Description:
Latest upgrade of xf86-input-synaptics package breaks the normal operation of my synaptics touchpad. The pointer is absolutely crazy making almost imposible to click where wanted. However, downgranding to the previous version (1.3.0-1) fixes all. Additional info: * package version(s) 1.3.0-2 * config and/or log files etc. 0 [musiolo@Kalisto ~]$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf 1 Section "InputClass" 2 Identifier "touchpad catchall" 3 Driver "synaptics" 4 MatchIsTouchpad "on" 5 MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" 6 Option "TapButton1" "1" 7 Option "TapButton2" "2" 8 Option "TapButton3" "3" 9 EndSection I could see that version 1.3.0-1 doesn't have the line 5 and works seamlessly. Thus, I figure out it should be reason of the problem. |

Sorry for the time I've spent to reply, but I've been quite busy and it's been impossible to me do find a gap to deal with issue properly.
Regarding the mouse issue, I have found a solution to it. The only thing I have had to do is to comment out the next section in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file:
# NOTE: It has to be commented out from version 1.3.0-2 of xf86-input-synaptics package.
#Section "InputClass"
# Identifier "evdev touchpad catchall"
# MatchIsTouchpad "on"
# MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
# Driver "evdev"
#EndSection
Besides this, I found the next differences in Xorg.0.log between both versions:
[musikolo@mypc ~]$ grep synaptics Xorg.0.log.1
[ 36.084] (II) LoadModule: "synaptics"
[ 36.085] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/synaptics_drv.so
[ 36.095] (II) Module synaptics: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
[musikolo@mypc ~]$ grep synaptics Xorg.0.log.2
[musikolo@mypc ~]$
Thus, I think it would be nice to inform users about this change so anyone has to suffer this problem as I did.
Best regards and thanks a million for your unconditional help! ;-)
