How to enable two finger scrolling in Ubuntu gnome 14.04 . The feature is seen enabled in dconf Editor, but it is not working. Also there is no option for scrolling in the mouse and touchpad settings.

When the command xinput; dmesg | grep pnp is typed in the terminal the following output is obtained.(I am copying the terminal output as I cant upload the screenshot image)

karthik@LenovoU41:~$ xinput; dmesg | grep pnp

  • It looks like your touchpad is not supported by kernel yet. You can upgrade your kernel to get new drivers by sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-vivid and reboot.
