So I've been delving into the touchpad thing a bit more now that I have a few days off. This is the output of libinput-list-devices:
I'm assuming that since all the necessary features I'm looking for are listed as "N/A" then it means something is wrong? (Also because when I got to "Test Your Settings" the option for Two Finger Scrolling is set to OFF but there's STILL no single-finger scroll!...any help at all would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Two finger scroll off means two finger scroll doesn't happen. It doesn't mean you get single finger scroll. I've never heard of single finger scroll unless you click and hold the "shuttle" UI element that's on the right side of a window that indicates what section of a document you're viewing.
My laptop has an extra strip along the right-edge of the trackpad that acts like a mouse's scroll-wheel (all it will do is scroll the page, the mouse pointer position cannot be controlled by that part of the trackpad). And I've seen some that have a similar strip along the bottom edge, giving you the horizontal equivalent.
I'd say that counts as a single-finger scroll. Though perhaps you're thinking of the swipe-scroll action that various tablets now do, where you can scoot a page along anywhere that you poke along.

Dunno about the desktop the OP is using, but on Mate desktop you have an option of "edge scrolling" which is similar to grabbing the vertical scrollbar with your rodent/mouse. that is single-finger-scrolling even though that isn't its actual name.
I don't have a GNOME or KDE desktop handy to verify that they support the same thing, but I believe I've seen it in Gnome previously.

I KNOW its there! I've used it before in F23,...hmm....I guess I'll have to muck around with the gsettings or some other Gnome-related file, but I WILL figure this out! Only because I love Fedora over all the other distros!....LoL!

This thread sounds like a rehash of a similar thread from back in August that you were involved in.
My understanding is previous versions of Fedora used the synaptic driver for the touch pad. Now it is "xinput". I suggested back then that you look into "xinput" and "libinput". I also pointed you to
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org/...
Did this turn out to be unhelpful?

Alas! I had tried those options, (including the script, but to no avail!) Its ok though, I've decided to retire this laptop. So It's not that big a deal. This machine is headed to CEntOS / Scientific Linux, as for Fedora, I'll continue to run it on my desktop (which has a mouse so the touchpad issue is moot!) Thanks for all the help and suggestions though, just one more reason why I'm a "Fedoran" for life!...
Cheers!

I used to be able to dingle-finger scroll using F23, so in between then and now what's changed? I'm still using a Lenovo T-420 with an i5 and 8GB of RAM, si it must be something with the OS? absolutely nothing's changed with my hardware. Hmm....interesting.....to say the least!
