[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 968536] Re: Natural Scrolling broken with software-center in 12.04
Old bug, but at least in 13.04, the xinput --set-prop method does work for GTK3 apps including Nautilus and the Software Center (although the application may need to be restarted after running the command, which is not a problem if the configuration is set via startup script.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/968536 Title: Natural Scrolling broken with software-center in 12.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/968536/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 968536] Re: Natural Scrolling broken with software-center in 12.04
It seems that fix is _only_ for trackpads. @Luke ... xinput list-props will give you something like this: Code: Device 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad': Device Enabled (133): 1 ... Synaptics Two-Finger Pressure (269): 282 Synaptics Two-Finger Width (270): 7 Synaptics Scrolling Distance (271): 112, 112 Synaptics Edge Scrolling (272): 0, 0, 0 Synaptics Two-Finger Scrolling (273): 1, 1 ... The interesting bit being the scrolling distance; replace that with a negative value (with xinput set-int-prop), and you get inverted scrolling. http://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?f=16p=22816149 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/968536 Title: Natural Scrolling broken with software-center in 12.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/968536/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

@chascone thanks for the tip but that doesn't work. $ xinput list-props 11 | grep Scrolling Distance Synaptics Scrolling Distance (262): -222, -222 $ xinput --set-prop 11 262 -222 -222 (set-int-prop is deprecated) This successfully reverses the direction of scrolling for things like Google Chrome but not for the GTK3 apps listed above (Software Center, Settings controls, etc). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/968536 Title: Natural Scrolling broken with software-center in 12.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/968536/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

That makes a lot of sense. Can you be more specific about how to use xinput to configure natural scrolling?

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 968536] Re: Natural Scrolling broken with software-center in 12.04
You've run into GTK3's support for smooth-scrolling, which does not rely on mapping buttons 4/5 as “mouse wheel” buttons. What's happening after you remapped the buttons is GTK3 is receiving a “scroll down by 12.4 increments” message, and *also* receiving a “the scroll-up button was pressed” message. In order to reverse the scroll order you additionally need to reverse the scroll axis; you can do this with the “xinput” tool by providing a negative value for the scroll distance. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/968536 Title: Natural Scrolling broken with software-center in 12.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/968536/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
