Can anyboddy advise howto enable two fingers scroll on the touchpad? Other distros enable it by default so I can scroll long pages with two fingers.

It works for me by default. Run
and see what value VertTwoFingerScroll has. You can change it with synclient two. Use --help to see how it works. You'll probably need to run it every time you log in. There should be a way to do it with a xorg.conf.d file, but I'm not bothering with it.

I got
Code: Select all
Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?
Maybe because I`m using ATI driver downloaded from AMD website?

Are you using a xorg.conf that has disabled the touchpad driver?

I tried to make it work but failed

I have to do without scrolling somehow.
EDIT: the touchpad is mistakenly recognized by the kernel as PS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse and that is why it doesn`t work as expected.

Could be relative to some BIOS option. See if there is an option in the BIOS telling to fake the touchpad as a ps2 mouse. I've already seen that before. Do not know if that apply to your case.
