Description Christian Boltz 2005-08-14 13:36:30 UTC

While installation, the scroll functions of synaptics touchpad (moving at the 
right margin of the touchpad or pressing the scroll buttons below the 
touchpad) misbehave: 
- scrolling down is interpreted as right-click (context-menu appears) 
- scrolling up is interpreted as left-click 
 
Funnily, scrolling with my USB mouse works, so this must be an synaptics 
issue.

Please, attach the YaST logs and output of  
hwinfo --mouse  
 
See http://www.opensuse.org/index.php/Submit_a_bug for details how to do it.

BTW: I also booted with my USB mouse/keyboard disconnected - it does not make
any difference.

the scrolling of the synaptics and alps pads are implemeted by a profile 
applied by SaX during installation this profile mode is not available and 
it's safer to no use the synaptics driver while installing. We have several 
problems with the driver itself and the internal structures of synaptics 
are a bit weird so I would suggest not to have that feature during 
installation

mass reopening all SuSE Linux bugs that are set to REMIND+LATER to change the resolution to WONTFIX (adapting to new policy)

Closing old LATER+REMIND bugs as WONTFIX - if you still plan to work on it, feel free to reopen and set to ASSIGNED.

In case the report saw repeated reopen comments, it's due to bugzilla timing out on the huge request ;(
