[Bug 550625] Re: Alps touchpad is recognized but synaptics clients and scrolling do not work

 

Some interesting fact about the driver performance when additional
monitors are added:

(system: Dell Latitude E6520, ubuntu 11.04, stick and touchpad):

When I changed the screen resolution from 1920x1080 to one big screen of
two monitors (1920x1080 as laptop screen and connected through Matrox
Dual box two monitors of 1920x1200 each) of resolution   5940x1200
(with some "dead area" since my laptop screen only 1080)  I found that
touchpad cursor started to move much faster in horizontal direction
only.

It means that apparently the driver somehow adjusted the horizontal
speed according to the new size of the screen. The external USB mouse
does not do that.

This "scaling" of the horizontal speed does not seems to be a problem
for me, I think it is quite nice.

Please let me know if you need any further info about my system if you
think it is useful.

Many thanks!
