I Just installed l-ubuntu, and installed LXDE on it. First of all I really love the LXDE due to its high performance. But what I don’t liked that I am not able to do the natural mouse scrolling (inverted scrolling).
Can someone help me out
I used this line in my shell : echo "pointer = 1 2 3 5 4 7 6 8 9 10 11 12" > ~/.Xmodmap && xmodmap .Xmodmap
But it’s actually not working for me
Any other solution?
>Solution :
You should actually use
$ xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
to load the configuration.
If not at your home directory when executing
$ xmodmap .Xmodmap
you probably get
xmodmap: unable to open file '.Xmodmap' for reading
xmodmap: 1 error encountered, aborting.
If that still doesn’t solve the issue, Natural Scrolling in Lubuntu 17.04 has several alternatives, which seem to have helped some.
A summary:
- Modify
~/.Xmodmapand reload it, as described above. - Edit
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.confas shown here, which includes both the pointer and touchpad. - If this does not work (100% of the times), try editing
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-synaptics-confas shown here. - Try changing
gsettingswithgsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad natural-scroll trueorgsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad natural-scroll false. You can also do this via gui, withdconf-editor(may require installing it).
