Bugzilla – Bug 104588
Synaptics scroll functions don't work in YaST while installation
Last modified: 2008-06-25 09:52:18 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.
Created attachment 46208 [details] YaST2 logs from installation system (just bootet for that ;-)
Created attachment 46209 [details] hwinfo --mouse output from installation system 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 ;(
