after being away from ubuntu for a while and being used to an inverted touchpad scrolling, I have recently jumped on ubuntu 13.04 bandwagon again. I have being having a hard time and am wondering if it is possible to invert?

What you want is called "natural scrolling".

From 14.04 on you can toggle that behavior from System Settings/Mouse-Touchpad

For earlier versions there is no immediate GUI tool but you can achieve it with dconf-editor Install dconf-editor.

From the dash open dconf-editor, on the left side select `org/gnome/settings-daemon/peripherals/touchpad screenshot

There you check natural-scroll

  • Since I was searching for the same thing, I just wanted to comment and say this is now (from 14.04) possible in the 'System Settings -> Mouse/Touchpad' GUI.
