Touchpad scroll problems

[alexisantonakis]

Hi,

Just upgraded from 8.10 to 9.04 and the scrolling options on the touchpad do not work anymore...I have checked in the settings and they are turned on.

Any suggestions as to how I can re-enable them please?

Thanks
Alexis

Alexis,

Please post the output of...

cat /boot/grub/menu.lst

Actually I have just managed to solve the problem thanks to the following:

And this link also has some useful info on the subject:

Good job!

Are you running Xubuntu?

[alexisantonakis]

err, yes,,,,,,,,,, this is an Ubuntu forum after all :)
9.04

True. But Xubuntu isn't Ubuntu, per se. It is a derivative and there are a few significant differences. When requesting support, it's always a good idea to specify what derivative you are using so that accurate help can be provided.

When you post your thread, there is a drop-down that allows you to select Ubuntu / Xubuntu / Kbuntu, etc. You chose Ubuntu.

ok, I understand now....so to confirm, I use Ubuntu 9.04
