F20: Touchpad vertical scroll for Dell Latitude E5430

[Marco Guazzone]

Hello,

I've installed F20 x86_64 on my Dell Latitude E5430.

Unfortunately, it seems that the vertical scroll with the touchpad
(i.e., when you vertically scroll the page by moving up & down your
finger) doesn't work.
This includes both the single-finger and the double-finger vertical scroll

Any idea on how to get it working?

Thank you for your time!

Hi poma,

Thanks for pointing it out.

I've realized that to make the single-finger vertical scrolling
working (at least in XFCE) I have to enable it on the system settings,
where, after selecting the device "AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint" and the
"Touchpad" section, you can choose between either 'edge scrolling'
(i.e., the single-finger scrolling) or the 'two-finger scrolling'.
If I select 'edge-scrolling', the single-finger scrolling works like a charm.

Cheers

I think so.  I'm in the process of setting up a flash drive with a full 
F20 system (not a live image, because I want the full drive properly 
available) with ClamAV so that a friend can scan/clean Windows boxen 
properly, and I'm giving it Xfce because I think it's much easier to use 
for a beginner than Gnome.  And, once I have it, I'll use Clonezilla to 
make the one I give him.  That way, I can easily make more as needed.

Yeah, Xfce is cool & light.
And it allows you to customize your environment as you like...
Something that GNOME 3 (and also 2) don't allow (neither with the
gnome-tweak-ui tool) and this is the main reason why I don't like
GNOME.
There are very cool gnome-extensions, but it seems they become
unusable after a new GNOME 3 version is out (I experienced this in the
past)

Best,
