Finally I find the solution. I red the Arch Wiki here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Touchpad_Synaptics I changed the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf file so: Section "InputClass" Identifier "touchpad catchall" Driver "synaptics" MatchIsTouchpad "on" Option "TapButton1" "1" Option "TapButton2" "-1" Option "TapButton3" "3" Option "VertEdgeScroll" "on" Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "on" # This option is recommend on all Linux systems using evdev, but cannot be # enabled by default. See the following link for details: # http://who-t.blogspot.com/2010/11/how-to-ignore-configuration-errors.html MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" EndSection However, I found to to one can scroll with two finger by using touchpad with the default settings. -- Regards from Pal -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].

Today it doesn't work anymore. When I try to run gpointing-device-settings I get error mesage: An X error occurred. The error was BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter). So, I must to search other solution, as You advice me. Here, on Arch Linux I can find extra/xf86-input-synaptics 1.7.2-1 (xorg-drivers xorg) [installed] So, I have /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf file, with the content: # Additional options may be added in the form of # Option "OptionName" "value" # Section "InputClass" Identifier "touchpad catchall" Driver "synaptics" MatchIsTouchpad "on" Option "TapButton1" "1" Option "TapButton2" "2" Option "TapButton3" "3" # This option is recommend on all Linux systems using evdev, but cannot be # enabled by default.

I installed the gpointing-device-settings package and b running it, I can setup the touchpad so I can use it's scroll capabilitiy ( the right edge ) in WindowMwker too. :) -- Regards from Pal -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].

There's an xorg driver called synaptic or some such that might help. This is what Debian throws up, might get you started: xserver-xorg-input-mtrack - Multitouch X input driver xserver-xorg-input-multitouch - Multitouch X input driver xserver-xorg-input-synaptics - Synaptics TouchPad driver for X.Org server Dick -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].
