Inverted synaptics touchpad

[optilude]

Got the synaptics drivers from the stock 2.6.0-test7 kernel and the X driver from the 4.3.0-r3 ebuild and configured X according to the HOWTO thread in another forum. It works, but up is down and down is up! That is, if I slide my finger up on the pad, the cursor moves down. The same is true for the scrolling (which otherwise works). Left/right are unaffected. What's wrong?

I'm having the same problem on my Gericom Webgine Notebook. The Synaptics Touchpad ist succesfully detected when system boots. Running X with the driver, that's installed with the ebuild 4.3.0-r3 leads to the mouse being inverted on the vertical axis.

I've got it running! All I did is download the newest version of the synaptics driver for X. it's version 11.8.

Its available at http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340/touchpad/index.html#Download.

I edited XF86Config according to the explanations from the included INSTALL file.
