Description Anton Gubarkov 2018-06-07 08:07:08 UTC 
Since May 22nd 2018 I noticed that my laptop no longer honors the settings in touchpad: scrolling doesn't work (I have 2 finger scrolling set). Setting it to edge scrolling is a workaround that works. 

Right-click with 2 fingers doesn't work either. Area clicking is working instead. Changing this setting in gnome-tweak tool makes no difference.

I've reverted to dev-libs/libinput-1.10.6 and everything started to work as usual.

Besides, I lost all my Lenovo function keys: volume control, mic control, brightness control etc. Whenever I try to press them the following mesage is in the journal:

gsd-media-keys[6138]: Could not find accelerator for accel id 125

reverting to dev-libs/libinput-1.10.6 fixed that as well.
