Using 3.20 for a couple of months now, no idea what you are describing. Did notice some applications scrolling in the wrong direction, but that was only on wayland Created attachment 440170 [details]
Mouse and touchpad settings
Natural scrolling is enabled
I expect that when I swipe my two fingers over the touchpad, the content of the window moves in the direction I move my fingers. This worked ok in 3.18. Now, when I swipe two fingers, I move the scroll bar in the direction of the swipe. The content moves in the opposite direction. This happens now always, regardless of the setting I indicated in the previous screenshot. In 3.20 mouse and touchpad settings only work for libinput, so xf86-input-libinput driver in case of Xorg. Are you using something different? If yes, this is probably a duplicate of bug 580474 where we track on getting this driver chosen better out of the box. I believe if you aren't using libinput, gnome-control-center when launched from terminal will spit out a warning there. I would prefer it give a notification in the GUI, but yeah. indeed, I'm using synaptics And the gnome-control-center gives a warning in the term (gnome-control-center:7966): mouse-cc-panel-WARNING **: Detected synaptics X driver, please migrate to libinput Can you recommend the best way to migrate? I've changed /ect/portage/make.conf #INPUT_DEVICES="evdev synaptics" to INPUT_DEVICES="libinput" ans asked to update world with --changed-use Portage suggested [ebuild R ] x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.18-r1::gentoo INPUT_DEVICES="-acecad -aiptek -elographics -evdev* -fpit -hyperpen -joystick -keyboard (-libinput) -mouse -mutouch -penmount -synaptics* -tslib -vmmouse -void -wacom" VIDEO_CARDS="intel nvidia -amdgpu -apm -ast -chips -cirrus -dummy -epson -fbdev -fglrx (-freedreno) (-geode) -glint -i128 (-i740) -mach64 -mga -neomagic -nouveau -nv (-omap) (-omapfb) -qxl -r128 -radeon -radeonsi -rendition -s3 -s3virge -savage -siliconmotion -sisusb (-sunbw2) (-suncg14) (-suncg3) (-suncg6) (-sunffb) (-sunleo) (-suntcx) -tdfx (-tegra) -tga -trident -tseng -vesa -via -virtualbox -vmware (-voodoo)" 0 KiB I wonder what blocks my libinput input device spec from make.conf. I tried to remove xf86-input-evdev xf86-input-synaptics and emerged xf86-input-libinput. As a result, my touchpad stopped working. When I run gnome on wayland, touchpad works ok, natural scroll works ok, but gnome is very unstable. Created attachment 441212 [details]
Xorg.log
I think libinput stuff from INPUT_DEVICES might still be stable masked due to missing stabilizations for some arches or something. You can just install the driver without having it pulled in via meta packages from INPUT_DEVICES, as you seem to have done by now. I don't know about non-working touchpads, they should work fine with xf86-input-libinput to my knowledge. What stuff do you have in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ ? no /etc/X11/xorg.conf

that cat * doesn't show what part is from what file.
Mostly wondering from what file and why the part with this chunk is from:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad catchall"
Driver "synaptics"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
I don't remember why this snippet was there... The file dated back 2014. I have removed it and my touchpad works as expected now. Thanks! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 580474 *** |
