I can't make my touchpad scrolling to work at all :/ I googled it, found some similar questions and some solutions, but none of them works for me :/

Any ideas? It's really annoying problem.

My OS is ubuntu 10.04, there is installed synaptics driver.. I tried to reinstall it, but it's the same. I also installed gsynaptics - the same. 

xxx@xxx:~$ sudo cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "Default Screen"
        DefaultDepth    24
        SubSection "Display"
                Virtual 2646 1024
        EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Module"
        Load    "glx"
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Default Device"
        Driver  "fglrx"
EndSection

I tried editing this file by adding configuration for mouse input device, but not successful :/

Multi-touch is not working, too, but it's not a big deal

Thanks

Why is there a 10.04 tag if you use 9.04? Which is correct? – Marius Gedminas Dec 13 '10 at 15:21
doh! changed the version, it really is 10.04, typo – Kiril Kirov Dec 13 '10 at 18:39

@MarcoCeppi - my reaction about this closing - "LOL". For the down-vote - ".". Nevermind. – Kiril Kirov Nov 22 '11 at 20:10

Does the Mouse configuration dialog have a "Touchpad" tab? If not, your touchpad is not supported or not recognized by the synaptics driver, in which case the touchpad emulates a mouse in hardware (and in most cases has limited functionality).

Also see this question.

Yep, there's such tab. Also, the option for scrolling is checked – Kiril Kirov Dec 13 '10 at 14:12
