[SOLVED] touchpad vertical scrolling

After upgrading the x server (1.9.0-1), the following things are not working with my touchpad

* vertical scrolling (also horizontal, etc.)
* 3rd button emulation when pressing the two physical buttons together

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "touchpad catchall"
        Driver "synaptics"
        MatchIsTouchpad "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event/*"
              Option "TapButton1" "1"
              Option "TapButton2" "2"
              Option "TapButton3" "3"
              Option "VertEdgeScroll" "on"
              Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "on"
              Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "on"
              Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "on"
              Option "CircularScrolling" "on"
              Option "CircScrollTrigger" "2"
              Option "EmulateTwoFingerMinZ" "0"
EndSection

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep synaptic

[   117.364] (II) LoadModule: "synaptics"
[   117.364] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/synaptics_drv.so
[   117.364] (II) Module synaptics: vendor="X.Org Foundation"

Any help? I'm lost.

Re: [SOLVED] touchpad vertical scrolling

A member of the italian community has helped me solving the problem.

To enable the vertical scrolled I had to remove the following section in 10-evdev.conf

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "evdev touchpad catchall"
        MatchIsTouchpad "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "evdev"
EndSection

and the following line in 10-synaptics.conf

MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event/*"

Bye!
