These instructions assume that you are using up-to-date Lucid with a Synaptic touch pad:
1. First make sure that you have a Synaptics touch pad. Execute the command: xinput list|grep Synaptics You should see this (or something similar): ⎜ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=11 [slave pointer (2)] 2. Then execute the following command (all on one line) to temporarily enable two-finger scrolling via multitouch emulation: synclient TapButton2=3 HorizTwoFingerScroll=1 VertTwoFingerScroll=1 EmulateTwoFingerMinZ=29 EmulateTwoFingerMinW=5 JumpyCursorThreshold=200 If the above command produces an error, you don't have a compatible touchpad. If it doesn't produce an error, but two-finger scroll doesn't work either, try adjusting the value of EmulateTwoFingerMinW and EmulateTwoFingerMinZ in the above command and executing it again. A smaller value in EmulateTwoFingerMinW will accept a narrower touch to activate scrolling. 3. To make changes permanent, follow the instructions in the attached file. ** Attachment added: "11-twofinger.conf" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/51739472/11-twofinger.conf -- two finger scroll/multitouch not working on lenovo thinkpad w510 having SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad.. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/554980 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
