I have a HP Compaq Tc4400 with 2,5gb RAM with Intel Core Duo T5600 / 1.83 GHz. and I have Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and I can't scroll down with the trackpad. There is a site allowed in the trackpad in the right for scroll down in pages that works in Windows but in Ubuntu when I try it the mouse moves down.

ls -l /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d http://pastebin.com/UWeV9dnm

How can I fix it??

Thanks in advance.

  • What kind of trackpad is it? Can you post the output of xinput list? Aug 15, 2016 at 1:32

Try

synclient VertEdgeScroll=1

and see if that allows you to scroll by using the right edge of the trackpad.

If it does you can make the change permanent by making the file /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/60-synaptics-options.conf with your favorite editor. For example, with gedit:

sudo gedit /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/60-synaptics-options.conf

Then putting the following in the file

Section "InputClass"
  Identifier "touchpad catchall"
  Driver "synaptics"
  MatchIsTouchpad "on"
  MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"

  Option "VertEdgeScroll" "1"

EndSection

  • The permanent method doesn't work. I do it as you said and I restarted Ubuntu and it doesn't work. Thank Aug 17, 2016 at 19:01
  • @antonio8909 Does the temporary method work properly? Aug 18, 2016 at 0:29
  • Yes, it works perfectly Aug 18, 2016 at 11:20
  • Can you post the output of ls -l /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d on your original question? Aug 18, 2016 at 15:39
  • Done @fakedad I posted it in pastebin. (Link in the first post) Aug 19, 2016 at 18:38
