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

[Ondrej Holy <oholy redhat com>]

Hi Diego,

yes, libinput is under heavy development now. Your patches are welcome if you found working solution. But 
"Evdev Scrolling Distance" was added recently and needs to be tested. We have to be sure this will be working 
together with smooth scrolling etc. Please discuss it with Petter Hutterer. 

Regards

Ondrej
