Bug Description
Touchpad scroll down side does not work on my Compal CL56 laptop after a default Dapper Flight 4 installation. It does work after a default Breezy installation.
It is not working in Dapper because there is no InputDevice section with the synaptics driver in xorg.conf, apperently the touchpad is not detected. After copying the following from my Breezy xorg.conf to my Dapper xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "HorizScrollDelta" "0"
EndSection
and adding InputDevice "Synaptics Touchpad" to the ServerLayout section of my Dapper xorg.conf touchpad scroll down side works in Dapper.

I don't really see why this bug is a duplicate of bug #28648, because that bug is about problems with the touchpad that can be fixed by adding a few lines to the synaptics InputDevice section of xorg.conf. But I do not have a synaptics InputDevice section after installation! (also not in Dapper Flight 5)
It is a duplicate of bug #32793, but that bug was also marked a duplicate of bug #28648.
Or are we not supposed to get a synaptics InputDevice section in xorg.conf anymore? In that case the test for scroll down side should be removed from LaptopTestingTe
