Touchpad Problems
 
Hello everyone I seem to have a problem with my touchpad. The pad works fine except for the fact that my vertical scroll is not working, any advice on how to fix this problem? I have tried editing the xorgconfig file but still no luck

It looks like you are using standard ps/2 driver.
For Synaptics compatible touchpads you have to install additional driver - it's not included in the standard Xorg package. See attached documentation how to configure appropriate section in xorg.conf .

yep... installing taht drive did the trick for me

here is some of my config file

Code:
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Configured Mouse"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "CorePointer"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/input/mice"
        Option          "Protocol"              "ImPS/2"
        Option          "Emulate3Buttons"      "true"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Synaptics Touchpad"
        Driver          "synaptics"
        Option          "SendCoreEvents"        "true"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/psaux"
        Option          "Protocol"              "auto-dev"
        Option          "HorizScrollDelta"      "0"
EndSection

I installed the synaptics through linuxpackages.net so I guess all thats left is to edit the xorg file to look more like yours jp-lack. Thanks for the help
