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?
I was hit by this "bug" during -rc phase, I just exchanged some few emails with the kernel input maintainer (Dmitry Torokhov) who kindly helped me to solve that.
