well... it is a beta.

[FruitieX]

Try installing gsynaptics and configuring the touchpad from there.

[loomsen]

Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "0"

Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "1"

*edit*
If you wanna use vertical scroll the option to add is:

Option "VertEdgeScroll" "True"

alternatively you may also configure scrolling if you use two finger. That way you can use your whole touchpad for scrolling, not only its edge.

Possible Options are:

Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "True/False"
Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "True/False"

Tho it would work having both options, it doesnt make sense, obviously.

*edit*
mine:

I have tried all above methods,but the scroll function still is not working

seems I have to wait until the official release.

[loomsen]

Actually, I just wanted to close this tab when I saw you have the SHMConfig Option enabled. Maybe your touchpad is brought down by default.

If so, type:

synclient touchpadoff=0
to bring it up.

[huangweiqiu]

thanks,Loomsen

I run :synclient touchpadoff=0 ,then system pointed out that I have not install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics,after I sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics ,restart computer.touchpad works perfectly.

Hello.

I've been having the same problem. Both the vertical and horizontal scrollers of my touchpad worked fine when I was running Hardy, but now that i've upgraded to intrepid, I can't get it to work at all. I've already tried the suggestions on this page as well as an older page about the subject and nothing that i've tried has worked. I've also installed the synaptics packages and drivers but it does not help. Here is how my xorg.conf file in /etc/X11 (there's also an xorg.conf.1 file, a xorg.conf.20071226220816 file as well as another xorg.conf file located at /usr/share/xresprobe, though i don't know why):

This is after several attempts to correct the problem, so the synaptics section of it may seem kind of cluttered. I'm not exactly sure what's needed or even if this file is the problem or if its something else entirely. Like I said, i wasn't having any problems before updating to Ubuntu 8.10. Any help is greatly appreciated. I love my little touch scroller. :(

I am a newbie. Upgraded 6.06 to 8.04 to 8.10 following the instructions and everything seemed to go fine. However, when it was all over the mouse and keyboard did not function at the GDM login screen. I can go to terminal mode and keyboard works fine. Looking for a solution, I did run command "dpkg -reconfigure -phigh xerver-xorg" and got the error message "package x-xerver.org is not installed"

I also tried command from another thread "sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-all" and the command ran but did not get the devices working again. I also restarted the computer. Still mouse and kbd do not work.

I would be grateful for any advice that will help me fix the x-server.org file and get the kbd and mouse working again. Thank you.

I have the same problem, what can I do? Can someone confirm that the solution is on this "solved" thread? Thanks.

Yes, me too having the same problem. There seems to be no way to fix it, as since my keyboard and mouse not really function, so that's no way to go into the terminal. looks like i have to quit again from ubuntu and will wait for version 9.

as a layment :
version 7 fail me on wireless, i quit
version 8 fail me on keyboard mouse, i quit
hopefully i can really drive into ubuntu in version 9.

as i am not techincal, but just a user, will not spend time into fixing, even though i would like to try, without a workable keyboard, no input can be done.

a brief desciption of the problem:
after booting into the login screen, i can actually enter password, but the main screen, can move the mouse or touch pad, but clicking won't work except firefox. but in firefox, i can type the address as keyboard not response.

so, temporary quit again, no worry, i have all the time to wait for it.

When this problem happens Ubuntu no longer accepts any input from the keyboard (except ctrl+alt+bksp to kill X11), the mouse still moves and allows me to perform left mouse clicks inside of applications and to items in the status bars, but menu items will not appear when clicked (the menu item depresses, but the listing never shows).

yes, this is the problem i am facing in my dell inspiron 6000... except i am not using external lcd.

hello,

This was funny, I have a desktop computer and searched for hours and hours for a fix for this problem. I tried running commands and reinstalling ubuntu. In the I had spent hours trying to fix the problem and got to the login screen for the final time before smacking the keyboard about and suddenly it started working. So I logged in perfectly and it worked. I restarted the computer and it was back to the still cursor and no ability to type anything. So again I smack the keyboard about for a bit and it works after a bit of hitting. So of course in order not to break my keyboard the third time I pressed each key one by one to find out its actually the print screen key you press and it seems to refresh everything and you can just login from there. As the saying goes if at first you don't succeed smack the keyboard instead.

This message might be a bit hard to read as it was a quick type up.
