Description of problem: Copying comments 23 and 24 from Bug 462574. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=462574#c23 ------- Comment #23 From David Woodhouse (dwmw2) 2009-04-05 19:31:07 EDT It seems that gsynaptics-init is overwriting values from gconf. That wouldn't be so bad, now I've worked it out, but both gsynaptics and synclient seem unable to set AccelFactor larger than 0.2. Setting it to 1.2 works fine in the fdi file as long as nothing else ever touches out... ------- Comment #24 From David Woodhouse (dwmw2) 2009-04-07 21:18:06 EDT I'm not sure what the real maximum value for AccelFactor is, but it's definitely larger than 0.2. I think it's probably 1.0 -- I certainly don't see any difference above that, and I'm not even sure I see much difference above 0.8 or so. Fixing synclient to allow values up to 1.0 seems to make things work OK (I have to trick gsynaptics, by selecting the acceleration slider and then moving my mouse _far_ to the right of the gsynaptics window, which causes the value to go much higher than its intended 'maximum' of 200 :) --- a/tools/synclient.c +++ b/tools/synclient.c @@ -125,7 +125,7 @@ static struct Parameter params[] = { SYNAPTICS_PROP_SPEED, 0, /*float */ 0), DEFINE_PAR("MaxSpeed", max_speed, PT_DOUBLE, 0, 1.0, SYNAPTICS_PROP_SPEED, 0, /*float */ 1), - DEFINE_PAR("AccelFactor", accl, PT_DOUBLE, 0, 0.2, + DEFINE_PAR("AccelFactor", accl, PT_DOUBLE, 0, 1.0, SYNAPTICS_PROP_SPEED, 0, /*float */ 2), DEFINE_PAR("TrackstickSpeed", trackstick_speed, PT_DOUBLE, 0, 200.0, SYNAPTICS_PROP_SPEED, 0, /*float */ 3),
I know this doesn't fix the current problem, but we've now integrated touchpad support into gnome-mouse-properties. Worth having a look at. control-center-2.26.0-3 and gnome-settings-daemon-2.26.0-2
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '11'. 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 11'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 11 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 please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. 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: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 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.
