Touchpad scrolling stopped working for me with this kernel, for some odd reason.
Hi, i had just the same weird issue, for me, going to kde's systemsettings > mouse module fixes that. see https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/23330 cheers, marek sorry, my mistake. so i can confirm that kernel 2.6.38 breaks the sidebar scrolling on synaptics touchpad.
that's because there's some new multitouch code that has been merged, you should be able to scroll with two fingers anywhere on the touchpad now, this became the default behaviour. To get back the old style, just add: Option "VertEdgeScroll" "true" to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf (or whatever it is called on your machine)
I'm just curious. Where did you get this info from and how could a normal user know these things when they break? Maybe it's in a wiki somewhere or there's a arch kernel changelog?
As for myself I spent one day looking for a solution and found it in ksynaptics (in AUR - this should really get in official repos ;) ).
"man synaptics" gives you all the options. Also, there is no ksynaptics. -- Sven-Hendrik
