synclient -l | awk '/=/{printf "Option \"%s\" \"%s\"\n",$1,$3}'
synclient PalmDetect=1
OR
synclient SHMConfig=1
syndaemon -t -k -i 2 -d
synclient VertTwoFingerScroll=1
synclient HorizTwoFingerScroll=1
All those commands should go in your terminal. One at a time.
Note: Changes are temporary.
To make it permanent, you should edit "50-synaptics.conf" file located in
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/
sample :
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad catchall"
Driver "synaptics"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
# This option is recommend on all Linux systems using evdev, but cannot be
# enabled by default. See the following link for details:
# http://who-t.blogspot.com/2010/11/how-to-ignore-configuration-errors.html
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Options "VertTwoFingerScroll" "1"
Options "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "1"
EndSection
