Haha, yeah it is confusing sounding. Perhaps one touch scrolling means you can scroll by using a single finger on the right side of the pad? A lot of trackpads work that way, or can be configured to work that way. > Is there anything I have to configure (xorg.conf?) additionally? I remember there being some kind of "z axis" setting, or something perhaps a little along those lines in xorg.conf. To be honest, it's been years since I last did anything with an xorg.conf since the modern Xorg is much better at automatically configuring itself, so I'm afraid I can't help you much in that department. One way that might be easy but depends on your desktop environment, is to check if there is an easy to use setting provided by your DE that can configure two finger scrolling. For example, I'm currently using Gnome 3.6 in Fedora (yeah, not Gentoo, but I'm on my work computer :) ) and I have a "Two finger scroll" checkbox in the "Mouse & Touchpad" section of the System Settings program. There's also a checkbox for "Tap to click". I use Gnome 2 stable on my home Gentoo computer, and I *think* it may have something similar, but I'm not there to verify (and it's a desktop computer with no trackpad so I've never used that feature there.) I used to use KDE in Gentoo at my previous job, and I believe it had something similar in its settings but I don't have any current KDE installs to check it with. If you aren't using either of those, perhaps your DE provides something like that too. If not, perhaps someone else on here will chime in :) > Thank you very much for any help in advance! No problem, and apologies that it's not super complete. I'm more of a backend kind of dude, so my familiarity with DE stuff is mostly from a user's perspective (i.e., GUI configuration). -- Randy Barlow
