Touchpad scrollwheel problem in FC3


Hello

I can't get scrollwheel to work on touchpad! OS: FC3, Notebook: Fujitsu Siemens P7010

First, I tryed basic system settings, in system-config-mouse I choose syanptics. Scrollwheel didn't work. Then I corrected Xorg.conf:

----------------------------------------------
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "single head configuration"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "Synaptics" "AlwaysCore"
EndSection

Section "Module"
Load "dbe"
Load "extmod"
Load "fbdevhw"
Load "glx"
Load "record"
Load "freetype"
Load "type1"
Load "synaptics"
Load "dri"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "UpDownScrolling" "on"
Option "LeftEdge" "1700"
Option "RightEdge" "5300"
Option "TopEdge" "1700"
Option "BottomEdge" "4200"
Option "FingerLow" "25"
Option "FingerHigh" "30"
Option "MaxTapTime" "180"
Option "MaxTapMove" "220"
Option "VertScrollDelta" "100"
Option "MinSpeed" "0.09"
Option "MaxSpeed" "0.18"
Option "AccelFactor" "0.0015"
Option "SHMConfig" "on"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
# Option "Repeater" "/dev/ps2mouse"
EndSection
----------------------------------------------

I Also tryed to set different kernel parametres in grub.conf but still no luck. Touchpad works great, I also compiled Qsynaptics (ksynaptics) and was able to change sensitivity in GUI, but SCROLL still didn't work!
Compiling the latest synaptic_drv.o, but still no result.


I think, there are some tricks with fedora, maybe problem is in my kernel (2.6.9-1.681).

Need help!
Thanks

I got mine working in mdk10.1 but it was autoconfigured. Here's what the relevant portions of the config file looked like before and after I added the mouse:

Before:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "SynapticsMouse1"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "MaxSpeed" "0.12"
Option "MinSpeed" "0.06"
Option "BottomEdge" "4200"
Option "SHMConfig" "on"
Option "LeftEdge" "1700"
Option "FingerLow" "25"
Option "MaxTapTime" "180"
Option "MaxTapMove" "220"
Option "FingerHigh" "30"
Option "VertScrollDelta" "100"
Option "RightEdge" "5300"
Option "AccelFactor" "0.0010"
Option "TopEdge" "1700"
EndSection


After:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "SynapticsMouse1"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "MaxSpeed" "0.12"
Option "MinSpeed" "0.06"
Option "BottomEdge" "4200"
Option "SHMConfig" "on"
Option "LeftEdge" "1700"
Option "FingerLow" "25"
Option "MaxTapTime" "180"
Option "MaxTapMove" "220"
Option "FingerHigh" "30"
Option "VertScrollDelta" "100"
Option "TopEdge" "1700"
Option "RightEdge" "5300"
Option "AccelFactor" "0.0010"
EndSection


Note that in after there is a config section for the mouse I added(Mouse 1) and in the synaptics section the device is "/dev/input/mice" changed from "/dev/psaux". The server layout section did not change.
