$ synclient -l | grep Edge
    LeftEdge                = 40
    RightEdge               = 983
    TopEdge                 = 42
    BottomEdge              = 725
    VertEdgeScroll          = 1
    HorizEdgeScroll         = 1
    EdgeMotionMinZ          = 14
    EdgeMotionMaxZ          = 79
    EdgeMotionMinSpeed      = 1
    EdgeMotionMaxSpeed      = 102
    EdgeMotionUseAlways     = 0

You were right, calibrating as explained in the manual page (using
synclient -m 1), I managed to get back vertical scrolling using :
$ synclient RightEdge=930

No issue for me anymore, thanks!

As a side note, all options in hal fdi files must have a "string"
type, otherwise, it does not work.

syndaemon used to complain when SHMConfig is disabled... But this is
not the case anymore. Thanks.

By the way, the syndaemon manual page still lists a -s option (to use
the SHMConfig area), but it is not accepted by syndaemon.

Cheers,
