Same problem on my amd64 laptop 8.04 latest. Last solution fixed it. Looks like the latest xserver conf does not contain a serverlayout, which makes adding a new input device impossible without re-constructing it.
Can i suggest that these get fixed/pushed upstream: 1. the xorg build has touchpad tapping *off* by default. 2. that the auto generated xorg.conf always contain a serverlayout section. for people who have neved hacked an Xconf this can be confusing/upsetting. 3. that the gsynaptics - and other SHMConfig="on" packages actually set the option on installation, checking to see if the xorg.conf has a synaptics device and fixing it if not. Possibly some single dependency such as xorg-xconf-shmconfig-on? Not being able to turn off the touchpad has seriously screwed with my setup - i had to do a full reinstall because the fsking thing clicked through the use ati proprietry drivers and killed my box. -- [Hardy][Regression] Touchpad vertical scroll does not work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173411 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
