Description Nathanel Titane 2011-11-10 03:05:27 UTC
Description of problem:

Hello guys,

Pretty new to fedora as I've been using Ubuntu for the past 3.5 years.

I started off with F15 a couple months back and my synaptics touchpad worked
fine without the requirement of any setting or tweak whatsoever - including
two-finger scroll and so on (which never happened to me in ubuntu btw).

I did a clean install of F16 yesterday to find that the two finger scroll
option and side scrolling are not working anymore.

I do have a snippet that I run on startup to correct the issue: basically the
sensor input value by default is way to high to oallow any actual sensing from
the pad.

can this be fixed asap?

Here's my snippet - feel free to run it through terminal and post your
feedback!:

xinput --set-prop --type=int --format=32 "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
"Synaptics Two-Finger Pressure" 10

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

latest up to date F16 input module for xorg-x11-drv-synaptics

How reproducible:

gnome-control-center > mouse > touchpad > two-finger scrolling on + side scrolling on

Actual results:

two finger scrolling not working nor side scrolling

Expected results:

two finger scrooling + side scrolling to function

Additional info: F16 i686 on HP G60-468CA

Two-finger scrolling is not working for me either. 

Upgrade install from F15, Lenovo Thinkpad T500.

Two-finger scrolling is enabled in the gnome mouse and touchpad settings applet.

Please check if this is a duplicate of Bug 738123

Comment 3 John Hein 2012-01-23 03:59:39 UTC
I had the same trouble on a Lenovo T61p.  The 'sudo synclient EmulateTwoFingerMinZ=29' hint from bug 738123 does get two finger scrolling working again for me.

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2013-01-16 16:54:06 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '16'.

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' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora.

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.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2013-02-13 21:02:15 UTC
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
