Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xorg
Running feisty on a laptop with a Synaptics touchpad. After installation of feisty, everything works fine. The touchpad has a 4-way scroll button in the middle of the two standard buttons. Tapping on the touchpad is interpreted as a click or double click. Double-tap-and-hold-and-drag works as click-and-drag. If I remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf, everything keeps on running OK, (in fact it *seems* faster -- can it be?) but the touchpad loses its tap-and-drag and scroll-key abilities, and acts as a simple mouse, just as if there were no Synaptics entry in xorg.conf. In fact, Xorg.0.log has these lines: (WW) The core pointer device wasn't specified explicitly in the layout. Using the default mouse configuration. If I restore xorg.conf, everything goes back to normal. I know this is not an even slightly severe bug, but it seems to be a bug in hardware detection nonetheless, so I though I might as well report it. ** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- If xorg.conf is removed, Synaptics touchpad not detected https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/112664 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
