Hello, how are you friends?
Use ArchLinux (that many know hehe), it happens that the touchpad of my laptop (Synaptics touchpad) works normal, that is, I pass my finger over the area and the pointer moves, but it does not scroll vertically, not even when I press with a finger on the area is clickable or anything similar.
The fact is that I had to manually configure the touchpad, and here are the steps 😉
1. Open a terminal.
2. In it write the following:
sudo kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf
It will ask for your password, they write it and press [enter]
3. In the document or text file that will be opened, they must paste this what I left them HERE.
4. Once it is stuck there, they save it and close it.
5. Ready, reboot and you should have the touchpad fully working 😀
If you want to make any changes, questions, questions or whatever, let me know.
regards

good dica, I'm going to write in my notebook!
vlwfwi, Holmes
It's very good, I'll try it. Thank you.
This is to activate the multitouch of the pad? I have multitouch activated to scroll, but not zoom. I am also an ArchLinux user, I am very satisfied with this distribution after breaking 2 ubuntus and 1 debian haha 🙂
Regards!
My touchpad does not have multitouch support, that is, this configuration that I put allows you to scroll in two ways:
- Swiping your finger over the section or area of the touchpad intended for scrolling (right part that has little lines ...)
- If you put 1 finger instead, put 2 fingers anywhere on the touchpad and slide them down and up, you will see how it scrolls.
Is this what you mean?
regards
Exactly, scrolling with 2 fingers seems to me to be multitouch. I have activated the scroll with 2 fingers and the one on the right of the touchpad, but I also have the possibility of zooming with 2 fingers in the iphone style (tested in win7), but in linux I could not make it work yet. Now I'm on a pc to repair, but then I give you my 10-synaptics.conf, which is a little shorter than yours.
Cheers! 😉
I understand you, the scroll you mention is the circular scroll, right? In the conf I put there are the lines for this scroll, you just have to uncomment them, restart and tell me if it works for you.
HAHAHA yes ... mine is quite extensive HAHAHA ... I tried to cover it all HAHAHA
Great, I did not know the circular scroll, now I activate it and I'll tell you 🙂
My 10-synaptics.conf has just the following:
Section "InputClass"Identifier "touchpad catchall"
Driver "synaptics"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Option "VertEdgeScroll" "True"
Option "TabButton" "0"
Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "TapButton2" "2"
Option "TapButton3" "3"
EndSection
And with that I have the scroll on the right side and the tapping (I think it's called like that) to click.
The scroll with 2 fingers I have it activated from the xfce configuration.
Regards!
😀
Good luck, I am not an expert far from it but any doubt here I am 🙂
The circular scroll does not work for me, I had to uncomment the line that says
Option "CircularPad" "0"And I just see that you have disabled horizontal scrolling with 2 fingers, does it work one at a time or can both be enabled together?
Cheers! 😉
Ah, well yeah hehe… 0 = deactivated 😀
The horizontal scrolling with two fingers does not work for me, but it may be because my touchpad does not allow it ... no idea, I put those lines anticipating that it will work for someone 😉
Hello, can you help me to solve my touchpad in kali linux, the left click does not work for me and I can only do it with the right click to select.
I stay tuned, thank you.
Pity! In my case nothing changed ...: S
We will keep trying xD
WTF… amazing, I have tested it on more than one laptop and it has worked 🙁
My apologies friend ..
Hache, I'm starting with Arch, and at first the same thing happened to me, I went to the wiki and it told me that I should install xf86-input-synaptics, after that I put what appears in the paste shared by @ KZKG ^ Gaara <"Linux and everything perfect.
Regards!
Thank you
A pleasure to know that it worked out for you 🙂
Greetings and welcome to the blog 😉
A question I want to know if you can activate the zoom in any way when making pilliscos on the touchpad?
pilliscos? Sorry, I didn't understand you 🙁
One question the configuration worked well for me on my debian to a point since I can't make the scrolling in some browser go up and down. I don't know what it's called technically. would you have any idea how to solve it?
greetings and very good blog
This is because the configuration if I remember correctly I set it so that the scroll or vertical movement (from top to bottom and the opposite) was with 2 fingers. Put 2 fingers on the touchpad and move them both up and down at the same time, tell me if it works for you.
regards
you are correct it works with 2 fingers, do you remember how to modify it to be with one finger?
thanks and regards
On line 57 where it says: Option «VertTwoFingerScroll» «1»
Change that 1 to a 0 and you should already deactivate the 2 fingers.
I modified it like you told me but it doesn't work
Did you restart the computer?
xDDD
if i restart the computer clear
it's weird because on the same pc I have a manjaro too and with this same configuration and the touchpad works the most well
It's excellent!
It worked perfect for me on a Debian Wheezy, thank you very much.
Regards!
Hello, how are you, friend, could you upload the code again if it is not too much trouble. thanks for all the contribution you give
Hello, could someone give me the configuration that the link is no longer present, please thank you.
If it detects me. But I have a little problem. The ENTER key doesn't work for me. how can I do?
Use:
Linux Mint Olivia (15) loaded from usb.
HP nx6110 laptop.
I use this command:
and he served me my touch pad 😀
sudo modprobe -r psmouse && sudo modprobe psmouse proto = imps
I tested it on an Acer Aspire One D257
The file is no longer available.
Good! It works very well. Thanks for the info =)
It hasn't worked for me. I still can't scroll in Kubuntu 14.04 (where by the way, the file in question is /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf, or at least I haven't found another one).
Also, when I open KDE Systemsettings> Input Devices> Touchpad, I get a message saying "Synaptics driver is not installed (or not used)", even though I have the " xserver-xorg-input-synaptics ». I don't know what to do anymore, the truth is, the touchpad works for me but the scroll doesn't (in Windows it is done with two fingers on this computer), and that the KDE touchpad configuration module skips me with that message makes me suspect that to do with it, but I have no idea how to fix it. Any ideas around here?
hi, i'm new to linux, i find it very complicated, however i want to learn.
help please, I have a HP folio 13 lap, it has a synaptics touchpad, but it works kind of silly »that is to say, it is not very precise when it comes to putting my finger through it, which does not happen in windows, I would like to know if it is due to the drivers, and if so, how do I install drivers for this mouse in linux mint cinnamon, thanks
Hello, I would like to know how to activate the vertical scroll for Ubuntu 12.04 lts «it happens that the touchpad of my laptop (Synaptics touchpad) works normal, that is, I pass my finger over the area and the pointer moves, but it does not scroll vertically, not even when I press a finger on the area does it click or anything similar »exactly the same thing happens to me. I would like to know if you could help me, thank you.
On an HP Pavilion 250 Laptop Computer - G4 TPN-C125 - Debian 8 64bits use what Ivan Molina indicated.
sudo modprobe -r psmouse && sudo modprobe psmouse proto = imps
Thank you very much for all the contribution !!!!
PS: The access link to the code no longer works, it would be ideal to upload it again 😉
Hello, you can upload the file again because it does not work and I have problems with my touchpad thanks
your link that says "here" is damaged, I need this info, if you could update it, I would appreciate it very much, thank you very much in advance
