[SOLVED] Synaptics scrolling does not work anymore

after today's update of
xf86-input-evdev
and
xf86-input-synaptics.

this is a part of my xorg.conf related to synaptics:
    Option       "SendCoreEvents" "true"
    Identifier     "Mouse[1]"
    Driver         "synaptics"
    Option         "Device" "/dev/psaux"
    Option         "Protocol" "auto-dev"
    Option         "LeftEdge" "1700"
    Option         "RightEdge" "5100"
    Option         "TopEdge" "1700"
    Option         "Bottom" "4200"
    Option         "TapButton1" "1"
    Option         "TapButton3" "3"
    Option         "FingerLow" "25"
    Option         "FingerHigh" "30"
    Option         "MaxTapTime" "180"
    Option         "MaxTapMove" "220"
    Option         "VertEdgeScroll" "true"
    Option         "VertScrollDelta" "100"
    Option         "MinSpeed" "0.06"
    Option         "MaxSpeed" "0.12"
    Option         "AccelFactor" "0.0010"
    Option         "SHMConfig" "on"
    Option         "HorizScrollDelta" "0"
    Option         "Vendor" "Sysp"
    Option         "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

any help would be appreciated

Take a look here. It worked for a few people, still didn't manage to get it working with my EEEPC 701.

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately after adding new fdi file scrolling still does not work.

should I go back to the old and trusty synaptics?
Or there is still a chance that "new and improved" stuff will work?

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: [SOLVED] Synaptics scrolling does not work anymore

yes, I did restart hall/X

this did not solve my problem but I run today again system upgrade and one of the updates (not available yesterday) was X server. This (it seems) resolved the issue and now touchpad is fully functional.

Thanks for all help
