Experiencing the same with a Dell Inspiron 7573 running Mint 17. Various threads talk about setting AreaBottomEdge, which does fix scrolling with one finger. But when click and scroll, cursor continually jumps around the viewport. Created attachment 151161 [details] attachment-26166-0.html Confirmed also with kernel 3.16.3-1-ARCH and latest xf86-input-synaptics-1.8.1-1. 2014-09-20 9:35 GMT+02:00 <bugzilla-daemon@bugzilla.kernel.org>: > https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82361 > > mla <maurice.aubrey@gmail.com> changed: > > What |Removed |Added > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > CC| |maurice.aubrey@gmail.com > > --- Comment #1 from mla <maurice.aubrey@gmail.com> --- > Experiencing the same with a Dell Inspiron 7573 running Mint 17. > > Various threads talk about setting AreaBottomEdge, which does fix scrolling > with one finger.

I'd love to see this fixed. I can confirm this bug on several distros: Fedora 20, Ubuntu 14.04 (+ derviatives), Sabayon 14.11, Arch Linux, Manjaro (Arch derivative). Ubuntu 14.10, 14.04.1, and Fedora 21 have either patched the problem or created configuration workarounds.

I have also tested this laptop Dell Inspiron 7537 with RedHat 7.0 with NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M (a.k.a. N14P-GT) with dedicated 2GB RAM, workaround don't work. I also confirm this bug on a Dell Inspiron 15" 7000 with Ubuntu 14.04.1 On the ubuntu certified page this product ad listed as completely working with linux and there is written that is shipped also with ubuntu in some countries. Anyone has bought this version? I read that too and that's why I bought this laptop...apparently its not true. Created attachment 160771 [details] attachment-9192-0.html I installed Ubuntu 14.04 and 14.04.1 and it worked in the latter as well as 14.10. The fix appears to be Ubuntu-specific.

Created attachment 160791 [details] attachment-9613-0.html Are you using Ubuntu standard or something like Kubuntu or Xubuntu? My experience has been that all 14.10's have fixed the issue, but only the standard 14.04.1 has the fix. Don't ask me why because I do not know. You can always use 14.10. Also, Fedora 21 seems to have a fix, but the multitude of others I've tried do not.

It's possible I got my wires crossed in testing LTS and 14.10.

Is there somebody who understood what the ubuntu fix is? Created attachment 163541 [details] attachment-9827-0.html No, but I'll mention that Fedora 21 also has a fix.

oops - now the correct synaptics conf
As shown by xinput i only have 1 synaptics touchpad on arch with kernel 3.18.2-2-ARCH [ale@ZPC ~]$ xinput ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=15 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ ELAN Touchscreen id=11 [slave pointer (2)] ⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)] ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Video Bus id=8 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=9 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Sleep Button id=10 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Integrated_Webcam_HD id=12 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=14 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Dell WMI hotkeys id=16 [slave keyboard (3)] You could try to disable yours with: xinput set-int-prop NUMBEROFDEVICE "Device Enabled" 8 0 confirmed: xinput shows now 1 touchpad, same with dmesg. Do not know why dmesg showed 2 before... maybe the reboot... still - we need that ubuntu-fix for all distros upstream. still there with 3.18.3 still there with 3.19.1 what other infos / specs can I provide? seems to work with 4.0.1 Confirmed to work properly on 4.0.1-1-ARCH. I should close it now;) I can confirm the issue still exists on Kernel 4.5RC3 (Fedora 23 with Rawhide Kernel). My new Lenovo E460 laptop utilises an Alps touchpad and cursor jumps when I drag and drop with two fingers. It's pretty annoying and make the touchpad almost useless. Could someone please look into this? Thanks. Yeah, I can confirm this also. Kernel 4.0.1 may have worked but the bug is now back with my Synaptics touchpad: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=164671 Workaround: If your distro already offers libinput (the new input stack in town that will also used by wayland) you can switch to it. - libinput10 version 1.1.5 - xf86-input-libinput 0.16.0 are the packages that were just installed on my system. For me openSUSE Tumbleweed just switched to them automatically and so fixed the problem. I am sorry that I cannot provide info on how to switch manually (e.g. if it is needed to change any config files too) if you are on another distro. |
