Fedora 10 - Two Finger Scroll?

Hi Everyone,

I've been trying to get the two finger scroll working on my new A110 and haven't had any luck. Perhaps it's not possible? Below is my xorg.conf's input device section. I've tried a few different variations and still have came up empty handed. Has anyone else gotten this to work? Coming from a Macbook this is the one feature I'm missing the most.

Thanks

Code:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Mouse0"
        Driver          "synaptics"
        Option          "SendCoreEvents"        "true"
        Option          "Protocol"              "auto-dev"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/input/mice"
        Option          "MaxTapTime"            "120"
        Option          "MaxTapMove"            "150"
        Option          "VertTwoFingerScroll"   "true"
        Option          "HorizTwoFingerScroll"  "true"
        Option          "VertEdgeScroll"        "false"
        Option          "HorizEdgeScroll"       "false"
        Option          "TapButton1"            "1"
        Option          "TapButton2"            "3"
        Option          "TapButton3"            "2"
        Option          "Emulate3Buttons"       "true"
        Option          "SHMConfig"             "true"
EndSection

 

first set up gsynaptics the preferred way for F10

then when you have followed all those steps do

Code:

synclient VertTwoFingerScroll=1 ; synclient HorizTwoFingerScroll=1 

then

Code:

synclient -l

too see if your changes have taken

 

I've also been trying to activate the two fingerscoll a few days ago, but didn't get it working. I also tried this method, only then via HAL and now with command line, but neither methods seemed to work for me.

 

Thanks HappyHarry. However, I still cannot get it to work either. I tried it with and without the xorg.conf file. When I run synclient -l I do see that two finger scrolling is active, but no such luck. This may be a dumb question, but does gsynaptics only work in Gnome? I'm running XFCE.

Oh well, I'll keep plugging away.

 

Well, as it turns out the HAL way described does work. I just found that it seems to be really flaky. Maybe once out of every 10 tries does it recognize my two finger scroll attempt. However, circular scrolling does work quite well and I think I'm just going to leave that enabled.

Thanks for the help.

 

no probs, gsynaptics works in xfce too as that's what i'm using, you could try turning off HorizEdgeScroll and VertEdgeScroll by using

Code:

synclient HorizEdgeScroll 0 ; VertEdgeScroll 0

and see if that makes a difference to the two finger scrolling?
