Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
Hello,
I have a brand new laptop, Acer 7720G. I installed Hardy beta, and have
applied all updates as of today. I found a minor glitch with the
touchpad. The middle button is a 4-way scroll button. However the
vertical scroll function behaves in the opposite way as expected: when I
press the lower edge, it scrolls up, and when I press the upper edge, it
scrolls down. I dual-boot Hardy with Win Vista which came pre-installed
and which I admittedly did not wipe out yet ;-) In Vista it works the
other way round which seems more reasonable. dmesg says the touchpad is
an ALPS PS/2 glide point, in the installer generated xorg.conf it uses
the synaptics driver. I reviewed the other synaptics LP entries but
haven't seen a similar report, so I think this is new.
I use a USB mouse in parallel which works fine. I can plug the mouse out
and in and both the touchpad and the mouse work fine except for this
touchpad scroll issue. It also does not matter if the mouse is not
plugged in when X starts up.
Here are the version numbers:
