Hi friends,

sorry, an other issue:

How enable the touchpad horizontal scrolling?

I was looking for a solution at the forum but I could not find it, sorry...

I tried editing Synapntics (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) but X failed... (now solved editing with the live cd)

Can you help me to enable the touchpad horizontal scroll?

Thanks.

The preferred way of configuring the touchpad is to modify synaptics.conf under /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d. This is a relatively recent change in debian upstream.

My synaptics.conf looks like this. Horizontal scrolling workings on my HP dm4.

Code: Select all

Section"InputClass"
        Identifier     "Touchpad"                      # required
        MatchIsTouchpad"yes"                           # required
        Driver         "synaptics"                     # required
        Option         "MinSpeed"             "0.5"
        Option         "MaxSpeed"             "1.0"
        Option         "AccelFactor"          "0.075"
        Option         "TapButton1"           "1"
        Option         "TapButton2"           "2"     # multitouch
        Option         "TapButton3"           "3"     # multitouch
        Option         "VertTwoFingerScroll"  "1"     # multitouch
        Option         "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "1"     # multitouch
        Option         "VertEdgeScroll"       "1"
        Option         "CoastingSpeed"        "8"
        Option         "CornerCoasting"       "1"
        Option         "CircularScrolling"    "1"
        Option         "CircScrollTrigger"    "7"
        Option         "EdgeMotionUseAlways"  "1"
        Option         "LBCornerButton"       "8"     # browser"back" btn
        Option         "RBCornerButton"       "9"     # browser"forward" btn
EndSection

The"HorizTwoFingerScroll" was enable out of the box but I didn't know it...

BTW I prefer the"HorizEdgeScroll", I aded

Code: Select all

Option"HorizEdgeScroll""1"
and now is working perfect __{{emoticon}}__ maybe I did something wrong before, I don't know...

Solved!

Thanks!
