This app loads its touchpad settings on KDE start (via a daemon I think) and after every application of modified settings in the kcm module, overriding the Xorg config. The issue is that synaptiks only checks for two finger capable touchpad and ignores the emulation. If the touchpad is not capable, without any regards to the emulation, it turns the twofingerscroll feature off (that's why it's disabled in the KCM settings). This issue should be reported to the author, Sebastian Wiesner <basti.wiesner@gmx.net>, telling him to either disable that capability check or better to implement the emulation features and settings. In the meanwhile you will have to remove synaptiks and use gsynaptics for further configuration. Somehow, and I could not figure why, synaptiks keeps installing itself with a zypper upgrade, hence make sure to block that package. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

From bug 612834:
Could you test the package mentioned there? I tested it, it works. That is, it lets me enable Two-Finger Scrolling.
However, the option of assigning two- and three-finger taps to mouse actions is still greyed out.
There is also a current svn snapshot available, in the KDE:Unstable:Playground Project. For KDE from openSUSE 11.3 this would be http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Unstable:/Playground/openSUSE... It would be great if you could test this package, to see if this problem is also fixed there. Otherwise this should probably be reported upstream. (Please avoid installing random other packages from this project, note the "Unstable" in its name.) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It is not fixed in that package, I can't select two-finger scrolling. How do we go about reporting upstream? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

How do we go about reporting upstream?
It would be great if you could report it on https://bitbucket.org/lunar/synaptiks/overview as I do not have a touchpad which has two finger emulation.

There is a related bugtracker issue for synaptiks: https://bitbucket.org/lunar/synaptiks/issue/38/support-for-two-finger-emulat... It seems the bug is fixed upstream, but only if synaptics 1.3 is installed. OpenSUSE 11.3 ships with 1.2.2. Hence, the bug may well be fixed although my test in comment #12 failed (because that test was done on 11.3). Which synaptics version ships with 11.4? I could test the current milestone on an usb stick, if this helps. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
