There is also a "nicer" xorg.conf
based way to make the inverted <V_DISTANCE>
and <H_DISTANCE>
settings (determined according to @Eliran's answer) permanent:
Create a directory /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
, and in it a file like 51-synaptics-tweaks.conf
, containing:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "on"
Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "on"
# In the following lines, use your own negative V_DISTANCE / H_DISTANCE values.
Option "VertScrollDelta" "-113"
Option "HorizScrollDelta" "-113"
EndSection
This follows Ubuntu's recommendations in the /usr/share/xorg.conf.d/*
example files and also Archlinux instructions. To see the effect, restart X of course :)
