Linux Mint enable two-finger scrolling (multitouch)
My one gripe with my laptop and pretty much any linux distro is the fact that I lost 2-finger scrolling.
Finally, with little searching I have found a solution:
- Install gpointing-device-settings
sudo apt-get install gpointing-device-settings - Run
gpointing-device-settings - Select the “Scrolling” tab.
- Check all that applay
Enjoy your new 2-Finger Scrolling
this is one of my ~4 gripes in trying to convert to Mint. do you have any suggestions for if this doesn’t work? installed, two finger vertical scrolling checked and nothing happens
If you run
gpointing-device-settingsin the terminal does it return any errors after exiting?Also, just out of my curiosity, what are your other gripes? I have plenty myself, but right now mint seems to be the best, out of the box, fit for me.
WOW this worked great!!! running Linux Mint 12 x86_64 (Cinnamon Desktop) on an HP DV7 laptop! so glad to have 2 finger scolling back. Thank you.
