https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=223827 Summary: Disable Synaptics horizontal scrolling by default Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: unspecified Platform: i686 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: sndirsch@novell.com ReportedBy: atte.nieminen@cs.helsinki.fi QAContact: sndirsch@novell.com I just installed 10.2 rc1 and found out that the really annoying feature of synaptics touchpad is still enabled. Thats the horizontal scrolling, which makes for example web browsing almost impossible. Don't know if someone actually like this feature, but it really should be disabled in the default installation. Why is it so annoying? The thing is that if one surfs the web (with firefox) and uses the touchpad, synaptics and its horizontal scrolling feature kicks in and activates the back/forward-function. All you need to do is move the cursor around and the web browser starts to act strangely So the horizontal sidescroll makes you go back and forward in your page history and it doesn't feel like normal behaviour . Operation is almost random, it happens really easily. Sax2 doesn't have an option to change the way the driver works. One has to either install a unofficial Ksynaptics rpm, which atleast in SLED crashed the whole X or edit xorg.conf. Not only should this be fixed asap, but including ksynaptics or similar in-house configuration tool should be pondered on.. The fix: if synaptics module is loaded in xorg add 'Option "HorizScrollDelta" "0" ' in the end of of the module -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
