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.
