@Romain1101,

Doing xinput list-props 7 (substituting for your device number) do you have the first number
of "Synaptics Edge Scrolling" as a 1? This is what I believe is being set to True by Alberto's patch. I'll bet that's what you need. Perhaps the double click detection is something you have and I don't because this is already a 1 for me.

My edge motion always is 0 and my vertical scrolling works. I do not have a special area of the touchpad for scrolling as I read about in some of the documentation, it is simply the right side of the normal touchpad I use.

If the x value for the edge is higherfor you than before and you have a smaller touchpad than I do perhaps that could explain our different results. You might try lowering the second value of "Synaptics Edges", though my value for this is 1532, rather than the 6051 reported above by Max.

I try to figure out what the various xinput properties are by comparing the xinput properties list to the output of "man synaptics", the xorg.conf parameters.

Just some ideas. I hope one helps.

@Alberto:

Thanks for the fast patches. Wow!

Do you think that palm detection ought to be turned on by default as before or should Ubuntu follow upstream?
