The mouse driver and other input drivers in XFree86 have not changed between Fedora Core 1 and current. I suspect that any difference in behaviour is caused by kernel changes from 2.4.x to 2.6.x, however I do not have this hardware and can not test or try to reproduce this personally. I'm carbon copying some kernel people who may be able to help determine if this is a kernel problem or XFree86 problem. I have FC1 with both kernel-2.4.22-1.2149.nptl and kernel-2.6.1-1.65 on a Compaq Presario 2100 laptop. 2.4 kernel handles touchpad with support for tap (acts as click) and scroll section on right side (acts as scroll wheel). The 2.6 kernel handles touchpad for mouse movement, but no response to tap, and scroll area causes mouse vertical movement instead of scrolling. This is definitely a kernel problem. Dmesg excerpt: Synaptics Touchpad, model: 1 Firmware: 5.9 Sensor: 35 new absolute packet format Touchpad has extended capability bits -> multifinger detection -> palm detection input: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad on isa0060/serio1 Disabling synaptics support fixed this for me. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=112473 Ok, this issue does seem to be a duplicate of bug #112473. Closing as dupe... *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 112473 *** Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
