2006-02-20 01:05:10 Alex Muntada description Just upgraded my Ubuntu from Breezy to Dapper this weekend and the most obvious failure I see is that my Synaptics TouchPad became slower and the button-events (through touchpad press) don't work anymore; I must press the actual buttons. I'm guessing it's a Synaptics driver failure because if I plug an USB mouse, it works fine. Just upgraded my Ubuntu from Breezy to Dapper this weekend and the most obvious failure I see is that my Synaptics TouchPad became slower and the button-events (through touchpad press) don't work anymore; I must press the actual buttons. I'm guessing it's a Synaptics driver failure because if I plug an USB mouse, it works fine. I also tried changing mouse motion preferences, but it didn't have any effect on the Synaptics TouchPad behaviour.

I tried changing mouse motion preferences, but it didn't have any effect on the Synaptics TouchPad behaviour (I need 7 movements to move the mouse pointer from one corner of the screen to the opposite). I'm guessing it's a Synaptics driver failure because if I plug an USB mouse, that mouse works fine. BTW, the xserver-xorg-input-synaptics version installed is 0.14.3+seriouslythistime-0ubuntu2.
2006-02-26 14:59:42 Alex Muntada summary Since I upgraded my Ubuntu from Breezy to Dapper my Synaptics TouchPad became much slower and the button-events (through touchpad press) don't work anymore; I must press the actual buttons. I tried changing mouse motion preferences, but it didn't have any effect on the Synaptics TouchPad behaviour.

I found a duplicate candidate for this bug report, though I haven't experienced problems until I upgraded to Dapper (before that the TouchPad worked fine): https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/32058

2006-02-26 18:41:17 Alex Muntada xserver-xorg-input-synaptics: statusexplanation I've discovered how to solve this. Dunno how to proceed now... Should I consider the bug resolved? The thing is that this will most probably be an issue for a lot of people too.
