Touchpad scroll problem in FC3

[Vert]

Hello

I can't get scrollwheel to work on touchpad! OS: FC3 (Asplinux-10, based on FC3, Notebook: Fujitsu Siemens P7010

First, I tryed basic system settings, in system-config-mouse I choose syanptics. Scrollwheel didn't work. Then I corrected Xorg.conf:

Option "AccelFactor" "0.0015"
Option "SHMConfig" "on"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
# Option "Repeater" "/dev/ps2mouse"
EndSection
----------------------------------------------

I Also tryed to set different kernel parametres in grub.conf but still no luck. Touchpad works great, I also compiled Qsynaptics (ksynaptics) and was able to change sensitivity in GUI, but SCROLL still didn't work!
Compiling the latest synaptic_drv.o, but still no result.


I think, there are some tricks with fedora, maybe problem is in my kernel (2.6.9-1.681).

Need help!
Thanks

FC3 distribution comes with the Synaptics Touchpad driver. For installation instructions, see the INSTALL file at /usr/share/doc/synaptics-0.13.5/INSTALL.

Good luck!!!

First I tryed original driver that comes with FC3, read this INSTAL
but it didn't help

I have it all working fine. Here are my settings... I wonder if the /dev/input/mice is the important difference? Could be something to do with udev in FC3???

Driver "synaptics"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"

I think it is.

I have a IBM ThinkPad T41, the touchpad works right after FC3 installation, so I did not really go through the instructions.

Here are my settings.

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
Option "SHMConfig" "on"
EndSection

This is interesting because it doest not appear to work will all models.

The scroll on my touchpad does not work either. I believe this to be because my touchpad is actually and ALPS touchpad and its support is not compiled into the kernel as per the synaptics driver instructions. I have not had the time or need to try this yet but maybe you do?
