Logitech Explorer Mouse 4.) In /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-marblemouse.conf, I changed the value assigned to MatchProduct from Logitech USB Trackball to ImExPS/2 Logitech Explorer Mouse 5.) I restarted X by simultaneously pressing ctl-alt-backspace. 6.) I tested an emulated middle button by double clicking on some text, and pasting it by quickly holding and releasing the Logitech Marble's small left hand button. 7.) I tested an emulated scroll wheel by running an web browser, visit a long and wide web page, or resizing its window to be short and narrow, and try to scroll by holding the mouse's small left hand button down while rolling the marble a.) up and down, and then b.) left and right.

How to disable smoothed touchpad scroll events
Hi, Somewhere arround Fedora-14 a feature was introduced somewhere (either xorg or touchpad-driver) to smooth touchpad scroll events. This causes quite some troubles, as a few Applications change their zoom-factor on Ctrl+Scroll (e.g. FireFox or Geany editor), so when pressing Ctrl+Something right after scrolling, often a few scroll events are left and cause the zoom-factor to change. Is there a way to revert to the old behaviour?
