i had a similar problem after the upgrade. this is not a bug. the driver does not use xorg.conf any more. you have to specify your configuration through hal. copy /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/11-x11-synaptics.fdi to /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ and modify it! i use only scrolling on my touchpad and my file looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <deviceinfo version="0.2"> <device> <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.touchpad"> <match key="info.product" contains="Synaptics TouchPad"> <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">synaptics</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.VertEdgeScroll" type="string">1</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.LeftEdge" type="string">0</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.RightEdge" type="string">1</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.HorizEdgeScroll" type="string">1</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.VertTwoFingerScroll" type="string">0</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.HorizTwoFingerScroll" type="string">1</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton1" type="string">0</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton2" type="string">0</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton3" type="string">0</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.RTCornerButton" type="string">0</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.RBCornerButton" type="string">0</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.LTCornerButton" type="string">0</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.LBCornerButton" type="string">0</merge> <!--<merge key="input.x11_options.UpDownScrolling" type="string">1</merge> --> <!-- Arbitrary options can be passed to the driver using the input.x11_options property since xorg-server-1.5. --> <!-- EXAMPLE: <merge key="input.x11_options.LeftEdge" type="string">120</merge> --> </match> <match key="info.product" contains="AlpsPS/2 ALPS"> <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">synaptics</merge> </match> <match key="info.product" contains="appletouch"> <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">synaptics</merge> </match> <match key="info.product" contains="bcm5974"> <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">synaptics</merge> </match> </match> </device> </deviceinfo>

This is a bug as no options are required with 0.15.x or manually configuring hal, all this has done is reversed what hal was originally designed to be. A full auto configuration tool of hardware.
Created attachment 172331 [details] 10-x11-synaptics.fdi This is the same hal config I have always used as well and scrolling is busted, It should not require any configuration options just to get basic scrolling avaliable.
for me its working fine. and for me hal has exactly done what it should do. my touchpad was configured automatically, although it was completly different from what i used to use. on my touchpad scrolling was enabled by default by moving with 2 finger tips.
0.99.2 has a few small bugfixes, would you mind seeing whether that clears it up for you?

I agree. All the basic options such as tap to click and scrolling should be configured by default. Otherwise it defeats the purpose of hal.

I also tried to use config file provided in comment #1. IMHO, if the new version stops working, and there is no auto migration/configuration steps, the this is a regression.
This is turning into a generic discussion about what HAL should and should not do. I can not help you with that. I must agree with Rene Meier's assessment of the situation, especially if you see no difference from 0.99.1 to 0.99.2 We package the software as it is provided upstream, they have changed their behaviour. You now need to specify the configuration differently, which you have not done. This is not a bug, and as such I am marking this report invalid.
