[Bug 591656] Re: scrolling issues using touchpad

 

hnrkg, one thing that I think may help the developers to identify the
problem is if you could use the program xev to capture the input events
that the xserver receives.

For #1, you can run `xev -geometry 900x100-0+120 > ~/xev.txt`. That will
give you a 900 px wide and 100 pixel high window at the right hand side
of the screen and events are captured as long as the mouse pointer is
inside the window. Drag the mouse pointer right inside the window and
make it jump all the way to the right, still within the window, by
touching the scroll area. Close the window with Alt+F4 (in order to not
generate more mouse pointer moving events). Take care to not drag the
mouse pointer over the window any more than necessary during this, since
it will create noise in the log. Upload xev.txt here.

I don't quite understand #2, but you could probably do something
similar.  I would anyway recommend focusing on #1 here, since having
more than one issue in one bug report is strongly discouraged.
