I'm new on Linux and elementary OS.

Everything is near ok, except the touchpad. It is recognized by elementary OS, except the "scroll zone" on the right of the touchpad. Is there a fix to recovert this very useful functionality ?

Thanks

You can change it in System Settings (internally called Switchboard) in the Mouse & Touchpad pane.

Set the value of "Scrolling" to "Edge".

0.3 Freya

Untick "scroll with two fingers", which in turn will enable edge scrolling.

  • "scroll with two fingers" is something different. "Edge scrolling" is a feature where you can scroll with only one finger when swiping across the edge of the touchpad.

  • I know - disabling "scrolling with two fingers" should enable "edge scrolling"

Try to enable it using this command:

synclient VertEdgeScroll=1

In theory, all you have to do after that is to re-login.
