Dear Maintainer,

after some update autorepeat of scroll buttons on my touchpad had stopped to work.
Now I have found that some default setting changed and I must set option to enable it.
I have found in man page "synaptics" options
        Option "UpDownScrollRepeat" "on"
        Option "ScrollButtonRepeat" "100"
But they do not work.
In the log file I see only one of them:
[    31.182] (--) synaptics: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: Vendor 0x2 Product 0x7
[    31.182] (**) Option "ScrollButtonRepeat" "100"
[    31.182] (--) synaptics: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: touchpad found

Moreover, synclient -l does not show these options and do not allow to set them.

sergey@notebook:~$ synclient UpDownScrollRepeat=on
Property for 'UpDownScrollRepeat' not available. Skipping.

Hi,

Sergey Dorofeev <sergey@fidoman.ru> (19/11/2011):

the bug script output below says:
| /etc/X11/xorg.conf does not exist.
| /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d does not exist.

How did you try? Anyway, I don't think it matters much, see below.

Those options might be hardware-specific, I'll have to check that.
UpDownScrollRepeat appears in “synclient -l” output here, and can be set
this way. (Beware, you want =0 or =1 for bools in synclient.)

What was the last version with those options working for you?

Mraw,
KiBi.

It is at /usr/share/X11
I cannot find any clue or setting of it.
But the file "key" contains only two numbers
$ cat /sys/class/input/input6/capabilities/key
6420 0 630000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
I cannot tell it, problem persists some months, I hoped that it will be
soon fixed (as some bugs with video) and did not log versions.
