I'm using libinput (/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/input/libinput_drv.so) on a Dell Inspiron N7110 laptop running F27 and vertical scroll works just peachy for me using two fingers on the touchpad. I see these entries in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file: [ 109.192] (**) AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint: Applying InputClass "libinput touchpad catchall" [ 109.192] (II) Using input driver 'libinput' for 'AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint' YMMV (your mileage may vary) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ri...@alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
