Hi, The laptop was stolen from me, so i'm affraid I can't provide any more info. If no one else is affected feel free to close this. Thanks.
ok, thanks for the update. sorry to hear about the laptop though. closing this for now, please re-open if you can reproduce on some other machine.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=981963 I have the same problem with MSI GE60. The touchpad went nuts after the latest update (xorg-x11-drv-synaptics-1.7.1-3.fc19.x86_64). It worked fine some time before and in Fedora 18 (not sure how long edge scrolling hasn't worked, though, at least it worked in F18). Symptoms: - After resuming a suspend, or after starting/rebooting, a touchpad icon is flashing over the GDM login prompt, alternating with an X in the lower right corner of the touchpad and without an X. The same flashing of the touchpad icon is also seen on another desktop PC, which doesn't have a touchpad at all (F19 with all updates). - After a computer reboot, the touchpad is turned off and I can't turn it on at the login prompt, nor after logging in, using the keyboard hot keys (which worked before). I have to go to settings and manually turn on the touchpad. - Edge scrolling doesn't work anymore After a yum downgrade xorg-x11-drv-synaptics (to 1.7.1-2.fc19) the first two issues seems gone, but edge scrolling still doesn't work. I.e. I am able to turn off and on the touchpad using hotkeys both at login prompt and logged in and there is no flashing icon. Attached Xorg log.

It doesn't seem to be tied to these versions. The only I can tell is that it worked in F18.
Created attachment 778249 [details] 2nd Xorg log from MSI GE60 I see some different output in Xorg log now
This broke for me too when I upgraded to F19 on an Acer Extensa 5230E. The GUI settings tool seems to have a checkbox for two-finger scrolling, which is checked, and also greyed out. I fixed it at least temporarily with: gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.touchpad scroll-method 'edge-scrolling' Not sure yet if it'll persist. But I don't think it's a driver problem; I suspect the GNOME settings stuff has been dumbed-down too much...

Hi, this also occurs in Fedora Alpha 20 with gnome 3.10 Two fingers scroll is always enable, also if your laptop don't support (tested on a T400) so no scrolling. The only work around is using the command line: gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.touchpad scroll-method 'edge-scrolling'
I confirm that I could not use my laptop's touchpad for scrolling either on Fedora 20 Alpha. I fixed by going to "Settings" → "Mouse and Trackpad" and then disabling "Two finger scroll", which was enabled by default. My laptop is an Acer TravelMate TimeLine 8371 and it does not support two finger scrolling. I know this was an issue in the past, which was fixed in bug #960579 which is now closed. Since this has been confirmed to affect Fedora 20 Alpha as well, could the reporter please update the version to 20?
On Thinkpad T500, only Intel graphic card, same issue: no scroll available on the trackpad. The main difference with Comment #11 is that I can't disable "Two finger scroll" ("Défilement à 2 doigts" in screenshot). T500 trackpad does not support 2 finger scrolling as well.

had similar problem in a toshiba satellite L355D-S7901 with a synaptics trackpad. (could fix with dconf editing of comment#8 but left to see when it would repair itself). happy to report that the problem was fixed when fedup updated from fc19 to fc20 :') didnt track down the fix but currently working for my hardware with: kernel-3.12.8-300.fc20.x86_64 gnome-shell-3.10.3-1.fc20.x86_64 systemd-208.9.fc20.x86_64 control-center-1:3.10.2-4.fc20.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-synaptics-1.7.1-6.fc20.x86_64 thanks :')
