X.org update: Horizontal scrolling with touchpad doesn't work anymore

Today I updatet my xorg. Now horizontal two-finger and edge scrolling don't work anymore although they're activated in the /etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-x11-synaptics.fdi.

My 11-x11-synaptics.fdi looks like this:

Re: X.org update: Horizontal scrolling with touchpad doesn't work anymore

I had this issue too. I used Synaptic until the new update. In your xorg.conf file, add the VertEdgeScroll and HorizEdgeScroll switches. That should get it working (that's all it took for me).

Same here, there's a detailed wiki entry for synaptic devices

Re: X.org update: Horizontal scrolling with touchpad doesn't work anymore

I would suggest your values for "LeftEdge", "RightEdge", "TopEdge", and "BottomEdge" are suspect. How did you go about discovering these values? Did you simply take them from someone else's .fdi for what was likely a differently-sized touchpad? yikes

Try commenting those lines--let X/HAL autodetect the correct settings whenever possible.

Re: X.org update: Horizontal scrolling with touchpad doesn't work anymore

My mistake. Touchpad works, but not like it was used to be. Now i  need tweek my configuration. I generated this .fdi file from my xorg.conf, wich worked exelent for 2 years.
I think this threed should be marked as solved
