Hi all,
I did a pacman -Syu, and my touchpad doesn't scroll anymore
I tried modifiying my xorg.conf with no results.
It appears that it is working with the normal ps2 mouse
driver and not the synaptics anymore. And whenever I comment
out the configuration for the ps2, well the mouse doesn't work at
all.
Its a dell inspiron 1420. And my xorg.conf of the synaptics part
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "HorizScrollDelta" "0"
Option "SHMConfig" "on"
EndSection

Do you 'synaptics' in the Modules section of xorg.conf?
Section "Module"
...
Load "synaptics"
...
EndSection

Any chance you have [testing] enabled? If so, the synaptics driver was replaced by xf86-input-synaptics (for me at least) and has borked my scrolling as well.
archlinux - please read this and this — twice — then ask questions.

mmmm, I did load synaptics in xorg.conf.
and I uninstalled synaptics removed testing repo
and reinstalled and still no results,
I have not removed the old synaptics package from my cache,
maybe I'll just install that one...
Thanks for the suggestions

Found the issue, I had upgraded xorg-server to the one in the
testing repositories. I downgraded to the one in extra
with the video card drivers (they were also from testing) and the
touch-pad is now working. :=)

For anyone looking for the proper solution, you must now explicitly enable the scroll zones in the synaptics InputDevice section of xorg.conf:
Option "VertEdgeScroll" "true" # enable vertical scroll zone
Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "true" # enable horizontal scroll zone

Thayer that worked to get the scrolling back. But my cursor moves significantly slower than it used to and the tapping to click doesn't work. Do you know how to fix it?
Offline
I was able to fix it! I looked at the wiki and all was good.
You need to add
Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "TapButton2" "2"
Option "TapButton3" "3"
to the InputDevice section for synaptics.
