lxde inverted mouse scroll

rated 0 times [ 1] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 653 / 3 Years ago, tue, june 22, 2021, 9:48:08

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?

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 ~/.Xmodmap and reload it, as described above.

Edit /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf as 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-conf as shown here.

Try changing gsettings with gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad natural-scroll true or gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad natural-scroll false. You can also do this via gui, with dconf-editor (may require installing it).
