Description Tomas Hudziec 2016-03-17 14:38:30 UTC

Filed from caserun https://tcms.engineering.redhat.com/run/273975/

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.

I don't think this is an issue anymore.
