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.
