After updating synaptics from 0.14.2 to 0.14.3, I could not longer do a left mouse-click by tapping on my touchpad in KDE. In the KDE logon-manager (kdm), klicking by tapping on the touchpad is possible, but after I'm logged into my KDE-desktop, it does not longer work. When I create a new user and do my first login in KDE, I can click by tapping in the appearing configuration dialog where you select country and language. But if the desktop is "ready for use", it doesn't go anymore. I'm not able to do the setting in the KDE control center/attached devices/touchpad. When I do the settings here for one finger, it isn't saved in $HOME/.kde/share/config/ksynapticsrc. Settings for "two fingers" or "left bottom", for example, are saved correctly in the file. I've downgraded to 0.14.2, and everything worked again like it should. BTW: this is my synaptics config in /etc/X11/xorg.conf: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "SynapticsMouse0" Driver "synaptics" Option "Protocol" "auto-dev" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "MaxSpeed" "0.12" Option "MinSpeed" "0.06" Option "BottomEdge" "4200" Option "SHMConfig" "on" Option "LeftEdge" "1700" Option "FingerLow" "25" Option "MaxTapTime" "180" Option "EmulateMidButtonTime" "75" Option "MaxTapMove" "220" Option "FingerHigh" "30" Option "VertScrollDelta" "100" Option "TopEdge" "1700" Option "RightEdge" "5300" Option "AccelFactor" "0.0010" EndSection Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge synaptics Actual Results: click-by-tapping the touchpad doesn't work Expected Results: click-by-tapping the touchpad should work like before Portage 2.0.51.22-r2 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r0, 2.6.12-gentoo-r6 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.12-gentoo-r6 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.73GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.6.13 distcc 2.18.3 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] ccache version 2.4 [disabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5, 2.4.1-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.8 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.18-r1 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium-m -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/splash /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium-m -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks prelink sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" LANG="de_DE" LC_ALL="de_DE@euro.UTF-8" LINGUAS="de" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X alsa apm arts avi berkdb bitmap-fonts cdr crypt cups curl dvd dvdread emboss encode esd fam flac foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif gpm gstreamer gtk2 guile imagemagick imlib ipv6 java jpeg junit kde kdexdeltas libg++ libwww mad mikmod mmx mmxext motif mp3 mpeg ncurses nls ogg oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl png python qt quicktime readline samba sdl speex spell sqlite sse ssl svga tcltk tcpd tetex tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts uselocales vorbis xine xml2 xmms xv zeroconf zlib linguas_de userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LDFLAGS
Please don't assign bugs, if you don't know to whom.
I just performed this upgrade without issue. My xorg.conf: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "synaptics" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/input/event1" EndSection I can only suggest commenting out some of the options you have...I've had issues with options changing from one version to the next and causing settings to become invalid. Any reason you're not using the event interface?
I've changed the section, as you advised, and now the problem has gone. Thank you!
incorrect config is a local issue
not a valid bug
