synaptics 4-way scroll no work

[SonWon]

The following codes will enable the 4-way scroll.

# set Left-scroll to act like Left-arrow
setkeycodes 5a 105

# set Right-scroll to act like Right-arrow
setkeycodes 59 106

# set Up-scroll to act like Up-arrow
setkeycodes 69 103

# set Down-scroll to act like Down-arrow
setkeycodes 68 108

The 4-way scroll is suppose to scroll the contents of a window. It looks like a D-pad under the touchpad and is on some laptops. I suspect it is part of the Synaptics touchpad? I know that setting the above keycodes makes the 4-way scroll work. Windows doesn't even do this, anyway if you will tell me where to look I'll get you the hardware information. I looked in device manager but did not see anything there that looked like the 4-way scroll pad? It could be there maybe just not identified as such? I suppose it could also be linked in the version or type of touchpad?

Version: Dapper Drake.

Hi, thanks for your bug report. However, we need some more information to be able to solve the problem.
Can you please provide a detailed description of the problem? We also need the version of Ubuntu used and - when possible - the steps to reproduce the problem.

I know that setting the above keycodes makes the 4-way scroll work. I dug these up off the Internet. I thought the installer should recoginize this pad and setup so I posted a bug report.

Oops, almost forgot, Dapper Drake.

Please let me know how I can help, thanks.

Some info provided, is it enough?

[Roel Huybrechts (rulus)]

I changed the package to 'xorg-driver-synaptics'.

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 alpha?
