Hi, just playing around and accidentally delete my ~/.config ~/.gnome and ~/.gnome2. All my settings are reset and my touchpad no longer be able to vertical edge scrolling . Googling with a little light pointing me to do $ man synaptics. The manual page was like hieroglyph but re-read over and over again earned me some of knowledge to set some of the synaptics properties. So here is my ~/.profile , i added 2 lines of the properties at the end of the file xinput --set-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Synaptics Edge Scrolling" 1 1 0 As the manual says: Synaptics Edge Scrolling 8 bit (BOOL), 3 values, vertical, horizontal, corner where the "1 1 0" meaning Vertical "on", Horizontal "on", Corner "off". Happy scrolling ^^
