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 wmaker-user-unsubscr...@lists.windowmaker.org.
