Sorry for not replying earlier, other things got in the way. I noticed the second patch was committed. Anyway here is some feedback: On Wed, April 8, 2015 23:58, Rui Paulo wrote: > On Wednesday 08 April 2015 22:38:33 Jakob Alvermark wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> >> Tested on my Acer E3-112 with a TouchPad. >> >> >> It works, thank you! >> >> >> I have been missing two-finger scrolling, it was quite awkward using >> edge scrolling IMHO. >> >> It does feel like it sometimes gets stuck in scrolling mode.

It did. Both the old and the new driver generates button 2 events.

With the last update, it seem to have come back, although it feels like it does not happen as frequently as before. This is strange. As I said, sometimes the mouse pointer would just jump around like mad. Even if I don't touch the pad. The remedy is to disable it and enable again. (Fn + F7 on this Acer) Then it goes back to normal again. > >> Also, does it support horizontal scrolling? >> > > Yes, but Xorg needs to be patched. Any hints on that? > > -- > Rui Paulo > >
