--------------- xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (1.8.0-1~exp2ubuntu1) utopic; urgency=medium * Merge from debian-experimental. -- Maarten Lankhorst <[email protected]> Wed, 02 Jul 2014 16:36:40 +0200 ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (Ubuntu) Status: Won't Fix => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1294515 Title: FFE: new upstream version to support touchpads on newer Lenovo models Status in “libevdev” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “xserver-xorg-input-synaptics” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Upstream has released -synaptics 1.7.99.1: A snapshot of what will be synaptics 1.8. There are a couple of significant changes in here: libevdev support: The evdev backend on Linux now uses libevdev. We recommend to use libevdev 1.1-rc1 or later as the synaptics driver is very likely to trigger SYN_DROPPED and we've fixed a bunch of issues in libevdev 1.1. Support for T440, T540, X240, Helix, Yoga: The bulk of the changes is to support this set of Lenovo touchpads. These touchpads don't have separate physical buttons for the trackstick and need to be emulated as software-button by the driver. TouchpadOff behaviour change: Synaptics has a property "Synaptics Off" to disable events. Previously, this disabled any event from the touchpad. Now, physical button clicks are allowed even when the touchpad is disabled. mtdev was dropped: There are no touchpad drivers in the kernel tree that use protocol A, so using mtdev is just a computationally expensiv and memory-wasting noop. this needs a newer libevdev too.
