Not sure what will happen to this bug until Lenny is released, but since Adding a ServerLayout section after adding a InputDevice for the synaptics touchpad and the scroll works afterwards, maybe if time doesn't allow it to be fixed properly, we should revert the code that actually placed that code in xorg.conf.


Personally, I hope that this regression will be fixed properly before the release :-).

This bug is fixed in xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
0.14.7~git20070706-2.2, as far as I'm concerned.  The driver will be
loaded automatically if a touchpad is detected.  No xorg.conf
modification needed.  No non-default options are set, but I don't think
that should be a problem, you can play with xorg.conf for that if you
want.

Agreed, closing.
The non default options were not added before as well.

I installed yesterday 0.14.7~git20070706-2.1.lenny1, I removed the InputDevice section and the ServerLayout section from xorg.conf, and indeed, the problem is fixed.

The problem is that I need to readd the InputDriver section since, by default, 'SHMConfig' is not 'true' and gsynaptics and other synaptics configuration tools don't work. Is there a security reason why this option isn't already true, by default? Is changing this to be the default difficult?
