Two fingers

Asked by Marcos José Setim

Hello,

I've installed Ubuntu 10.04 and two fingers scroll is disabled at mouse configuration tool. That would work at Inspiron 1525 Dell?

Thanks

Try synclient, open the Gedit application:

Applications > Accessories > gedit

and paste the lines of texts inside the opened window of the text editor,

synclient VertTwoFingerScroll=1
synclient HorizTwoFingerScroll=1
synclient EmulateTwoFingerMinW=5
synclient EmulateTwoFingerMinZ=48

Save the file to whatever filename you like, for now - we will save it as myscroll. Close gedit after saving. I assume that you saved it in your Desktop.

From the Terminal, make the file executable with:

chmod +x myscroll

then execute the file from the same Terminal with:

./myscroll

HTH.

Can you help with this problem?
