Hello,
Where does the default number 50xx for RightEdge in synaptics driver come
from? Is it autodetected or simply hard-coded? On my touchpad, it is
actually closer to 6000. Interestingly, when I put my finger on the marked
scroll area on the right, the x value reported by synclient jumps from
59xx to exactly 8176. Only y changes its value in the scroll area.
Could this be fixed in synaptics driver somehow, so I don't have to edit
xorg.conf manually?
Also, somehow the driver fails to report scrolling event from time to
time, if I set the RightEdge value too high. For example, if I set it to
5973 with synclient, it works ok (scrolling is reported as Button 4 & 5 by
xev). But when I set it to 5974, the vertical scrolling simply stops
working, all I got was pefect up-down movement of the pointer
(MotionNotify event). The next time I logged in, the edge value was
actually higher, 5985 if I remember correctly, really strange.
Thanks,
Egon
