Created attachment 912955 [details]
Xorg.0.log

Description of problem:
After an upgrade touchpad speed is too slow and requires about 20 diagnoal swipes to come form one end to another on the screen.

It happened in update 66, before it worked fine.
    66 | update                   | 2014-06-27 15:46 | Update         |   26   
    65 | update                   | 2014-06-26 09:23 | Update         |   36 EE


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dnf downgrade xorg-x11-drv-synaptics

does not fix it


xorg-x11-drv-synaptics-1.7.1-5.fc20.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-synaptics-1.7.6-2.fc20.x86_64

So the root cause might lie elsewhere.

How reproducible:
Always, reboot or change in cinnamon settings/mouse touchpad settings does not change anything.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade 
2.
3.

Actual results:
Touchpad is too slow.

Expected results:
Work as before.

Comment 1 Bernhard Schuster 2014-06-27 20:24:33 UTC 
I am using a Dell Latitude D830 with Intel only GFX.
Comment 2 mikepparson 2014-06-27 22:04:53 UTC 
Seeing same behavior, using an Apple Macbook1,1 (first gen coreduo system), using the 32bit stuff, so, this is not 64 bit specific.

xorg-x11-drv-synaptics-1.7.6-2.fc20.i686

Helps a little, but not like it was:

synclient MinSpeed=6

Others reporting the same:

Comment 3 Bill B. 2014-06-28 00:14:15 UTC 
I have the same problem on a Dell Latitude E5510.  For me, the problem started on the morning of June 27th after doing updates on the evening of June 26th.  I plugged a USB mouse into the PC, it works fine.
Comment 4 mmunchinski 2014-06-28 01:08:47 UTC 
Observing same issue, Dell E6530, started after last update.

synclient MinSpeed=6 also temporarily corrected issue.

Comment 5 Bradley John Schaufenbuel 2014-06-28 01:15:50 UTC 
I have exactly the same problem on a Dell Latitude D620 with an Alps GlidePoint touchpad running Fedora 20 (32-bit).  The problem started after the last set of updates.  synclient MinSpeed=6 helps, but it is jerky / not the same.
Comment 6 Scott Sommerville 2014-06-28 03:13:03 UTC 
I can confirm I am having the same issue too on my Dell Inspiron N5110. Using "synclient MinSpeed=6" is helping a little. This definitely happened after I ran the most recent software updates this evening around 22:00 EST. Not sure which update is the culprit.
Comment 7 k4rtik 2014-06-28 06:09:04 UTC 
Same problem, Dell Latitude E6430.

I have the same problem. After do a yum update, and restart the system, my mousepad back with a very slow movement.

Dell 1420
