Sorry for the delay. I performed a fresh install of 20191014 last night, then updated it this AM so we'd be working with an out-of-box experience. After the update and a reboot I opened System Settings > Devices > Mouse & Touchpad and changed Natural Scrolling and Tap-to- click to off while also changing Edge Scrolling to ON.
Opening Test Your Settings indicates that the changes were applied correctly but immediately after closing System Settings the Edge Scrolling setting reverts to off. That can be verified both by the touchpad behavior and reopening the Mouse & Touchpad settings UI. The other settings changes "stick" as they should. lance@lance-e6400:~$ journalctl -b 0 -- Logs begin at Mon 2019-10-14 22:46:09 CDT, end at Tue 2019-10-15 15:42:44 CDT Oct 15 15:33:49 lance-e6400 kernel: microcode: microcode updated early to revisi Oct 15 15:33:49 lance-e6400 kernel: Linux version 5.3.0-18-generic (buildd@lcy01 Oct 15 15:33:49 lance-e6400 kernel: Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-5.3.0 Oct 15 15:33:49 lance-e6400 kernel: KERNEL supported cpus: Oct 15 15:33:49 lance-e6400 kernel: Intel GenuineIntel Oct 15 15:33:49 lance-e6400 kernel: AMD AuthenticAMD Oct 15 15:33:49 lance-e6400 kernel: Hygon HygonGenuine Oct 15 15:33:49 lance-e6400 kernel: Centaur CentaurHauls Oct 15 15:33:49 lance-e6400 kernel: zhaoxin Shanghai Oct 15 15:33:49 lance-e6400 kernel: x86/fpu: Supporting XSAVE feature 0x001: 'x8 Oct 15 15:33:49 lance-e6400 kernel: x86/fpu: Supporting XSAVE feature 0x002: 'SS Oct 15 15:33:49 lance-e6400 kernel: x86/fpu: Enabled xstate features 0x3, contex Oct 15 15:33:49 lance-e6400 kernel: BIOS-provided physical RAM map: Oct 15 15:33:49 lance-e6400 kernel: BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x0000000 Oct 15 15:33:49 lance-e6400 kernel: BIOS-e820: [mem 0x000000000009f000-0x0000000 Oct 15 15:33:49 lance-e6400 kernel: BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000100000-0x0000000 Oct 15 15:33:49 lance-e6400 kernel: BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000dd04d400-0x0000000 Oct 15 15:33:49 lance-e6400 kernel: BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000dd04f400-0x0000000 Oct 15 15:33:49 lance-e6400 kernel: BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000f8000000-0x0000000 Oct 15 15:33:49 lance-e6400 kernel: BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000fec00000-0x0000000 Oct 15 15:33:49 lance-e6400 kernel: BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000fed18000-0x0000000 Oct 15 15:33:49 lance-e6400 kernel: BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000fed20000-0x0000000 For the rest of this I attached a Logitech M317 mouse.

Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1845898 Title: Unable to set touchpad Edge Scrolling in Eoan Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: After installing the Eoan Beta on a Dell Latitude E6400 attempting to set touchpad Edge Scrolling was unsuccessful. It actually seemed to work as long as the System Settings window was left open but as soon as the window is closed the Edge Scrolling setting reverts to off. I did however find that simply installing the package 'xserver-xorg- input-synaptics' solves the problem. In fact it adds the additional setting option of Two Finger Scrolling to the control center UI. I'm not sure if that package should be installed by default or not? Steps to reproduce are simple: (1) Install Ubuntu Eoan on a laptop (could possibly work with a keyboard with an incorporated touchpad). (2) Open Gnome Control Center (System Settings) and go to Devices > Mouse & Touchpad. (3) Select Edge Scrolling and you'll notice the "button" turn green. Close System Settings. (4) Reopen System Settings and you'll see Edge Scrolling has turned off again. (5) Install 'xserver-xorg-input-synaptics' and then reboot. (6) Repeat the above steps and you'll find that setting Edge Scrolling is successful even after closing System Settings. Additionally you'll find that a new Two Finger Scrolling option has been added to the UI.
