the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL-6.8-20160218.n.0
xorg-x11-drv-synaptics-1.8.3-1.el6.x86_64
Steps to Reproduce:
Obtain a laptop with synaptic-compatible touchpad.
Make sure that xorg.conf include synaptic as an input device driver.
1. Start your laptop.
2. Watch Xorg.log
Actual results:
two bugs appear in Xorg.0.log:
(!!) BUG: Device "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" received a double tracking ID 0 in slot 0.
(!!) BUG: Device "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" received a double tracking ID 3 in slot 1.
Expected results:
No crashes or errors regarding synaptic should appear.
do you have the xorg logs from that run? Was this with a virtual device or something present?
you should only get that message when you receive events, and if you get ids in two slots then this would indicate two-finger scrolling or something.
Note that this is an error sent by libevdev (i.e. below synaptics) and it indicates a bad event sequence from the kernel. That can happen with virtual devices easily.
