synclient dead
 

Hi there, need to ask the community about an issue i'm having after a fresh install of centOS 7 on my laptop.
Thing is that i have no control over mouse options and also there's no option for two finger scroll under system tools->settings->mouse options.
So i went to check on x11 drivers and the package "xorg-x11-drv-synaptics.x86_64 1.7.1-13.el7" is installed.
Problem is that when i run command "synclient" from terminal, it returns "Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?"
So I checked on path /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf and the file its there with my custom configuration that is the following:

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad catchall"
Driver "synaptics"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "TapButton2" "2"
Option "TapButton3" "3"
Option "VertEdgeScroll" "on"
Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "on"
Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "on"
Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "on"
Option "CircularScrolling" "on"
Option "CircScrollTrigger" "2"
Option "EmulateTwoFingerMinZ" "40"
Option "EmulateTwoFingerMinW" "8"
Option "CoastingSpeed" "0"
Option "FingerLow" "35"
Option "FingerHigh" "40"

EndSection


so ehm, am i missing something? :confused:
Thanks for help!

Is your touchpad hardware being properly detected as a synaptics device?
Your laptop model might be helpful here too.
