How to have ]two fingure scroll with one fingure rest on touchpad?

English Hardware
#1

I’m on a newly installed OpenSUSE gnome leap 42.1 coming from Ubuntu. Two finger scroll works fine but both finger requires dragging. I want to have two finger scroll while one is at rest on touch pad and other is dragging. How may I do this?

  • On mouse and touchpad settings, I have tap to click, natural scroll and two finger scroll enabled.

  • My synclient -l looks like this:

Hi
I think you may have to have a play with the above options to overcome
the second finger being present on the touchpad. Have a good browse of
the man page which is quite comprehensive (man 4 synclient).

Then just test from a terminal session with synclinet <option>=value.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I couldn’t get it work. I changed those bool and tried the other higher and lowering values. I’m not sure what else could I could try based on man as I am still fairly new to linux in general.

Hi
I would probably (don’t use the trackpad very often as prefer a mouse) disable the two-finger and just stick with the right-hand side single finger scroll.
