[Bug 1039261] Re: Version Error loading touchpad kcm: Xinput extension is too old

[Scott Kitterman]

** Description changed:

+ [IMPACT]
+ 
+  * Bug renders the touchpad configuration KCM completely unusable
+ 
+ [TESTCASE]
+ 
+  * Open (KDE) systemsettings
+  * Go to Input Devices
+  * Click on Touchpad
+ 
+  * With the existing package an error about the version of xinput being
+ too old will be displayed
+ 
+  * With the fixed package, the touchpad KCM should be displayed
+ 
+ 
+ [Regression Potential] 
+ 
+  * Nil.  It's totally not working now, so the downside risk is zero.
+ 
+ [Original Bug}
+ 
  After an update and reboot, found that my touchpad was not working
  corrrectly - scrolling wasn't working unless I used a scrollbar.
  
  Opening System Settings to get to the Synaptiks touchpad control (kde-
  config-touchpad) brings up the following error:
  
  "The version of the XInput extension installed on your system is too old. Version 2.0 was found, but at least version 2.0 is required.
  If you want to be able to configure your touchpad, you have to upgrade your system to a recent release of the Xorg display server. This may likely involve a complete upgrade of your system. Please excuse this inconvenience, but there is no way to make touchpad configuration work on systems as old as yours."
  
  Xinput is at version 1.6, however the error is saying the version 2.0
  was found.
