Bug 1399371

Update:

Under Cinnamon, it works as expected.. the mouse movement is too slow, compared with before that switch, but thats adjustable.

Under GNOME:

the above problems persist.

leigh: why is cinnamon-desktop requiring xorg-x11-drv-libinput? shouldn't be needed, we have it in comps for the default install and AFAIR cinnamon supports both drivers anyway so it doesn't matter what is installed. Can we remove this please?

(In reply to customercare from comment #0)

> How can i get rid of libinput ?

override it

su
ln -s /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-cinnamon-evdev.conf
ln -s /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/60-libinput.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-cinnamon-libinput.conf


as I don't intend to readd the override to cinnamon-desktop

Yes, I will do it next time I rebuild it unless you wish to do it sooner.

So mouse acceleration working is working as expected after adjusting it in cinnamon-settings

Is mousewheel still upside down?, if so maybe that's a libinput hardware detection issue.

gnome-mouse-prefs?, do you mean cinnamon-settings?

So Gnome is broken?

And Cinnamon is working OK?

fwiw, for the BYD touchpads that's a kernel bug, see bug 1352159.

To clarify this:

I have installed both desktops: Cinnamon and Gnome .

I like gnome, but it has a degrading performance over time of usage,
so i use Cinnamon @ Work .

--

The problems occure with GNOME, since the libinput driver for Cinnamon got installed.

a) The accelleration controls in PREFS are not working for Gnome.
   (This could be a different problem, i observed it before)

b) The accelleration props for xinput are gone
   (checked it under Cinnamon, and new options appeared, due to the switch to libinput in general)

c) The MouseWheel was upsidedown under GNOME

--

There are no problems under Cinnamon. I just had to slightly adjust the mousemovement speed. The Mousewheel is working normaly. 

--

My PS/2 Mouse is misdetected as a TouchPad, but that was also the case long before those changes happend. As it worked ok for years, i won't call it a bug, just a minor glitch.

Since gnome is libinput only I doubt cinnamon caused it.

Scott is right, it was this libinput driver for Xorg 

xorg-x11-drv-libinput-0.19.0-2.fc24.x86_64

more likely a control-center issue, reassigning

judging by the xinput output in comment #0 the device doesn't look like a touchpad based on the properties (despite the Touchpad string in the name). tapping isn't available and neither are scroll methods other than button scrolling.

what's the output of xinput list --long for this device?

Please attach an evemu-describe for this device too, makes reproducing this easier.

@Scott: 

Tried it out and rebooted: NO CHANGE 


X is still using libinput, and under gnome ist up-side-down scrolling.

removing links again...

'l' sorts after 'e' so if you put both symlinks in place, you overrode your evdev override with libinput again :)

device looks like a normal mouse, but this is the BYD touchpad, have you looked at Bug 1352159, specifically comment 7 there?

i think i can answere this without it: USERSPACE 

why, because some time after the update, i had to restart the X Server,
and BEFORE the restart it worked ok, after the restart i got the up-side-down thinggy. All with the same kernel running.

(In reply to customercare from comment #15)
> i think i can answere this without it: USERSPACE 

right, but it would've taken less than 2 minutes to provide a definitive answer...

if the wheel behaviour is correct (i.e. not inverted by the kernel) then you have natural scrolling enabled. Now that I re-check the list-props output above it does say:
	libinput Natural Scrolling Enabled (294):	1

so this command should fix that issue then:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.mouse natural-scroll false

This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining

bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '24'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not

of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Fedora 24 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-08-08. Fedora 24 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
