Description Pacho Ramos 2009-02-27 15:00:10 UTC 
Currently, users need to double click for being able to scroll vertically. In the past (with old 0.14.6 driver) this wasn't needed, and scroll could be done directly.

You can also see more people affected downstream:

The patch is taken from ubuntu and works fine for me on Gentoo

Thanks a lot !

"has_double" is on if the device reports multi-finger capability. This patch
enables vertical scrolling in addition to the already enabled two-finger
scrolling. not quite sure what it has to do with double-clicking...
