RE: gnome-control-center - Adding natural scrolling support for mouse



Hi Ondrej,

Yes, I took a look at libinput sources and it seems it has yet to have anything related to mouse devices as only touchpads are supported right now.

My question is: are we going to wait for libinput mouse support and after that port current gnome-control-center to libinput or are you willing to accept patches to fix this right now (and port to libinput when it's ready)?

Thanks.
