I think a workaround is to use xinput. xinput # Note down your touchpad device id xinput set-prop device_id SynapticsEdgeScrolling 1 1 1 # the default is 0 0 0
Read more about it here... http://www.x.org/archive/X11R7.5/doc/man/man4/synaptics.4.html So maybe we need to add a GUI component to the control centre to toggle this. And while we are at it, we should try to integrate as many settings from the synaptic drivers as possible. A lot of people are put off by being unable to configure their trackpads. PS: I am new here. Actually my first comment and appearance here. (I just made an exclusively for this issue) I was hoping if someone would be kind enough to tell me the file which may need to be modified for the fix. I would like to get my hands dirty and this seems like something easy. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1315705 Title: [Acer Aspire 5750-9668] touchpad doesn't scroll with one finger on extreme right in GNOME Flashback (Metacity) Status in GNOME Panel: New Status in gnome-panel package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: 1) lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Release: 14.04 2) apt-cache policy gnome-session-flashback gnome-session-flashback: Installed: 1:3.8.0-1ubuntu11 Candidate: 1:3.8.0-1ubuntu11 Version table: 1:3.8.0-1ubuntu12 0 400 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-proposed/universe amd64 Packages *** 1:3.8.0-1ubuntu11 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0007 Version=01b1 N: Name="SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" P: Phys=isa0060/serio1/input0 S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input9 U: Uniq= H: Handlers=mouse0 event12 B: PROP=9 B: EV=b B: KEY=6420 30000 0 0 0 0 B: ABS=260800011000003 3) What is expected to happen is when one logs into the GNOME Session Flashback (Metacity) touchpad scrolling with one finger on the extreme right works by default, or if not, it's configurable via GUI. 4) What happens instead is it is not. WORKAROUND: Two finger scrolling works. WORKAROUND: If one logs out, and logs into either xfce or Xubuntu, one finger scrolling works. Hence, this would appear to be an issue with GNOME Session Flashback (Metacity) versus HW or other problem.
