[regression] auto-dev breaks vertical scrolling touchpad in Edgy

Already release but vertical scrolling doesn't work

Is there anybody?

Same for my Dell D620 ....no vertical scroll....used to work fine in Dapper

Can you try to make the relevant part of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf look like this:
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
        Driver "synaptics"
        Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
        Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
        Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
        Option "HorizScrollDelta" "0"
EndSection

To do this in Ubuntu, open a terminal with Applications>Accessories>Terminal
type:
1. sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.63714
2. gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Scroll to the place where it says
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
        Driver "synaptics"

blabla and make it look like above.

if that doesn't work, try changing the auto-dev (see above text) with PS2
so it will look:
...
        Option "Protocol" "PS2"
...

Pls let us know which, if any of them, work.

oh, of course, you have to restart X to see if it's working (ctrl+alt+backspace)

ok...the first way was my "default" edgy setup which didn't work,
changing the protocol didn't work either....I don't think it's a problem
with the x config ....

For SONY VAIO VGN-FS115MR:

* The first way is my "default" edgy setup which doesn't work.

* The second (Option "Protocol" "PS2") WORKS OK.

> changing the protocol didn't work either...

you might wanna file another bug and attach your xorg.conf file there. the reporter of this bug seems to have troubles with protocol thingy, which is something I came across on the forums quite a few times.

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=307670&highlight=touchpad had same problem with protocol as auto-dev

Correction:

For SONY VAIO VGN-FS115MR:

Both ways DON'T work AFTER START Ubuntu.

Both ways work AFTER X restart using Ctrl-Alt-Backspace IN Ubuntu.
