[Gnome] [fresh install] no 2 finger vertical scroll

p04ty · n00b Joined: 09 Apr 2011 Posts: 55

After fresh install of Gnome it ignores some of my xorg.conf touchpad setting honoured by other DEs: KDE4 and Xfce4.
The option VertTwoFingerScroll is set to 1 but after restarting Gnome it works only after invoking:
synclient VertTwoFingerScroll=1.
Here is my xorg.conf.

I've been told that I have to copy some files to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d and edit them, but none works:
10-evdev.conf and 50-synaptics.conf

I've tried gnome-extra/gpointing-device-settings but it settings are ignored too.

Any tips please?

You could try something even simpler than that: put VertTwoFingerScroll=1 in your .bashrc.

I'd like to understand why Gnome enforces some settings that another DEs respect.

Most likely it was the decision of the Gnome programmers to do things that way.

That explanation is not a way to solve a problem.

I don't know if it could help, but with fluxbox I've got this 10-synaptics.conf :

Unfortunately your setup doesn't work.

For gnome, there should be an system setting module for glidepads and pointers. At least, I have it on my notebook. And there you can activate all tose settings.
