 Posted: Thu Mar 23, 2017 6:05 am Post subject: [Solved] two finger scroll with libinput stopped working |
 |
|
I'm not entirely sure what's happened here. I started my computer today and my touchpad wouldn't work. Not at all - no pointer movement, no clicking. Didn't even seem to recognize that it existed. But it worked yesterday. I reviewed yesterday's updates, but it was mainly the plasma 5.9.4 update. Nothing X related.
Eventually I figured out that synaptics/evdev drivers got installed (not yesterday, but on the 19th, oddly) and removed them, to get back to just libinput, which I've been running for a couple of months
That got my touchpad mostly functioning, but scrolling isn't working.
When I launch xev and test things, it seems to recognize the events. scroll up is button 4, down is button 5, left is button 6, and right is button 7. But if I try those same actions in an application, nothing happens.
The relevant section of my Xorg log is below. I don't see anything amiss, and the options match my configuration file.

| Try downgrading libinput to 1.4.2 if you updated it recently - new versions seem to be extremely buggy. |

I don't think that's it. A. I've been running a version higher than 1.4.2 since September. B. The last upgrade I did (to 1.6.3) happened on Mar 9, so 2 weeks before this problem started. |

| I just discovered something interesting. The problem is unique to X. When I try a plasma session on Wayland, it works correctly. |

I kind of figured it out.
I have (for some reason I haven't figured out yet) 2 different mouse devices for the same TouchPad. 12 and 13. If I disable device 13 (the extra one) then everything works the way it's supposed to.
So for now, I cna disable device 13, and my computer is usable. And I'll post back here if I figure out how to make this extra device not get created in the first place. |

Not exactly sure why this is, but I did figure out the source of the problem. I added an xorg config file to specify from mouse options (change the 2/3 finger tap options, and othre stuff). When I did that, I added
| Code: |
Option Device /dev/input/event12
|
For some reason this was causing the mouse to be added on both the event12 and mouse0 devices, and that was causing things to go all screwy. Removing that line fixed the problem - now back to one mouse device and it's working correctly. |
