evemu recording of several attempts at scrolling
I have to add that scrolling with multiple fingers works fine if I use the Elantech touchpad driver instead of libinput. I'm using x.org and not Wayland, obviously. What I mean by "the Elantech driver" is actually the Synaptics input driver. Installing the "xs86-input-synaptics" package and using the following x.org configuration makes multi-finger-scrolling work: ------------------------------------------------------------ Section "InputClass" Identifier "touchpad" Driver "synaptics" MatchIsTouchpad "on" EndSection ------------------------------------------------------------ For comparison purposes I'll attach Xorg.0.log of multi-finger-scrolling-working-with-Synaptics.

(In reply to Moritz Bunkus from comment #0) > * Physical dimensions are 100x66mm filed https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/5872 As for the scroll, I get axis events from this recording but I also notice that there's a fair bit of 3-finger interaction here. Did you intend for that? I recommend running sudo libinput-debug-events to check if the issue could be elsewhere, if it prints axis events, then scrolling works. Thanks for looking into it & for filing the update to the hwdb. > As for the scroll, I get axis events from this recording but I also notice that there's a fair bit of 3-finger interaction here. Did you intend for that? That three-finger action was intentional. As the two-finger action didn't produce any visible scrolling (I was trying this on top of a Google Chrome window with ~3 pages of content, so there should have been scrolling by Chrome) I decided to give three-fingers a try, too, so that you'd have more data to potentially spot problems. > I recommend running sudo libinput-debug-events to check if the issue could be elsewhere, if it prints axis events, then scrolling works. Running `sudo libinput-debug-events` only shows POINTER_MOTION events, and only for one-finger movement. Whenever I try to use two fingers for scrolling, no events are reported at all, not even POINTER_MOTION events. Same for three fingers. Interestingly moving a single finger on the right side up & down doesn't produce POINTER_MOTION events either — nothing, just like the two-finger scroll attempt. Anything else I can try? Any other information I can provide? (In reply to Moritz Bunkus from comment #8) > Running `sudo libinput-debug-events` only shows POINTER_MOTION events, and > only for one-finger movement.

Created attachment 131134 [details] "udevadm info" output * libinput 1.7.1 on Arch Linux * Laptop is an Asus UX301L * Physical dimensions are 100x66mm Problem: scrolling with two or three fingers is not working at all. Not one tiny bit. No matter how many fingers I use, no matter where I try to scroll. It just doesn't work.
