Dmitry,

After more testing, some users found that they no longer could use the
vertical edge scroll of their touchpad. I assumed everything was
working correctly because I had read a response to another user on
this list that if you add a new ID, things work, and you don't see any
protocol error messages in dmesg, then things should be correct. The
testers reported no errors, so I assumed the problem was in the X
synaptics driver. However, after receiving some event reports from a
tester, it may be that the normal ps2 driver is still sending events,
while the alps/synaptics kernel driver is not sending any. Do you have
any insight on what might be going on?

Thanks
