Side Scroll feature in Mouse Pad

#1 Post by Azrial »

Does anyone know how to make this stupid thing behave as a simple mouse pad, instead of one with a instead of a side scroll that does not work correctly? Thanks!

On my CF-54 I just go to control panel then go to Mouse.

From there I go to the last tab that says "Device Settings" (It has a synaptic logo)

From there I click on Settings.

A window pops up and says "Properties for Synaptics TouchPad V1.1 on SMB Port".

From there there is a + next to a category that says "Scrolling"

From there I look for "One-Finger Scrolling" and uncheck "Enable vertical scrolling" and "Enable horizontal scrolling"

Hope this helps?

Thanks!

Thanks Rob, but I would guess (I have never seen it installed on a PC...) that what you are showing me is Win10. My problem is in Ubuntu Linux. The mouse, including side scroll works great in the test found in Settings. But in actual use, it is very erratic.

Thanks for trying!

Hi Azrial,

Ubuntu should offer a GUI for that, located at a clickpath similar to:
System > Preferences > Mouse -> Touchpad -> horizontal scrolling

A more generic way to achieve this, would be to edit Xorg.conf or use "xinput set-prop" command:
VertEdgeScroll 0
HorizEdgeScroll 0

You could also try these two, if the above ones don't work
HorizScrollDelta 0
VertScrollDelta 0

more informationen @ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad
