Comment 21 for bug 591656

Thank you. It is interesting that there are two jumps in the end which may indicate that it is a highly accelerated right movement rather than a move-all-the-way-to-the-right command.

I think we have more or less what we need to send this issue upstream. I read up a little yesterday and came over the program synclient, which should dump the state of the touchpad every X milliseconds. I don't have touchpad, so I can't try it, but you may see if you can get some useful output of that. See `man synclient` for how to use it. What I'm wondering about is whether a touch in the scroll area changes something in the hardware state or whether it is simply the driver that chooses to interpret touch in this area in a special way. This is may be obvious to someone who know more about touchpads and the synaptics driver than me.

If you can get anything useful from synclient, that would be nice. We should forward this upstream soon in any case.
