Bug#482798: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics: please support differing x and y scales
Package: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
Version: 0.14.7~git20070706-2
Severity: normal
When I draw circles on my touchpad, they come out as rather tall
ellipses (perhaps twice as high as wide). If a full scroll from top
to bottom of the touchpad goes the full vertical distance on the
screen, then a full horizontal scroll only goes about halfway to 3/4
across the screen.
My left, right, top and bottom edges are the default and seem
reasonable:
LeftEdge = 1700
RightEdge = 5300
TopEdge = 1700
BottomEdge = 4200
and synclient -m 1 shows that moving over the full range of the pad
generates reasonble numbers correponding to the above.
Perhaps the wide touchpad combined with the wide display, and perhaps
an assumption that both are square is fouling the aspect ratio up, but
it would be nice nevertheless if the user could specify the MinSpeed
and MaxSpeeds for X and Y seperately, because even though I prefer the
aspect ratio to be such that circles draw circles, perhaps other
people don't like that.
I don't know whether any such differing multiplication factors would
want to apply to horizontal vs vertical scrolling. I suspect they are
fine as is.
